A partly enforced economy run. Got an unexpected early release from work so thought I'd give the GTI a bit of a run so took the long way home. 18 miles, mostly motorway. Was intending to give the right pedal some exercise only to find the M25 a bit slow. The mpg was clocking up rather nicely so I thought I'd see how high I could get it. Settled in nicely behind a slow lorry and just as I left the M3 it was on 50.1. Peaked at 50.3 about 3/4 mile from home but some junctions knocked it back to an average 49.4 once reversed on to the drive. Not bad though! Not in any rush to repeat it anytime soon...

Saw these dirt cheap on the bay, and thought I'd get them for the rear door speakers to look similar to the ones up front, and slightly brighten up the back doors a little.  Just for fun.





Did the Dynaudio part of this little mod today so Thank you Sootchucker... :cool:

Just waiting for speaker surrounds to turn up.

They look good are they glued to the speaker or push fit. Can I ask where you had them from please?

So I found myself with a little time on my hands on a beautiful sunny day, so I decided it was time for a little bit of DIY painting, so i gave the old disc bells a lick of paint

Here's the original link provided by Sootchucker for both the badges ( which stick on with 3m already attached to the badges ) and the 5 door rear speaker surrounds

They are push fit. Just apply some pressure for about 20secs and job done....http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/322373990894?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

I can't take any credit for this find as it was Sootchucker that first put me onto them but they are good and it just adds what should be there already.

Received the speaker surrounds yesterday to go with Dynaudio badges.

Was allowed to take the CS to Oulton for a spot of testing after washing it last week.
