Good stuff, glad you enjoyed it after making the trip. It is a great show and anyone considering it would not regret going. :)

Yeah mate I've applied to get inside, entry closing date was 1st March. So no word back yet, not sure if that's a good thing or not. But if I don't get inside I'll take a run down on the Sunday and just display it outside.
Make sure and say hello if you see me or the car, I'm sure I'll be glad to see a friendly face and a fello MKV owner. :)

Ordered 4 new centre caps for my wheels on Saturday and collected them today.  :laugh:



Had a bit of a job to convince the guy in parts that my car did have Genuine VW alloy wheels and that they were Genuine VW centre caps... Lol think he felt a bit stupid after they came up on his screen after he entered my chassis number...  :ashamed: clearly never heard of a Pirelli GTI then.
I'll fit them this weekend if the weather clears up for 5 minutes.

No no problem at all, got them for £60 for all 4. Not cheap, but I was worried they might have been a lot more. Lol

They are almost to nice to put on the car to get all dirty.  :confused: I think I might get them a good coat or two of wax first.

Yeah crazy money TaylorGTI.  :confused: I need to stay well away from the kerbs!  :happy2:

Picked these up this morning. Bought them to fit during any shows I plan on attending throughout the year. I'll get a picture next weekend of them fitted along with the centre caps.

Bit of a spring clean for the Golf, few new bits added as well.

@Neil@rockvale kindly sorted me out with some dealer style plates.



Started last night and Plasti Dipped the centre lower sections of the front and rear bumpers. I might wrap these, but I'll see how the plasti dip lasts.











Today I tackled into the wheels and arches.




















Exterior wise I think that's it for the Pirelli, I'm happy with how it looks.

Fantastic job Wayne. Wheels are looking awesome. Center caps definitely worth the dollar.
