think i'm going to miss not having a convertible this summer.. at least i've got air-con, and a sun roof.. not sure how i'll cope with the leather tho..

am enjoying seeing the paint on my car come to life now.. on the dull days this winter my car just looks plain black.. but with sunshine catches it the pearl glistens.. makes me smile as it reminds me what it was like when i bought it just before the sun hid (got it in mid oct).. the vw colour for my car is "black magic"  :)

Since I bought my wind deflector, I have had my roof down quite a bit. Best e-bay bargain for the car ever. I really reccomend getting one for some buffet-free roof-down motoring.

Managed to get mine down the other Saturday, wishing my life away waiting for summer though, need to be careful with the old bonce myself !!!

Ads, those wind deflectors sound like they are worth it, do you know how much they are without going through e-bay ? Can you buy them easy ?
