Looks excellent!
Glad you're enjoying the car ( and looking after it) :wink:

Traded in a MK7 GT tdi 150 for a 16 Mk7 R, What an animal...  :grin:


Congratulations on your R. Must feel a bit different from the GT.  Pedal box makes a hell of a difference, but good to drive it as standard for a bit to suss it out.  I found the laggy throttle was spoiling my enjoyment of an otherwise epic car so action had to be taken.  Be good to see some pics.  :smiley:

Gave mine a good bath... Not had a wash in a few weeks or so. Over 3k now and absolutely love the GTI.



So easy to clean, I did the wheels and calipers in Platinum Wheels when I got it and it makes cleaning really easy.



Love the red details at night with the Indium Grey.





Looks a superb job.  Especially like the last shot which really shows the pop of the paintwork in the light.  :cool:  Also nice to see a decent close up shot of the LEDs.

Thanks, nice and easy to keep clean with the ceramic coating  :smiley:

I really like the FL LED headlights, got some cool details in them  :cool:

Looks great Jim. I’m not a big fan of the Parkers, but with Indium Grey paintwork I think they look quite good - and they do look easy to clean.

Looks great Jim, especially the last shot but next time can you start cleaning your car earlier so that you can get some finished shots in good light :grin:

Dropped mine off for the second attempt at having a new rear bumper fitted. Fingers crossed!

Watts; What happened with the first attempt that made it necessary to go back for a second attempt?
