Gave it a wash today only to find a nasty scrape on the front bumper:



Whilst I can't be 100% sure I didn't do it myself I'm pretty sure I would've remembered. That and the door mirror that's being replaced next Monday :rolleyes:. I think I'll get a touch up kit as the bumper has all sorts of marks anyway and if I keep the car a few more years will get resprayed at some point. Still, the new QD and buffing towel I tried today certainly got the rest of my GTI looking pretty good, I think so anyway :smiley:


That's annoying to say the least!

Get some tyre dressing on them tyres :wink:

Very :angry: Still, could be worse. This is the only car I've ever owned in 33 years that has ever been in a bodyshop and it's been 3 times in the first 2 years! I really am beginning to wonder if it's jinxed.

Tyres, very true, I've just about run out and I ran out of time today. In other words I couldn't be ar$ed :whistle: :laugh:

Funny Watts, I was starting to think my new GTI was jinxed as well (considering it's only a month old)

First the wireless phone charging option had to have a component removed when the car arrived at the dealers before they would release it to me, resulting in a full strip down of the boot trims before I'd even signed for the car !

Then the damage to the wing on collection that resulting in a protracted time without the car (2 weeks) whilst the body shop sorted it (to be fair brilliantly and to my 100% satisfaction).

Then just last week curbing the alloy avoiding a foreign truck on my side of the road.

I really hope that's my 3 and I can now enjoy the car.....

Went for a drive tonight... can really feel the diff working on the country roads, especially with stability and traction off. Literally pulls you out a corner, really good feeling. 280 Miles on so enjoying running it in  :smiley:

Waved the R estate goodbye as went back to VW today, 32K in two years and looked fabulous following its final detail.

First time since 2012 I have not had a Golf, first time since 2015 we have been down to one R.

Had the Up GTI for a couple of weeks now and have to admit totally addicted to it as is fun and like a go kart but copes with 150 mile journeys, R does feel very sensible and grown up in comparison.
