Spent the day cleaning it yesterday....Jet washed, snow foamed, quick wash, clayed, re-washed and then it started to rain just before I was about to wax it  :sad1:

Looks stunning that, what wax/glaze are you using on that? Looks gleaming in the pics,

Defo the best colour

Are you running 225/40 tyres like standard all round with the 20mm spacer on the back? Does it rub much?

Looks very well!

Yeah standard tyre size all round with a 20mm spacer on the rear....with a full car it does scrub when you hit a big bump or dip in the road so have to take it easy but I rarely have people in the back at all so nothing to worry about :)

Little update, finally got the front brakes fitted - Mk6 Golf R calipers painted BBS Gold, EBC Red Stuff Pads, Ultimax grooved discs, HEL Braided Lines and bled with Blue race fluid.

Pedal now feels a lot firmer and braking is a lot better but I did take it for a slight spirited drive late last night and they were very good but I did get some brake fade still which I am a bit concerned about as I wasn't really pushing the car and still got some fade - any recommendations to help improve this?

Pics :)
