It can be fine tuned Lee, you can adjust sport+ to increase/decrease sensitivity.
Yeah, dropped it a couple of notches for the drive home from work, better. I can see why people rave about them. Makes the car much more lively...

Is car dsg? If so do you not find it always wanting to kick down gears?

No its a manual. My last car, (Passat) was a DSG, but wanted the manual in the GTI.

Over last few weeks, I've had seatbelts changed to black/red edging, gloss black seatbelt harness trim (not sure correct name) fitted, MOT, Brake Fluid Change/Upgrade to Racingline Braided lines/Fluid, Scorpion Non Resonated Catback system fitted & switched back from standard wheels to the BBS's

Wow yeah that's an awesome looking Clubsport, really well done. What is the spec on the wheels/tyres please? Spacers? Also, have you uploaded a video of the exhaust on youtube yet? Could you?? Pretty please, cherries and everything

BBS CI-R are 8J - 8.5J ET 45, I'd assume they're the 8.5J which I had with no spacers just lowered.

Finally found my tyre depth gauge and was pleasantly surprised to find out my Michelin PS4S's are actually 6.5mm and 5mm depths not 5mm and 3mm as I previously guessed.

Along with the brighter evenings and increasing temps I swapped them over onto the Brescias ready to move over to summer tyres soon, and put new (with label) Dunlop Sportmaxx RT2's on the Pretorias ready for sale.

Had first go at machine polishing with a DA. Spent ages watching YouTube and reading detailing  threads in forums.
I did rush it to be honest but I haven't got loads of time.
Washed it yesterday afternoon then decontaminated it this morning then clayed. Two stage polish then topped with dodo orange crush which I had for ages.
Quite pleased with results considering time frame. Especially pleased with how the Gloss back B pillars came up. Really been annoying me how scratched up they look,  but now almost scratch free.
Ignore the wheels, got my Brescia's with new Michelin ps4s ready to fit on Thursday!

Looks good. You’ll have to let me in on your secret to speedy DA polishing; it usually takes me a couple of days when I do my car, and then a few more days to recover from the aches and pains of all that polishing! :grin:

I personally prefer the grey Pretoria’s to Brescias, so I won’t ignore them :smiley:. IMHO they work really well with Tornado Red.

Spring has sprung and summer has arrived, introducing the new summer look. Pretorias sold within an hour of me listing them on Facebook marketplace as well so I'll be able to get half a tank of fuel at the current prices.

How much do OEM alloys typically sell for, if you don't mind me asking? Thinking of possibly switching my Brescias in the future after a refurb.
