Few more updates to the GTI recently.
Took the car on a bit of a road trip to Yorkshire and County Durham in early May. The car was faultless and found some lovely roads!
Most of them were twisties but this straight was fun!
Then last month I tried on some 20mm spacers on the rear from my friends Jetta to see what improvement they'd have on the stance.
I think a set of 15's would be perfect and 10 in the front!
Next up was one piece of bad news. Although all good at the same time (i got a fresh windscreen)!
Some of or local back roads have been stone chipped recently (hate that stuff!) and an oncoming car flicked a stone up at the windscreen. 100 yards down the road a chip turned into a 12" crack. Booked up through Autoglass Sunday evening and had a new one in early afternoon on Monday! Can't fault them!
Sunday 02/07/17 I gave the car an oil and filter change, filled up with the finest Castrol Edge.
Just a note of the mileage for myself!
Otherwise it's just been maintenance washes and tidying up little bits. I'm hoping to have a go at a 2 stage DA polish soon to bring some depth back to the paintwork and remove the swirls.
Sometimes I forget I'm not driving a tractor!
Today I gave the drivers side brake/hubs a quick paint. Had some Reflex silver from my old TDI so used that. It probably won't stand the heat but it'l be interesting to see. I need to do the edge of the discs too now.. and the calipers... and the stone shields... it never ends!
What do you guys think to the tyre pen? I feel it's a bit too racecar for an almost stock gti but we'll see!
Thanks for looking,
Matt.
