Sweet thanks, I'll take a look.

330 miles in and I've developed my first knock / rattle - coming from the passenger front side. Can feel it when braking and in the steering too. So that's my next job getting that booked in...:rolleyes:

Just come back from Sainsbury's & found some ignoramus has damage to my bumper,not sure if it was done by a car or trolley? but annoying nevertheless ,looks like it's going to be another insurance claim as the bumper has deformed in shape.

Really sorry to see this, the carelessness of some people is beyond comprehension.  Feel your pain. Always awful when the damage is right on the crease.

Got it back from the dealer after a £5k warranty repair due to turbo failure after less than 30k miles and 2.5 years. Was only serviced by VW 2 days prior.
New turbo, inlet manifold and DPF (as it was full of oil)

Put PP GTI badges on front and rear. Not because I wanted it to look like a PP, but because I wanted the additional red accents, which I knew would look good against the Tungsten Silver. I also felt that the flat silver GTI badge on the rear didn't show up at all. There's a bit more design to the PP badges, too, with the raised edges. Look better than expected.
