See that's what inspired me but I don't think it works as well on the golf, not enough area to purchase so I won't be too bothered when this quick job of mine falls off lol

You have to have an eye for what works and what doesn't. Just had the roof spoiler fitted to the leon and folk say its right! i'll post photos when i get a photobucket account.

EPC fault again. Could this be the time to reject?

Drove out about 4 miles to get a Sunday treat cooked breakfast this morning, then drove to Smyths (a few mils away to buy my niece a birthday present). Stopped at some lights, the stop-start kills the engine, lights are about to change and I get a message to say to restart the car manually. I turn the key, the car fires up, but the EPC warning lights and stays on. I have Turbo this time though. Get to Smyths, buy the present and then coming back to the parked car, it starts up without the EPC light and drives normally for the rest of the day (about another 30 miles).
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

I mean this in the best possible way MH, but you spent 9/10 months waiting in agony for the car and ever since you got it you've been looking for excuses to bring it back / reject it! I believe the EPC light can come on for the most banal of reasons. It could be something very straightforward. I'd suggest bringing it to a different service dept than last time(s) though....

I would reject it buddy, it's clearly more of an issue tha your local dealer can handle. I had to reject my GTI at the beginning of the year, I was hesitant but this one is so much better
