Monsta if your interested I've got one of these for sale http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/mobi-v-17-portable-bike-pressure-washer/rp-prod46653.

Do you know if any of the snow foam lances can be fitted to that?  How much do you want for it?

Just booked the car in for darker tints on wed the 5th. Some may say they dont need it but the standard tints arent dark enough imo

Are you getting the driver/passenger ones done too? These are already at legal tint   :sad:

Surely though if you go to a tinting place and ask for as dark as legal on the fronts, then they put the legal tint on already legal tint levels then it isn't your fault...:smiley:

No just the back three (3door)  I want it to be a bit more...well stealth ha. Looks great in deep black pearl when clean but want it to look meaner if that makes sense.  i had the a3 had the windows tinted so it allowed 12% if light through. Some will say its chavvy but i like it. Il take photos and post once done

Nope, they driver is responsible for making sure the vehicle they are using is legal for the road.  They'll make you rip the tints off if they catch you.  That said, I want mine darker  :smiley:

Gave it the normal pampering and yet again got so frustrated with the amount of water that seems to hold in crevices then piss all down the bodywork just when you think the job is done, doors seals, boot seals, wing mirrors open, wing mirrors retracted, rear light clusters, door handles ...................... the TT had one either side on the window seals, wipe twice and job done, Mrs D thinks I have OCD as I think I do 30 laps of the car after each dry  :grin:

Also today after over 5 months and 1200 miles I found the first stone chip :cry: Strangly enough its in the exact same place all but 10mm to the first on a previous GTI, drivers side windscreen frame, quite a chunk too, might wait for a few more then get them all done together.
