Washed, decontaminated and sealed the paintwork ready for winter. Contemplating some winter wheels, but looked at the OEM wheels and they are a four figure number, I'm not sure I can justify it, especially as I don't like the look
half the price or there is a set of bbs ck in the classifieds on here  :smiley:

Curious to hear your thoughts about the Tiguan, i seriously considered one before trading the Touareg in for the GTI.
Currently pootling around in our family wagen, a Tiguan SEL 😂

I don't get the winter wheels thing. Ugly-fying your car for 6 months. We aren't in Scandanvia! Each to their own of course.
MK8 GTI Clubsport. Reflex silver, Estorils, and a few other bits.

Oh, that looks gorgeous. :cool: Bet you can't wait.

Last Sunday, I'd just finished detailing mine and was waiting to pull out of my driveway to clean the rust of the brake discs, and a pristine Toranade Red R went by.  Driver did a double take at mine, which fortunately was looking similarly clean and shiny.  But I must say the Mk7 R looks superb in red.  Much, much nicer than the Mk6 R which I never though suited red.

Can't wait to see more pics of yours.
