be careful the request for info links have setoff my antivirus software(NOD32) and google chromes warning filter

Strange.. I've got NOD32 but no alarms went off?  I don't use Google Chrome because its a trojan horse sending info of all your online activity back to Google HQ - otherwise I'd use it.

....Just send them the info that you are about to wrap your private parts in black vinyl! The Americans are generally such prudes.

in which case I wont ever be accepting a lift  :signLOL:


....I occasionally give hitch-hikers lifts - It's always a split-second decision and I used to hitch rides a lot myself. The other day I gave a couple with trade plates a lift from Taunton to Gloucester. They were a husband and wife team who deliver new-ish cars (still in warranty) to a specialist dealer in Cornwall (Skyline was his favourite). His wife sat in the back, so it wouldn't have been a cool message! Really nice people they were.

I have been thinking about getting some airbrush artwork on mine, but my imagination has been letting me down and cant think of a design i like that would also suit the interior of the car.  :rolleye:


....Leave it to us lot - We're bound to come up with all sorts of 'appropriate' designs! :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin:

....Are you trying to say I'm a lonely saddo who never has passengers? :wink: :laugh:

No, I'm going to wait and see what I think when they're in and was just musing [I'm just a lonely saddo who has nothing better to do]. Like you, I might love the glossy backs.

Where's Hurdy? I just know what he'll suggest!

I've got Avast and Firefox, and avast threw up a "blocked access to gogo2me.net" or something similar when I clicked on the same thing.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

....Is that carbon-pattern vinyl wrapping?

Now that would either look very cool or absolutely naff, I reckon.

That is what I'd do if I had them :happy2:

The carbon wrap looks very good in the fleash and not like the black and silver squares that Foliatec et al make. I'd be suprised if anyone could tell the difference without really examining the edges. :jumping:
