Not done anything more, apart from some idiot clipping the back bumper! Found him though, he's just paid me for the damage so need to book it in.

Scoot loves detailing like me so all is good and when you get a remap having a black car is good as the black smoke on the back is not so noticeable!:lol:

yeah red is not so good for that! wish i went for black still the back of mine goes the same gun metal grey as my roof and bonnet :lol:

nice car though mate I am tempted half sensible with a dash of mental like it!

Got a new shape fabia as a rental at the moment not bad at all, agree build quality is miles ahead of my mk4

what do you use to de-tar the wheels? was giving my parents range rover a wash and wax yesterday and the wheels seem to really generate lots of tar spots, seems that the alloy wheels are not of very good quality, they have quite a rough texture to them.
