Tool it for its annual paint check  :grin:






Hi mcmaddy,
I presume it’s at the main dealers? Also what do they check for & is it required as part of the warranty?

Thanks, never heard of that before.
Cheers, Chas.

Hi Chas no it's nothing wrong with the actual paint it's my paint protection check that my detailer applies. I get a free maintenance was and check to make sure the ceramic coatings are still working.

Oh that's not good. Many a day my neighbours must look and think what the hell is he doing as I leave pieces of kitchen roll and then pour warm water over them to shift the bird turds.
On another note I'm still debating on a gloss black roof for mine. I spent far too much time talking to my detailer this morning  :grin:

Get it wrapped! If your detailer does wrapping even better as they can remove the ceramic off the roof, I wouldn't hesitate wrapping the roof black on the mk7.

Officially cancelled the Tiguan I had on order as after 30 weeks on order there is still no confirmed build date. Got my deposit refunded in full, and earlier this afternoon paid the balloon off on the GTI so it’s staying  ;D  The whole ordeal has been nothing short of shocking and if I didn’t buy the GTI, I would almost certainly not buy another car from those jokers and would have moved brands.

Thought with only 18k miles on it, heavily optioned, and only 11.5k to own it outright (and touch wood - it’s perfect and everything works as it should), that it was better the devil you know. So looks like I’ll be hanging round here for sometime yet.

So it’s mine…all mine

I think the majority of manufacturers are in the same boat unfortunately Andrew. You've kept the better car though 😉👌

I think that is both a wise move and a bargain.

*Also I would expect you could probably make a nice profit should you change your mind in next few months as used car prices are going up weekly and wouldn't expect that to change this year.

My TCR via WBAC is nearing what I paid for it a couple of years ago!
