i think just about everyone hates them.

Think that's bad listen to this.. I'm 23 just moved into my own property not rented I own it, rang the insurers, saying I've moved house I'm now a home owner (which should bring it Down) told them the address which Is a much better area than when I used to live and they said my premiums for this current year have gone up £400. Because people where I live have bad credit and there have been a few claims where I live which shouldn't affect me at all and I said I'm 23 and own my own property you think my credits going to be that bad she said id need to pay upfront I refused to pay and confirm the address change so now if something happens in my new address the insurance won't pay out... Hate insurance and 1st central are the worst ever !. Wish I'd have stayed with swift cover.

Thats a good price, but it still seems silly how much they want people to pay, they want people to buy off them but never do any thing price wise to get people buying.

I ordered a few bits and pieces last night, hopefully should be coming the next few days, updates as they arrive

Woke up this morning to find some packages through my door!
The goodies! -


Went to go and put the trs tow strap on, then only to realise its not as simple as i thought so ive left that for another day, still waiting on some lamin-x so i can cover the foglights , but heres a few pics of the rest of it.




Not sure about the pink sticker, think i might take it off


I swear its been a gti the whole time....



Ill put another pic when the lamin-x turns up, and also another update soon of a little summer project i have it mind

I'm not a fan of people putting GTI badges on the car when it's not actually a GTI, and I also have a trs tow strap sitting in my boot was gonna do it today but I couldn't be assed after painting my callipers

yeah i was a bit hesitant about doing it, but on the gti grill its got like special holes on it where the should sit, and it looked really bad not having a badge on it, so i just put one on

and im having the same sort of problem you did with the bolts. so ill have to get one made somewhen.

Well if you want depending in how much it is for mine to be made il get two and just paypal me the difference and il post it off ?. Gonna go tomorrow and enquire I went paintball earlier and didn't get time. Let me know.

Whats it with people and these tow straps ?

I agree with Jord don't like the GTI Badge on the car, but I also agree with you about the gaps for it
