Someone etched "Clean Me" into my bootlid!!!!!!!!! Fuming.
Thankfully, over the weekend my uncle helped me wet sand and machine polish it out and finished with some GTechniq. Now I have a mirrored boot lid and the rest of the car swirled lol

Also.................3 of my wheels have developed whiteworm over the winter. I popped down to my VW but unfortunately my cars past the 3 year warranty for replacement..this may call for a new set of wheels. BBS CH-R I reckon

I've also got some new tyres recently. Got myself some Goodyear F1 A2's. Amazing set of tyres, probably the best purchase for my car i've made

That's awful mate.  When I first read it I thought you meant they's just written it in the dirt, but to have actually scratched it on!!  Well now you've polished that bit, you'll have to do the rest to match  :laugh:

At least you've got some nice new tyres to help you over your rage.

Will do. THINK i have also found the correct controller to enable folding off the remote when you lock the car but i'm just waiting on confirmation from somebody who has already done the mod.

With regards to fitting the mirrors it really shouldn't take that long as for all intense and purposes it is a case of unplug the old and plug in the new. :)

You will need to take the door card of as the mirrors plug into door module near the middle of the door.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.
