Now look at this!
This is a '59 plate 5 door Golf Mk6 TSi in Carbon Grey and the brown stuff is not all mud!
In fact, I think, 80% of this has ended up as a paint problem on both sides!
I had a good look and feel! :evil:



That is an advert for Mudflaps if I ever saw one.  Although they are not for me on the mk6 think they look awful.  They suit the mk5 better and I think its to do with the black bumper trim on the mk5.  Rather than the nearly fully body coloured bumper.
Diagonally parked in a parallel universe.
On Order: Mk8 R, Pure White, Reversing Camera, Harmon Kardon, Heated seats all round.
Gone: Mk7.5 R, 5dr, DSG, Deep Pearl Black, 18” Cadiz, Nav, Winter Pack, Keyless, Dynaudio and Reversing camera.
Gone: Mk7 R, 5dr, DSG, Limestone Grey, 19" Pretoria's, Nav Pro, DCC, Winter Pack, Keyless, Mobile Prep and Reversing Camera.
Gone: Mk6 GTD, 5dr, Manual, Tornado Red, 18" Vancouvers, RCD510 + Dynaudio, heated seats.

If I was the owner of that mess, I would by now certainly be in a flap! :rolleyes:

am1w - please let me know how you get on with Chipsaway in London. I've got a nasty stone chip on my front bumper. I work in London so I wouldn't mind using them if they are any good.

Thanks M

Hi MAW.
Sorry about your chip on the front bumper.
I am seeing him this evening at 5pm.
They have different operatives working in different areas.
Mine is for West London and his name is Tony Daher, tel no 0773 688 700. I have heard of him before and he is of good repute.
The repair of the 'nick' on the black plastic of the rear bumper will cost more than the part itself, which costs approx £60. So I have ordered the part. However, I am going to ask him to attend to the chip on the painted part of the rear bumper which I think was due to some carless parking by some horrible person/thing.
Will keep you posted.

3700 miles and this is by far the worst I've seen on any car I have bought, I had a black metalic Fiesta last and in 7000 miles doing the same journey's nothing nada. Where do we go from here ?

I think he covers your area too.
The contact tel no for another Chipsaway guy who is based in Battersea is 07796 178 808. I, for the life of me, cannot recall his name. But his initials are L.L! The name sounded Chinese to me!
