Inspired by oryx3dr polishing his car spurred me on to break out my polisher and get cracked on, however the joy of freshly polished paintwork was soon forgotten after getting a stonechip on the windscreen on the way home. :angry:

That’s exactly the sort of luck I’d have. I feel for you.

Great shine btw

That is very nearly in the same place, that mine cracked last month! Autoglass made a great job replacing it though,very hassle free...

Collected my BBS today after a refurb and new Pilot Sport 4S', refurb was cheaper than the quote and sold my old tyres for £160 as well.

Major service and MOT yesterday. Garage also refused to change the sagging under bonnet carpet. Apparently extended warranty doesn't cover this 🤷🏻‍♂️
Tried flogging me the all in service pack so he was told to bugger off.
TCR, Pure Grey, DCC, Dynaudio and Climate Screen.

CS looks great, gutted having to replace factory windscreen, mine has a stone chip in the black band which can't be repaired, so will be like yours in the winter :( .

I looked at the service pack, but can't see the savings. Perhaps the VW roadside is worth it with just extended warranty, but even thinking about dropping the warranty, and continuing with my indy  :undecided:

The cable tie fix works well.
