Nice! :cool:. The best ever colour for alloys IMHO and Protrack One’s really suit the mk7 / mk7.5.

Anything in mind?
We all get “the itch” but ultimately it’s down to what cost vs what benefit.
Give us a clue what you fancy.

I booked the channel tunnel for August in readiness for a French rop trip.

Want to get the car looking a bit smarter before I go so just putting together a small list of jobs to do. So far I have:

Refurb of my badly white wormed wheels
Two new tyres
Sort driver's wing mirror.

I started off with the notion of just giving mine a quick wash today....anyway a few hours later I've taken the 18 inch Pretorias off and put my 19 inch BBS CI-R's on, and gave it a single stage polish and 3 coats of wax...

Also ordered new remus exhaust tips in chrome.

But like Toeman I'm also on the look out for a change of car, currently looking at M340d's, SQ5's and S4's and M4 Competitions'



Mk7.5 GTI - Performance Pack, DSG, Sunroof, Dynaudio, Pro Nav, Vienna Leather, Climate Windscreen & last of the 3 doors....Many Sets of Alloys...

Prev - Mk7.5 White Silver, Vienna Leather, Sunroof, Helix Sub, Many Wheels

I managed to replace the tube taking rainwater from the hatch door handle to outside the bottom of the door. Taking the trim off was a bit tricky as it was my first time, and a little more tricky refitting the last trim panel.

Had a custom stage 1 ECU and TCU map done at Big Fish Tuning on Friday. Car feels much more urgent now and gearbox feels less lethargic. Tried to get some OEM style overrun mapped in but sadly the GPF ruined that idea. Tempted to either swap it for a mk7 downpipe without the GPF or just completely remove the innards of the GPF and get it mapped out.
