Oh Rolfe what have you done?

First talk of Spring and 3 inches of snow falls on us over last night and during most of today :angry:

Only joking I for one have had about enough of this winter now and cannot wait for spring when I can really go hell for leather in my GTI.

Those are monster mats and are an accessory in America - but only available in left hand drive, sadly  :sad:

That's funny because a lot of the mods the americans are doing are painting over them.

I do not like the orange spot ...it looks like it does not belong on the car....the mats however are the thing to have but immediately a pity for me that they only sell them to guys who drive on the wrong side of the road.... :lipsrsealed:
