2 coats per wheel. I'd imagine my grass is going to end up the same. Clean wheels (acid) doesn't go well with grass... And in fact, as I type this, to my right my dad is standing at the back window exclaiming how there's two big dark circles on the grass. Oops.

Hahahaha......

Yeah when I was cleaning them I was thinking to myself this isn't a good idea. I found it really easy to use, think I put to much on first time I did it on the bbs'.

Bilberry wheel cleaner is what you want...its awesome and its acid free!

Nice Pic Nigel, outlines perfectly why Black GTI's are the best

I think we have now defined, as red is the rarest colour, that red is in fact the best and fastest

More red GTI's have been scrapped & destroyed because they were too slow

I agree

hehe But its true Alex's red GTI was the fastest of all the GTIs in the whole wide world apart from Ben's GTI obviously though Ben's GTI is black therefore not as fast as red

i guess two can play at that game

Gearbox is clunking going in to third a sign it's on the way out again? It's only doing it sometimes and it started after sitting for an hour and a half in stop start traffic.

It's currently sitting cooling down at the minute and will be for the next few hours. Hopefully it's gone by the time I have to drive home.

could be a shift cable problem

Something a bit more simple than a buggered gearbox?

Also, either the clutch got heavier or my leg was getting tired, but the clutch pedal was kinda creaking on the way up too.

Oooh that could be the pedal box weld failing. Thats great fun to replace

You'll like how nice a chrome trimmed headlight switch fits in with the interior Nigel

Hmm that could be it! Maybe the clutch not coming all the way up because of the pedal box and the gear snatching occasionally? I don't think my car has had the pedal box replaced/welded
