Mines filthy after a 400 mile round trip on the motorway over the weekend. Benefit of waxing it after every weekly / fortnightly wash is that it makes cleaning it a lot easier.

Finally gave it a proper clean inside, as it approaches 22k miles as you can see I am a fatality to the saggy mk7 leather. Also service number 5 is coming at the end of the month  :smiley:

I'm assuming this is a Remus catback or muffler? These tips are exactly the look I would want if I were to change

Yep Remus GPF-Back same principle as a catback but for cars with a GPF filter. I'd personally be keen to get the chrome ones now, but red needs the chrome to brighten it up a bit imo.

There's also gloss black which if I had a white car I'd go for.

Yeah gloss black would probably be good on my white silver. I am more looking at the angled, double-wall style. Looks awesome

Replaced my petrol cap surround as after 2 years and numerous products from APC to a bit of light acid, I admitted defeat to the dirt that was imbedded into the surround. I believe it was just dried petrol though.

Sticker still to come...

Just posting some updates.

Serviced at 28k miles with brake fluid changed
Replaced the coil packs on cylinders 3 & 4 as I had a very slight misfire, only noticed due to mpg dropping
Fixed some rust on the rear psg quarter and tided up the underneath as well
Carried out a full paint correction and finished it with Gyeon Syncro Evo ceramic coating in October
New wiper blades
Fitted RGM Automotive door sill protectors
Hit 30k miles

Next plans:
Remove the carbon exhaust tips for chrome ones
Remove the front wiper arms and respray them
Acquire another set of belvedere alloys or standard 18s
