What did you and your MKV do today?

[Tfsi_Mike]

Acquired a creaking noise from o/s/f since hitting a bump on the god damn w4nk uk roads.  Brill.

On the topic been caught out a second time not being near a tesco or shell.
So annoyed.  Nearly every garage in Germany has 98 as standard super and 100 and 102 as super plus.

Gave her a valet yesterday Gleeming

how pointless was that its tipping down and cant see the benefits!

[Mk5 GTian]

Have found out that my 'Laser Blue' Mk5 GTi is not Laser blue, but Shadow blue!

Garage sold it as Laser blue, but a few of you have pointed out in my photos that it looks a little dark, so I checked the paintcode on the web, and, hey presto,it's shadow blue.

Oh well, I love this colour, whatever it's called!

[Tfsi_Mike]

Had an MOT and went to DVLA to get a V5 after moving back to England, DVLA Office in Sheffield have gone on strike cause their office is closing next year. 

[Kregiel]

got full milltek exhaust, arb, forge twintake, forge intercooler, tarox 345 10 pots brakes and walk fitted today

first impressions what the hell is this noise?? - ha it's forge twintake....
brakes not bedded in yet and feel similar to standard gti brakes but expect them to be brilliant once bedded - did anybody have the same impressions regarding fitting big brake kit from AP, VW racing etc???

what impresses me most is though is walk and arb, car feels so planted and hardly any body roll in turns also rare wheel spin in this sh*tty weather...

generally very happy although still running stage 1 with all this gear, this will change at the weekend once I visit my local tuner for stage 2+

was hoping to have billsteins b12 fitted today but did not arrive from Germany so this is still on my to do list, hopefully this year

also fitted ths engine mounts at the weekend and bushes and very happy with those... some sweet noise and very little jerkiness...

Changed front arms and all bushes...... took 6 hours, when it should have taken just over 1 including realigning the car. Why did it take so long? One of the M10 console bolts didn't want to undo, which I concluded was only going to be a one-way journey... so I sheered the head off and dealt with the aftermath.

So anyone thinking about removing their car's console bushes - be warned it might be a bigger job than you first expect.

Wheel off, R clip out, damn I don't have a decent punch to remove pad retaining pin, R clip back on, wheel back on, off to Halfords.

Buy punch, starts to rain.  Fail 

[Mackie1]

New R32 rear end and full Milltek fitted yesterday. Neuspeed power pulley kit and ECS oil filter housing fitted whilst getting my timing belt and water pump done on Thursday. Busy (and bloody expensive) week! 

[JoeDarKa]

Found that my splitter is properly peppered from all the grit and also got a huge stone chip on my front wing 

[Tfsi_Mike]

Covered my front and rear screen with frost protection

[boxxer1973]

[sundance]

Covered my front and rear screen with frost protection

Was this Rain-X Weatherbeater 2in1 or something else?
