Swapped my bridgestones for f1s, obviously will have to scrub them in first but let's see if they make a difference.

A lot of 2nd gear acceleration after you left me then?!?

Lol yes mate lots of wheel spin but I was getting the geometry done so I thought I might as well get the tyres swapped over at same time, still had 2-3mm left on them too but never mind. Need all the grip advantages I can get :smiley:

I've used it for years now and I have always been impressed with it.

I wouldn't bother with the Glos as they say that it is more of a quick detailer. Ive never trusted quick detailing the car as I believe you are just smearing the crap all over the car.

Both the prime and Jett are really easy to apply and seem to have about 3-4 months of durability.  I tend to apply 4 layers of Jett just allow 30 minute cure time in between which allows you do to other bits like wheels, engine bay, exhaust etc.
Thanks for that, just looking on Polished Bliss' website and its out of stock! Do you know of anywhere else to get it? Ta

Taking a bit of a gamble on this. A friend of mine saw this on Aliexpress so thought I'd take a punt. Paid on CC, so I'm covered if it doesn't arrive but understand they have quite a good rep.

It's a MK7 RHD footrest for the GTD in the same style as the pedals. It will most likely take 3-4 weeks to arrive by registered China Post, but when it arrives and is fitted, I'll post up a little review.

Here's the beastie:

Look forward to hearing about that Sootchucker. How much it set you back?

yeah, like a lot of people I've been waiting for the one at Superskoda to be finished (for over a year now), and despite numerous emails, they never seem to answer.

I've already been notified that it's shipped so that's good. Cost was £34.10 (special offer), but there might be some import and VAT, we'll just have to wait and see.

When it arrives, i'll post some details on fit and finish and whether it's worth the money and of course photos.
