Cheers dude! Glad I pulled the trigger on the colour choice! And the tyres seem to be awesome in the little amount of dry weather we've had!
Also fixed a little niggle that had been driving me crazy!!
My gearstick had lots of side to side movement when in gear, more so in 2,4,6 than 1,3,5 but bad all round!
Traced it back to a little plastic bush that fits into the side-side selected mount on top of the box that was missing? Literally just pushes onto it below where the gear cable goes. £5 later from VW. And all sorted, back to precise gear changes!
