I hope Fran can soon see the back of all these problems
and find a garage with somebody who can put a rear number plate on correctly

I'm going to two garages tomorrow to get quotes for fixing some guy thinks he can repair it but I think he'll need new parts either way as long as its done I'm happy. Should soon have my sel grille so the cars getting there... Slowly haha

Finally took the plunge! Hopefully should get it sometime this week. Bought a gti grille too was on a real role because I got the gti for 43quid!!! Too good to be true because the douche then emails me saying his mum ran over it and damaged it so could he cancel the auction... I know he's full of it but what can we do eh?! Has made me look into getting the gti grille and painting the red bits silver and take gti badge off as below

Well... I come home from work all exited like a kid at Christmas because I've got two parcels waiting for me, ripped into the first one (the grille) and wow! Was I surprised yep! It was the wrong bloody one, they've only gone and sent me the standard grille the plebs... Why me?! So thought oh never mind ill sort it at least I can put on my replacement aerial (which I know is the right thread thickness this time) and it was thick enough... But too long. So there was a gap between the base of the aerial and the aerial roof base with a skinny middle... Needless to say that's gone in the s**t drawer haha. I'm just gonna bite the bullet pay the extra money and get the kit from vw direct and avoid disappointment. Just clocked 6000 miles in the car today it's gone quite fast however changing jobs now so ill be lucky to be doing 20miles a week commuting.

Two grilles fitted today SEL & GTI
















I think it looks awesome GTI badge taken off so GTI owners and enthusiasts don't shout at me haha

Also got my reg put on so I'm well made up now!!

Small update, added ABT sportsline badge to cover the gti gape that was starting to annoy me looks decent I think however I hate this weather as the cars filthy again!

Will get some day time pics tomo

Chrome steering wheel insert fresh from china, big improvement I think

1 nice clean car how long it'll last I don't know.

Guys I need some opinions please!

Over the next month or so I'm going to be FINALLY upgrading the wheels I'm set on 17s but not sure what to go for... Any suggestions or opinions would be great!

Cheers

Fran

So far suggestions I've had have been...

The 4th ones down, the TSW's would look awesome on this!

My mrs suggested them haha! Suppose she has decent taste she hates the superturismos tho

They're all Audi-esque except for the supertrismos, I think that the TSW's would suit it well, so would the supertrismos done in anthracite!

I do think I'm gonna go for the TSWs tbh & probably get some Nankang ns-2 tyres wrapped round them. Plus can keep the 15s as winter wheels
