There certainly appears to be a large proportion of UK cars which just don’t get used. 

Mine has 56,000 miles and counting!

Golf mk7 / Re: CM Wheels 18” Prets

By coincidence I saw a red 7.5 today (a bit scruffy tbh) with Parkers that had been painted or powder coated a uniform mid-grey. No black inserts. Just overall grey.
Memo to self : NEVER do this!!!

I expect it would still load the premium but would anyone notice in event of a post-accident inspection? I suspect not.
 
I think my passion for Prets has started to burn out and maybe I will opt for the simple solution of keeping the car original. Less hassle all round.

Next spring I’m going to get my Parker’s powder coated when I can find someone local ish that can do the black and silver. Like you, I like the OEM straight out of the factory look.

Yeah, it's worth to test drive another 8.5 GTI. Let us know the results. Curious.

Would the insurance increase if you swapped to the older Austin wheels? Saving you about 1Kg

This car at JKSC is just beautiful. Very strong money, and couldn’t justify it myself, but if anyone wanted a cracking CS40 then this is one to consider: https://www.jksc.co.uk/details/used-car-in-stourbridge/volkswagen/golf/2.0-tsi-bluemotion-tech-gti-clubsport-40-dsg-euro-6-ss-3dr/1241243/


Yes, it is really nice.

The same dealer also has a couple of Clubsport S; one white and one black, each at £42,995. The black one has very low mileage - between 500 and 600 miles.

It's certainly a nice example of a CS. However if anyone is looking for a DSG car, there is also the option of the TCR with the 7 speed gearbox to consider.

You've had it in sport mode and it's decided to change to normal... Maybe you've used the second key...

Yeah I have been using sport mode more recently tbh. Should I expect the steering to become a bit more heavier/stiffer if I put it back in comfort mode tho?

Sport mode, heavier feeling steering. All other modes not so heavy.

It's either had a spaz and changed modes (possible) or you've changed it by accident or used the other key (all of the settings are remembered per key...)
