What did you and your MKV do today?

Brand new Hankook V12 Evo tyres fitted today after buying them this week

Looks like its going to be an expensive time coming up though as the rear wheel bearings are goosed and this alarm gremlin needs fixing

Fitted some rear pads as the old ones had done 70k

I dropped the car off at the body shop for a little bit of a touch up. Front bumper has fracture cracks, one of the side skirts has un-bonded after 7 years and the main reason its going in was when recently detailing I went thru a section of paint from a previous repair. :(

As I'm doing my front disks and pads I thought I'd remove my arch liners and give them a quick once over.

This is what I found!

I'd kinda guessed it wouldn't be pretty but I never thought of find a mini eco-system under there.

Also my 4 month old Joms don't seem to have coped with the winter very well either...

Wondering if a good coating of plasti-dip when installed originally might have protected a bit more for ya???

My mk5 has gone on its holidays to the uk at the hands of my sister because her 170 is a piece of sh*t! :)

Poor gti. :(

We took a trip to Costco today and bought some new shoes for the golfs...

£403.16 for 4 Michelin PS3's including fitting, +£50 fuel gift card (by redemption).

The parking spaces are nice and spacious which is good.

They clearly needed something!

Everything on my 7 year old car is shiny and new looking (my missus thinks I love the car more than her!)... apart from the nearly new suspension!
