I had the wheels refurbed a month ago. I had the inserts re-instated so now the car is back to its original state.  It's looking really good.

Looks great.  I've had my MK5 since new (over 7 years)  and it's still tight as a drum.  I just wish the front arch wasn't bloody rusting. :scared:
Good to see they still get good reviews.

I agree ^


Must have taken you for a bit of a mug

I'd have wanted my fuel covered + a full tank plus £300 for tyres for them to rag it sh*tless around a track.

Who said anything about being trashed or a track. The car was well looked after nothing I wouldn't do. And it was driven on the road.
Tbh the fuel or expenses don't really bother me.

Nice one bud , wouldn't have bothered me if JP was ragging my car as long it wasn't getting abused. At the end of the day cars are meant for driving.   :driver::happy2:

Congrats getting your car on TV! I havent managed to watch it, as all those download sites seemed to want me to install exe files and/or provide card details!

To those saying they wouldn't let someone else drive their car like that....unless you've had your car from new there's a good chance it already has been!

I'd like to watch it but the file downloads are suspicious, to say the least.  The website looks professional, but says "intergrated" instead of integrated.  Didn't they give you a DVD you can post on YouTube?
