Has to be Reifnitz on the TCR. I really like the Belvederes but the design just doesn't suitin this instance.

Agree with Watts here. I think it's because the TCR has such a big arse - the 18's would look lost. Absolutely love Belvederes  and they are loads lighter too. Mine have been sat in the living room after getting treated to a coat of Gtechniq C5. They'll be going on at the weekend. :laugh:

I agree with watts on this one- Beautiful living room, the belvederes sit nicely on that oak floor.

At least we can all agree that Belvederes suit an oak floor 😂

Fitted the new Skoda "scoop" type washer fluid filler caps on mine and the wifes car.

Before:


After:




Also, not MK7 related, but gave the wife's Polo Blue GT a quick underbonnet detail. Not too bad for a 4 year old car ?

Not sure Dr Hilary Jones would approve  :grin:

Fitted some door exit warning lights, took less than a hour both sides, would’ve been less if you didn’t have to extend the wires (I soldered, heat shrank and taped all joins)

I've been putting this job off for 2 years, glad to hear it wasn't as tricky as it sounds...

Well I usually take trim off and fit wires in cars all day long, so I’m kinda used to it, but yeah it’s simple enough,
