Glad you liked it. Even a guy at Asda came and had a chat to me about it today as I was loading up the shopping!

Couple of photo's of the little things that I have had trimmed recently:

And then at the End of the weekend I was allowed onto the Stage:



To pick up this:



Second in class, which is an amazing result as the number of MK5's and quality of them blew me away!

Si Sweetland won it. He has the crazily low static Edition 30, with an awesome set of wheels and brakes.

Grande, Cheers for the pic (should really change the plate surround as I don't run with Fifteen52 wheels at the moment)
Need to come introduce yourself at one of the shows, nice to put a face to the car! :happy2:

John, It's nice to get the compliments from you, and glad that you don't look down at it as mine is pretty much all show, where as I know you are a real performance whore when it comes to VW  :signLOL:

Al, I love your car :love:. I sometimes think I'd like to be more "show" too. :happy2:

True, I love the performance side of things, but a nicely stanced car with beautiful bodywork and interior also gets my juices flowing. :jumping:

mall update now that show season is done.

Not much done to the car, as it is all being saved for over the winter.
Went to Westside on Sunday, was determined to go as last year was great, and was sure the weather would hold out.....it didn't.
Wetside still had a good turnout though, and got to show off my new winter wheels/occasional show wheels courtesy of Outlaw (Rich)

Thanks to Chris for the photo:



And came away with another trophy, great way to end the year.



Lots more to come over the winter, including some not often seen mods on the MK5,
Still using the car over winter as a daily and love driving it still.

Also to add that I had the car mapped a couple of months ago at Midland VW, so the motor is now stage 1 and running 249bhp. Feels great, though don't often take advantage of the extra power, just nice to have it there really

Cheers Gazon.
You should have come and said hi. You can see me in the backseat eating a hotdog :popcornsoda:
I was exhausted by this point and it was only around midday then, Didn't leave the show until just before 6pm  :grin:


Also meant to add that the Work VS alloys are in the for sale section now if anyone is interested, part ex considered on most wheels.
