Nice one Andy, many congrat's on the new purchase.
The Mk6 it such a great car. Dammn you.....you've sown the seed now and got me fancying another one  :wink:

You've got a fully loaded jobbie except for Xenons and ACC, so why bother. Save your pounds for the Mk7 GTI or something else.

Fair point..... but I'm not going to spend 30k on a Mk7. I'd rather try and get a great deal on a nearly new fully loaded mk6 GTI again.

Pee'd off today. Gave my car a really good wash a detail today and noticed some kerbing on one of my monza's. Aggghh annoyed with myself...... I remember reversing into a space and just cathching a kerb at an angle but thought the rim protection on the Goodyear F1's woulld have taken care of it.

Ouch! Sorry to hear about Monza damage. Sickening.
 
I've had a few near misses. However, the plastic Bridgestones (which have 5.5 mm rim protection and supposedly the most) came up trumps. It's for this reason alone that I have suffered them.

The 'Spitting image John Major grey' suits the GTI as well  :grin:

Thanks Martin  :smiley:
It's funny, the John Major Spitting Image thing was exactly what sprung into my mind too!
Sorry to hear about the Monza. These wheels are remarkably easy to damage and remarkably difficult to repair.


@ Gilly, thanks and thanks for the info the other day. Worked well.  :wink:  :smiley:

@ Jimble, yes I've been keeping you in mind, don't worry. How come you didn't jump in on one of Steve and Dave's group buys last year?

They are not cheap, but I may have an idea which might work.
Why don't you introduce them on your Wedding List? A couple of your friends can chip in and before you know it, hey presto, you've been LEDeed.  :smiley:
