Done some standard maintenance bits (again)


Decent wash


Got some sticky rubber to try and make second gear more useable when chasing things on slip roads







Still waiting for my f*cking seats  :fighting: :fighting:
Mid May apparently


But i got something very special yesterday and will get some pics up in a few days.

Hmmm. Can only be new rims..?

EDIT: Correction. RS injectors for a bigger turbo?!

Wish it was the second one  :signLOL:.

I've test fitted one so far but hurt myself so couldn't coat and fit the rest today. Hopefully be able to sort them tomorrow.

Ring looked horrendous for queues and congestion mate, did you go? @dansmith180
On par with the times I've been when it queues around the dotte H straight towards the penultimate gantry corner even when open  :surprised:  :grin:

Doing a few trips this year, hopefully catch you although I'm avoiding the Bank Holidays like the plague haha.

Glad you got your mitts on some OzSTLM's! Nice light'ish wheel, can't go wrong with track focused multispokes on Steel Grey.
My story about ST's is I fitted a 15" set to my Fiat Punto (first car) back in 2004, the front left of which promptly divorced me and the car at 52mph on the A605  :laugh: :grin: .... which turned out to be wrong bolt type #liveandlearn  :signLOL: Was my first ever 999 call  :rolleye:

Love those wheels! Have been looking at OZ LM's but wasn't sure until seeing them on your GTI makes me convinced to add them to my wish list!

Out of curiosity do they take taper bolts than the standard radius bolts on our VWs?

Great update! Love the wheels! They look awesome on your car! One of the best looking GTI that I know of and keeps the black lower plastic spoilers and side skirts.  :congrats:
