The interior was the main driving force for me, there was more mud inside than outside  :whistle:

You'd likely pass out if you saw mine. :laugh: I've got it booked in for a good spruce up inside and out in a couple of weeks. Looking forward to seeing what colour my car actually is again.

Oh, to have Brescias that aren't completely ravaged by white worm to the point that the outer layer is chipping off

I've got some Gyeon Rim I'm going to apply to the faces when the weather warms up a bit  :grin:

Just spoke to my local VW Parts Dept for a price on the TCR Backbox and diffusor, honestly can't believe how much more expensive the TCR backbox is over my previous CSS blackbox.

£716 was the best price they could offer for the backbox, I paid about £500 - £600 for the CSS which included fitting!

Diffusor came in at £170 + £12ea for the corner bits. Just incase that's useful information for anyone looking at picking those bits up.

At that price I'd go aftermarket and get a GPF-back system!

If you decide to take the wheels off, lay it on thick and level it off in the barrel of the wheels and don't buff it off. Leaves a longer lasting thicker coating. On the face and between the spokes always buff it off.
