So I got a nice phone call today saying that the car will be ready to collect tomorrow :cool:

A little over 3 weeks of driving a diesel Vauxhall has almost killed me, how Chuff is surviving is beyond me :grin:

I have collected a few little and a few not so little parts over the last few weeks, I'm not going to post any pics of it until they're all fitted which will hopefully be next week sometime :smiley:

You big tease.... damn, has it been three weeks already!?

Got it back! Wahay! :smiley:

They have done an amazing job, paint work is very very good, the car has been fully valeted but the best bit is the underside!

It has been fully waxoiled, stone chipped & painted, they even painted both front & rear beams, all brake lines have been coated in copper grease etc. I'll post some pics of the underside tomorrow, but you'll have to wait a few days for the rest of the car :cool:

If anyone in West Yorkshire needs a bodyshop then consider Auto Body Worx :wink:

Almost hit a rabbit at 75mph on the M1 before :shocked:

Had visions of my splitter being destroyed again :grin:

A quick pic because I'm unsure about the rear end:



I'm not sure what to do with the badges:

1. Debadge 'Golf' & 'Gti'
2. Put the standard silver VW badge back on, leave the 'Golf' & 'Gti'
3. Swap for a smaller Sharan VW badge (in black) & leave the 'Golf' & 'Gti'

I'm also debating an Anni boot spoiler :undecided:

Basically I'm not liking the look of the rear ATM and need suggestions :grin:
