Black grill fitted.


This is the first time i have used a rattle can in 20+ years and i'm impressed with the results. The finish is not as gloss as i was hoping but it still better than i thought it would be  :smiley:

Gave the Golf a full service, the cabin filter was horrendous and looked like it hadn't been changed in a couple of years!

Also got round to fitting some Interior foot well and Maps reading LEDs i have had knocking round for a while.

Pirelli P-Zero tyres on the front had worn down to 2mm so replaced with Goodyear F1 Asymmetric, at circa £95 each i am absolutely amazed how great they feel.

Also fitted a boot pop kit which took 20 minutes to fit and a further hour to adjust the bump stops to actually get the boot to pop. fours "notches" seems to work  :smiley:

Not really had the time or inclination to work on the Golf so spent a couple of hours today doing some stuff i have been meaning to do for a while.

Quick gearbox oil change. After 75k miles/7 years the oil was think, black and STANK!  :sick:


Also sorted out a couple of squeaks round the back seat area and gave the boot a clean out.

Hoping to spend some time on the Golf over the next couple of weeks but we'll see what happens  :smiley:

Yep. bought the bits ages ago and clean forgot i had them. Only took about an hour for both sides including coding :)

Not seen the boot pop springs - having a wee look now.

Hmm. See what you mean. If you get the Skoda/Seat/VW boot pop kit i can fit and code for you. It shouldn't take more than 30 minutes :)
