Re: Mandy's GTI :)
The roads in Surrey have literally dug themselves up with all this rain, literally like an obstacle course driving to and from work this week!

I know exactly how you feel Joejoe2612 wrote:The roads in Surrey have literally dug themselves up with all this rain, literally like an obstacle course driving to and from work this week!
My old "I'm not drunk...just avoiding potholes" sticker has never been more appropriate
Less than 15% of the Road Tax we all pay for is spent on the roads......sickening

Re: Mandy's GTI :)
It is ridiculous!!
The roads around mine are a nightmare too. There is a petrol station on one of the main roads which has potholes all over at the entrance so you have to slow right down on the main road. Either that or kill your wheels!

Re: Mandy's GTI :)
To be honest, i wouldn't mind the enormous tax rate for our GTIs if we had roads like in metropolitan America or Australia and other european countries. I really can't understand how they can lay tarmac so badly.
rant over now back to Mandy's GTI

Re: Mandy's GTI :)
feel so gutted for you and your poor wheel mandy 
I'm debating not putting my borbets back on due to all the potholes around the southwest
2 refurbs and they havent even gone on the car yet and i dont want this to happen lol
can you not just send it away for a refurb? or is it too deep?

You've got a lovely car there Mandy
feel for you on that pot hole incident! They seem to get worse day by day
find myself trying to weave around them but then I just look drunk
worth it to avoid them though!
Re: Mandy's GTI :)

I know bless it! Everyone says it isn't that bad but i know it's there and is really bugging me!! There is a place local where i might be able to get it re-diamond cut. Fingers crossed!Ashcroft wrote:feel so gutted for you and your poor wheel mandy

My Poor Boys glaze has arrived so i'm having a major cleaning session either tomorrow or monday depending on the weather. Clay bar and everything! Pics will follow
Re: Mandy's GTI :)
Could be worth taking it to them and see what kinda price they give you for gettin it sorted
That poor boys stuff is awesome stuff Mandy, me and Michaela (Lloydiexx) done hers the other day and the black looked so sweet!
