What, what?!
Hasn't been for a while now! (Notice my lack of updates).

I can't afford to have a film/photography interest & also a major car interest. And my filming will get me a career so the car comes second.
My car's great as it is, needs a few touches over the summer, so there's no point ploughing more money into it! Just gunna enjoy cruising round in it 8)

Agreed, i think there comes a point where you reach the end of what is cost-efficient feasable when modding cars, and it's time to focus on subtle touches and just enjoy the driving rather than having it in pieces every weekend..

Good pics Alex.

Your GTi sits so much better than your Dad's. No offenece to your Dad like. But I think the GTi should've came out the factory with your ride height.

Agree with Emma that they should of left the factory with your ride height, 16" wheels as standard would of been nice too :D

A sad day for the GTI :(

Came back from holiday yest, and it appears either we have had rather strong acid rain, or the next door neighbour has been spraying bleach or weed killer or similar and its totally ruined the finish of the drivers side, the whole bonnet and roof :(

All these little marks in the paint where the lacquer has bubbled - one perfect spray job now ruined

Not quite sure where things will go from here as its rather upsetting :(

Thats pretty bloody harsh man,especially as it's already had a respray and from pictures looked spotless.I'd definately pop over to next door and see what has been going on,i can't see rain doing that much damage unless you have particles of volcanic dust drifting the air of Dorset.

Keep us updated.
