I had my new R professionally detailed last week. It turned out well I think you might agree!

I think it's fair to class that as shiny Joe.

Refitted the standard air box whilst I clean my intake. It sounds so boring and it spools so slowly :(

Easier said than done. Got my first stone chip already! In a really obvious place too, just in front of the mirror at bottom of A pillar. Crap.

I feel for you Joe :sad:  The first cut is the deepest, as the song goes!  Are you going to fill it/touch it in or yet or wait a while?  Sadly I expect there'll be a few more to come. 

But otherwise hope you are enjoying the car?

I'll try touching it up myself, just need to get my hands on a touch up kit. I've had limited success with doing touch ups in the past, I probably wouldn't bother if it wasn't in such an obvious location!

Yeah, you are right, I'm sure it'll be the first of a few more in time... I never seemed to pick up many or even any on the white. A much more forgiving colour though.

Oh yes, otherwise very much enjoying the car!! It's great, really does feel like a step up from the GTI.

I did a couple of tasty mods on it yesterday (or rather I "helped" a fellow member on here do it for me!). LED door-card warning lights (in place of the cheapo reflectors) and rear LED footwell lights. Very nice touches. We also did a few minor VCDS tweaks such as the full brake lights, locking chirp, fan-speed display on Auto, heated seat memory, auto coming home headlights...
