Those wheels look better on the car every time I see them. Looks good sat lower aswell.

I love the prets and they just look even better now

Looking awesome, just saw the pics on AKS FB page and thought it may be your car  :cool:

Alex has doen a greta job on the alignment so it has a bit more turn in

Looks amazing wigit  :cool:

So that's a map and lowering so far, I doubt that's the end of it.  New wheels next?  :wink:

some more vinyl, more boost and a trip to talk brakes planned this week, then a full detail and i will put the TSW i had on the 35 on

Lovin the mirrors and front lip Andy! Really suits it imo, nice drop too. :cool:

way better without the bling and better than the anthracite i tried

Got to experience the anti-crash functions when an idiot in front of me decided to stop in the middle of the road :angry: Not sure if they were hoping for a crash claim but the Gti red alert kicked in on the dash and the car's anchors slammed on, excellent

Tried out the Ultimate Finish snow foam I'd bought recently.  Wasn't planning on washing the car, but a few direct bird poo strikes on the bonnet & drivers side while parked at Tesco had to be removed.  :angry:

Foam didn't seem quite as thick as the Auto Rae Chem stuff I used previously, but it rinsed off easier, and more importantly removed all the crap without any trouble. Thankfully the paintwork was unmarked as I'd cleaned it quickly enough.

While the snow foam is intended as a pre cleaner, it left the car clean enough to not need anything else - and with rain forecast for tomorrow it wasn't worth spending too long cleaning anyway.

Sorted out all the album artwork on my SD card.... 10,768 songs organised, filed and with artwork showing..... Bit of a balls ache to be honest but now it's done it's a fantastic jukebox when you put it on "shuffle all songs"!

Pulled a 5" screw out of one of my rear tyres. :'(

Got home to a clicking sound, thought it was a stone (as usual, drive is full of them). 20 mins later i'm standing by the side of the car and notice the tyre completely flat. Cue a frantic wheel change and trip to the tyre shop. Result? Not good... Thanks TPMS, good to know I can rely on you.

Got my VCDS cable out and activated
DRL and Fog light for coming / leaving home. So much better looking.
Also activated the inner lights on the tailgate as brake lights.

I'm also looking to activate coming home being automatic rather than flashing the light as that's so much better.

Arrived at centreparcs this morning and on a side note you can fit two mountain bikes in a 3 door if you are a couple of dwarfs, luckily I've driven up separate to the rest of family. However strangest thing is that upon getting out my bike I noticed I am minus my left rear car mat, now I can only think that I've taken it out when cleaning and not put it back in and some bellend has picked it up, probably adds 10bhp to a saxo or something. Either way anyone know where I can get ONE rear car mat from or fancy selling me one of theirs :smiley:
