New windscreen coming in the next couple of weeks :D

Looks like a new clutch is on the way as the release bearing is getting very stiff :(
Well done! What was up with the windscreen?

Ah! So I'll need to remember that if I ever need a new one! Had to get 2 on my old 6N due to cracks-one that was there when I bought it and another due to a stone hitting it! Where abouts is it different?

Where the mirror mounts there's a hole for the rain sensor to stick to the windscreen in the middle of the base

The normal mirror has a much smaller mount

Yeah if you ever need a new one, make sure you tell them it has a rain sensor!

Really liking the updates Alex, are you planning on putting some 16 RX2s on too ? Also can't believe Greg is selling your old Gti - don't think they are that bad on fuel!
