My ocd is all over the first set of photos..... Did you take it while your rear wiper was mid swipe?  :signLOL:

Lovely car though!!

lol.

It was only a few days after i got the car and i could not work out how to turn the bloody rear wiper off.

I drove a good 20 miles with it on all the time, then worked out the stalk also pushes forward and back - problem solved...;)

Well spotted.

What wheels are those? They look like VZ's or Pescaras?
Also, how much were you charged just out of curiosity for the paintwork on your trim bits? Want to get mine done at some point!

I think they are BBS CH, were on the car when i got it.  Same ones as on the ED30's.

The paintwork was £320 all in, but that might because i know a good sprayer and he done it for cash.  That also included fitting and spraying the ED30 Splitter.

Most other on here have paid around £400 i think.

It's well worth doing, really makes the car look better.  I really don't know what VW were thinking leaving the parts black, most other cars, especially top of the range models are colour coded from factory!

The ED30 front splitter is also worth doing IMO if you can find one.

He is mate - in Kingswood.

Here ya go:

https://www.yell.com/biz/d-dando-motors-bristol-155905/

It's just his and his son who have a garage in an industrial estate.

The only downside is that he only works half days so you will need to leave the car with him for about 3 days.

I took it into him on friday and got it back wednesday morning...:)
