Yep, it's bl00dy embarrassing parking next to his, that's for sure Robz :embarassed:

Well, been up to Buxton this morning in it and yes, there is an improvement. Seems to pull a little stronger, especially in 3rd & 4th but that could just be the pipercross

. Also could be the fact that the last thing I drove was the works Passat estate

It's also a lot better being able to raise and lower the drivers window again

I also have added these wind deflectors recently but hadn't taken any pics of them.

I don't know whether I have the drivers seat in a funny position or what but I used to get a lot of wind noise around me ears but these have removed that little annoyance

Cheers Mate,

With the bank holiday weekend upon us I will have the wheels off, calipers cleaned and then they will be sporting some green paint

I won't be starting anything today cos it's fecking raining again

Nice idea!
Can ya see much caliper behind the wheel?

Enough of it to see that they're manky Mate

They're a lot easier to keep clean when they're painted. I did the calipers on the Golf and they looked so much better.

Also need to find some brake pads that don't give off as much dust, every time I go out in it I have to scrub the flippin' wheels after

Might get some green stuff pads and see what they're like
