Ggrrr.
It happens - the first one always seems the worst. Unfortunately stone chips are an inevitable consequence of driving on the UK’s roads - many of them poorly maintained, and resurfaced cheaply with loose clippings .

One of the first things I always buy when I get a new car is some touch up paint to deal with them as and when they happen.

I hope you didn't pay full price for those paddle shifters. They're something crazy like £192. You can get exact copies on Aliexpress in Aluminium for less than £20. They used to be about £40 - when I bought mine.

They come in anodized red, natural aluminium and black.

I got the natural unpainted ones but decided soon after they're far better in Matt black and spray painted mine.

can you let us know if you had to do any coding to clear errors on the dash when changing out to LED fig lamps?

Fortunately I got them at half price [emoji23]

No errors with these foglamps, I had Osram but they made error code...

Well the ones I bought have halved in price since I bought them. Couldn't find anything lacking in the Aliexpress ones, they were manufactured to every high standard and are a doddle to fit.

I used the "Jogon" shop within Aliexpress and couldn't find them there, but their prices for similar alternatives remain high.

I just Google searched "aliexpress aluminium paddle" and they came up straight away for £10.78 on the pictured links at the top of the Google page, second from left (pictured sets in red, silver, black, blue). Click the link and it takes you to Jinshan accessories store.

Do yourself a favour and buy black - they look far better in black than in silver.

Today I make the first handbrake fast parking maneuver with the Polo, it's super efective :twisted:

Took her to my local countryside stately home for a photoshoot this morning.

It was also good to pair my iPhone to my Fuji X100F so it acted as a remote trigger.
