Thanks Mitch. Got some positive comments from a few which is always nice.
Was the last show of the season for the MK5 so it's going to have 4 months away from them to put up with the winter weather and come back all new next season.  :happy2:


PS, didn't even know there was a carpark for non show cars, though you should have just parked up along side the show ones, no harm in it, and was nice to be grouped up in class specific, first show iv been to which does that.

Which arrogant people? I didn't meet/see any, except for the one Bimmer owner who took about 5 minutes to swagger up and collect his trophy. :smiley:

No real update, but had Del boys tyres off him the other day.
As my one wheel kissed a curb very lightly then I took them up to A1 in Wolverhampton  this morning, who have scored them all so that they match, and removed the scrape completely. Look as good as new now, and the tyres (215/35/18's) make the car look a lot lower, but on the drive home felt no different to the Vredesteins that were taken off, which was a surprise, maybe need to do a longer journey to decide for certain.
Couple of poopty iPhone pics of the new lows, still not quite laying frame, but I think as close as I can get:

Now in winter mode, picked up some CH reps yesterday off 8illy, fitted them last night and this morning.:







Also had Russ come over a couple of weeks ago and he gave it a full winter protection, some extra layers of wax/polish to keep the cold from ruining the paint even more!


Never updated with other purchases, fitted the votex splitter, which I love:



(cheeky woofit looking after the car through the window :grin:)

Noticed that the number plate mod (using magnets) was causing slight scratching as the grille is carbon, and very very shiny. So took off the magnets, and bought some double sided suckers, glued them on using some extra strong epoxy glue, then put some waterproof ductape on to make extra sure that the suckers come away on the right side and don't come away from the plate when removing:

Great idea Al, I need to pull my finger out and whip the front bumper off and do the magnets

I'm going to cover the magnets in soft durable tape from work to help prevent scratching.
