What have you done to your MK 7 today ?

You're overthinking it. It's highly likely to be sticker residue that wasn't removed properly in the PDI. The wheels usually have stickers / tape / labels on them from the factory.

As Joe says. This is how mine was pre collection after it had just arrived on the boat.

They were thoroughly cleaned up with all residues gone prior to me applying C2V3 to them when the car was picked up. The residue is new. Maybe they have to apply stickers as some kind of markers during the wheel realignment process?

It's clouded over - watch the Chelsea match or give the car a C2V3 coat?

Sold it!!

They might have to strap the wheels down when doing the alignment. It's a while since I ever had that job done but I remember the wheels needed to be secured down.

I have been sweeping glass after thugs smashed the front door down with sledgehammer & stole my golf r .i was asleep at the time in my cabin at the bottom of the garden completely unaware  ,but they confronted my wife who was in the house at the time screaming for the keys,luckily they didn't go up stairs where my two young boy were sleeping. The police latter found the car abandoned by the side of the road,but to be honest I wish they had'nt .

Does anybody know have this will affect the resale value of the car now it's been stolen & Recovered.

Gazmondo - is it on a PCP or bought outright? If PCP, at minimum you would give the car back rather than pay GFV to make it yours. Likelihood is that a dealer would still give you some equity if you are on the lower GFV rather than the higher (£18k +) one that was in place before the Nov 14 price rises.

I ended up going out and giving the car it's C2V3 treatment after all and have ended up missing 4 goals in the Chelsea vs Swansea match (would've been watching as a neutral). The small stone chips are starting to accumulate at the front end now (around 8 of them), a few small surface scratches sorted with Mer and a C2V3 top up afterwards.

Noticed that my kind neighbour has placed 17 prosecco/wine/spirit bottles and a load of boxes in my recycling bin, a week before it is due to be emptied. I could not accept such generosity and so have placed them neatly back by their overflowing bin (they had the same bottles, but fewer of them - how I knew it was their rubbish) which is between the edge of their drive and the pavement, with printed out directions to our local tip stuck to it. Our bins are well on our property, they would've had to come through our back gate and halfway up the drive to deposit them in our bin). They're away for the weekend, so I couldn't have a word.

At least they don't park across our drive any more following Police intervention.
