got it nice and clean after it got covered in brick dust.
Then noticed this damage on the passenger side sill which I hadn’t seen when I last washed it, but did notice it when washing it after Fridays MOT ffs :thumbsdown:

Damn! Too late to prove it was the garage now I guess?
What colour is that? Will look out for a sill if you like.

Ok so this is a bit ‘mild’ in the whole world of upgrades, but I’m excited to have received my forum window art. I feel I belong! Will be fitting tomorrow in the side windows (those mirror-sized bits of glass just behind my ears). I also feel I may have made a (rather small) contribution to the maintenance of the forum too 🥰

My mechanic manages the whole process and he wants to see it before casting aspersions but it looks to me like a jack mounted in the wrong spot, or something like that.

Thanks my good man, it’s Titan Silver. It’s going to my body shop guy this month to sort the lacquer peel on front bumper so maybe get this done too. Even if it was the garage, not much chance of them admitting it.

Stuck a set of Accelera 651 Sport Extras on this afternoon. I also dropped my front camber to 0.5mm, not much thought around that but I just fancied having a play. My son tracks his Golf on the Sport Extras and swears by them and at around £100 a pop that's one heck of a saving, less than half the going rate for a PS4. At that price I might even use them as my all rounder, time will tell.
I also read on here to use Miltons solution on a soft top for Algae, so I had a go on mine which was very green around the edges and it has worked well. Thank's to whoever posted that one.

Spent last night fitting the M-bumper, absolutely stoked about the new look. Note the brake ducts and grille in high gloss black; really finishes off the look

Then, after 4 hours of sleep, had a shoot booked (which is why I desperately wanted to finish all the work) with the freshly upgraded coupe. Note also the return of the diffuser! Feels good to be “back” :thumbsup:

Guessing the car might settle a little lower yet as not done many miles, but this is how it sits on the B8’s and Eibach Pro’s… not drastically different to the active set up.

Night and day difference on the road though, in a very good way :thumbsup:
