They look really great with the red body colour.
Mk6 GTI Carbon Grey, 2010 Bluetooth and voice fitted, a few VCDS mods still a comfortable family car. Red Scirocco 2011 twin charger stage 1 - enjoyable drive now gone.  White 2016 Polo GTI (roller skate on steroids) replaced with an Indium Grey 2019 7.5 GTI PP.

Thanks, I'm going with a dark theme again with this car but trying to not make it exactly the same as my old GTD, which is a lot harder than it seems :grin: :grin:

Cleaned and treated the door seals to some Krytox, hopefully it'll help with some b-pillar area rattles. A quick test drive afterwards was positive but I'll give it a week or so to be sure. The sunroof could do with some tlc too.

I hear removing the resonator is good for drowning out rattles  :wink:

Sunroof and windows open works a treat too! Not so good on wet days mind....

Oil change! It was a bit of a faff using the extractor but changing the filter was just SO simple; such a great design :cool:

Those wheels look fantastic. Love the red trim to the centre caps; I'm very tempted myself...

Watts; is the Krytox something you've bought recently? I did look online a couple of weeks ago for some but it was eye wateringly expensive!

No, I've had it a long time but it wasn't cheap even then. It's supplied by car manufacturers other than VW and can also be bought from the original manufacturer but with a different name. I can't remember what that was though but if it comes to me I'll post it. It was discussed on here a few years ago.
