What did you and your MKV do today?

[spwd]

Fitted a set of Bosch wipers and If you're buying wipers, I just got a set of 3 Bosch aerotwins for £25 from Wiperblades.co.uk compared to £55 from Euro and add the discount code.

Fitted my new MIB 2 unit and fixed the washer tube leak going to the rear washer..

Tomorrow I'll hopefully have time to get everything together again so that I can have my trunk back without different car parts is taken the space

Thanks man, appreciate it.  The suspension has settled since taking that picture and they look perfect on it now.

Ragged it around Blyton Park on a trackday and surprised a few people with fully stripped out trackday cars! 

March...20 degrees and sunny!

My 2004 mk5 doesn't have rusty front wings, but the rear right one, side panels and tail gate are all eaten up 
Guess I'll replace the 2 front panels before I'll repaint the car though..

After recently getting my car repainted one of the things that was letting the car down was the exhaust tips. After years of neglect from the previous owners it had started to crumble and rust up. Being a bit tight after spending a hefty wad on the respray I decided to use the cheap trick of using the Audi A4 exhaust tips to cover over it.

I know it may be a marmite mod to some but for me it completes the back end nicely without breaking the bank. Hopefully should the funds recover I will get a proper system but for now it will do.

I used a magic eraser on my steering wheel to get rid of the shine!

Looks good! Notice any difference in the feel?

New cabin filter, brand new set of genuine floor mats and I also took out the gear stick surround and carbon wrapped it today - was looking very tired and scruffy.
Was hoping to get the car cleaned and polished today, but the weather is still not quite there yet :(

Yes - feels much nicer! 

[Ripstop]

A long day trip into the country to AKS.
Cam chain and tensioner - Feels like a new engine now  Its soooo quiet....
H&R springs - mine were in a shocking state including 3 damaged ones and I never knew 
Dogbone mounts
Oil sump strainer refresh

But I now I have what feels almost like a new car... I am very happy 

Next booking made for more work in a few months
