I managed to curb one of my previously spotless Ultraleggeras today...  :sad1: It's only minor curb rash, can hardly see it from 1 meter away, but that makes it all the more annoying because I know it is there.. My friends don't understand me with these kind of issues, so I thought maybe the people here can relate to my feelings lol.

Feel your pain brother  :sad1:

Long-ish drive today reminded me why I like this car, it just does everything so well. Equipment, practicality and performance are spot on. Treated it to a wash when I got home  :smiley:

Cleaned the interior finally as it was vile. Black holed and polished the backs of my seats too.

Going to try the gliptone (spelling?) leather cleaner

Centre ring on piston 3 has seized allowing oil passed. Had a faulty injector in that cylinder last year, was over fuelling. They think maybe that has contributed to the seized ring.

Have had a few bits done over the last few weeks

New OEM Bluetooth kit ( thanks to Nutey for sale and help with sale and install), just need to complete mic part of install.

2 x ps3's put on yesterday

Wheels refurbed today with new centre caps installed at the same time, happy with the outcome

Red GTI badge arrived today so need to stick that on and seat inserts on way

Wheels look good - where did you get them done in the end and what colour did you go for?

Hi mate

I went to scuff and scratch in MK, real good guys and great value

The colour is called deutch silver, was apprehensive at first about going lighter than the OEM colour but I think they turned out well
