Thanks Robin I know in my heart everything you say is spot on!

My other concern is that it has exposed the lower undertray and Im worried that this may come loose on the motorway? Any advice appreciated......................

 :sad1:

You also wanna worry about the mice that have got into your engine bay now and are eating away at your wiring loom! :rolleye:


And the ducks dont forget the ducks.  :signLOL:

Thanks for all the support guys, it means a lot!  :happy2:

I suppose in the scale of life in general this is a minor irritation to most but I really can't describe how my stomach just dropped this morning, a terrible feeling and one I can only liken to having your car stolen!!  :fighting:

The good news is my replacement splitter is now fitted all be it minus my signature red splitter but I'll get that sorted soon enough!

A very stressfull day but just glad its over and my baby is now tucked away and ready for a great day at Inters tomorrow!  :smiley:

Thanks again all for your support!  :grouphug:

Ryan, drop me a PM and I can give you the info you need!  :wink:

Just came home and saw this. Sickening, just plain sickening.
Was this anything to do with that incident when someone was trying to jump over your fence?

First off i would Frisk Stealth
Although I know where he lives, there is no way I would do that to him or to anyone else for that matter. Secondly, I live over 150 miles away!

You guys know what Im like about my car, really don't think I can bring myself to drive it looking like it does!  :sad1:
I remember the first time I scratched my car. I will never forget it nor the sickening feeling in my stomach at the damage. I couldn't even bear to look at the car, it hurt so much. It was altered but at least your car wasn't damaged. It'd be worse if they damaged the whole front.

Some better news!
It's a great feeling when, though something has gone wrong, it can be fixed pretty quickly.

Will keep a look out round Brum when I head back and it'd be worth keeping an eye on ebay. Probably another ED30 driver. If you know someone in VW.... :evilgrin:

I know the feeling you describe exactly, and it really annoys me how people have no respect for other people's property.

I'm glad you've had a speedy fix and they didn't do any more damage.  Be grateful of that, if they had keyed it, imagine the ballache then!

So was it an Ed30 spoiler in black with a red lip?  Its a pretty individual mod so hopefully one of us will spot it somewhere!
