Gave the car a good wash and polish this past weekend, and she's looking lovely and sparkly now ;)

I do a lot of of motorway driving, and am pretty surprised at how easy the paint chips though - seems to be a very, very thin coat...... Dont worry though, Ive picked up a paint stick from the dealer for when things get really bad ;)

I may look into cruise control, and possibly parking sensors next (will make backing into the garage easier ;) ). Although Im still debating on the sensors though.....

I want to pick up the RNS510 at some point as well (I like to keep OEM!), but I need to clear my debts off first!!!

Sorry guys, Im used to going to golfgtiforum and forgot about this forum even though I registered here quite a while ago!  :ashamed:

Nevertheless, this forum is firmly in my favourites list now  :wink:

As for mods.............
I purchased this car near the beginning of this month (April). The car was first registered in August 2008, and had only 3,500 miles on the clock - so practically new. I have just under 2.5 years of warranty remaining.
I dont want to make any changes that will affect the warranty. Since I need my car to get me to work and back, the longer Im covered by warranty the better!

Therefore, Im assuming I cant make any changes 'under the hood' until my warranty has expired?
If this is so, I may start with a few subtle additions of CF  :wink: Maybe the mirrors and the bonnet......

Not only did I buy this car, but I recently had some work done to my house. I stuck all this expense on a credit card (0% until Jun 2010  :wink: ), so my main priority is to get the card paid off.
Remember I also have 3 other mouths to feed!

Once the card is done, I'll start the mods  :wink:
Im not planning anything just yet, as I'll get impatient and want to just get on with it.
Then again, I also need to keep my distance from you guys - some of the mods Ive seen on your motors are sureeeee tempting.......... :jumping:
