Beautifully clean as always but I can't help thinking it looks a little scared of the ground  :undecided:

I take it that arm rest cubby hole tidy is not a standard R thing? Looks like a good idea as otherwise its just a bit of a bottomless pit.

Not my fault you bought them. I merely suggested you should have pressed plates  :tongue:

Ah that might be it.....or there's still a little bit of the transport block left behind  :laugh:

Lowering the car would reduce the amount of room she'd have to get her arms up into the wheel arches to clean the springs. That would never do.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

You know what happens with 'mere suggestions'.  Still you can't take all the blame/credit as new plates were already on my radar.  :smiley:

Definitely no transport pucks, lol.  I checked them on collection, grovelling round on my belly on the tarmac as the dealer salesman looked on with bemusment/pity.  :grin:
