Gave mine a quick wash yesterday. Really loving the Tornado Red!







It was completely effortless to clean (especially the wheels) which made the hard work a couple of weekends ago really worthwhile!

Also loaded some station logos on to the radio, looks really cool!

Dead easy mate... Download the GB logos from this link: http://www.volkswagen.de/de/models/golf_7/brochure/senderlogos.html

Put the file on to an SD card and insert that in to the SD2 card slot in the glove box.

In the Radio screen, hit setup (bottom right) and click on Station Logos. Select the SD2 Card and then scroll through until you find the one you want. You do have to add each one individually but it's really easy and took me less than 5 mins to do those in the screen.

Done it. Thanks
Logos are a little smaller than I expected. Mine show up about 10mm X 10mm when viewed using the station info option  :cool:

Took her to my dads house to take him out for a spin, he's convalescencing and no excitement, so I took him out and scared him stiff he said he loved it and the best day he'd had in ages

Well I never actually asked VW if they could supply them, I reckon they probably could, so long as you gave them the part numbers, etc.
As for insurance I don't know. As I said, they are "VW" springs fitted by a VW dealer  :wink: One I'll think about when it comes to renewal time.

What made you decide to go for the VWR Springs over the cheaper Eibach ones? Do they cause any problems if you have Dynamic Chasis Control? I don't see why they would but i'm looking at getting this done as the car sits just a little too high in my opinion.
Current - MK7 Golf GTI - Tornado Red, 5 Door, DSG, Performance Pack, Dynamic Chasis Control, Panoramic Sunroof, Discover Navigation, Dynaudio.

On Order - MK7 Golf R - Pearlescent Black, 3 Door, DSG, Vienna Leather, Discover Nav Pro, Rear View Camera, High Beam Assist, Keyless Entry, Dynaudio (Tech Pack)

All gone.

Now;

MK7 Golf R - Lapiz Blue, 5 Door, DSG, Carbon Nappa, Discover Nav Pro.
