What did you and your MK2 do today?

Reversed too far into my parking space, then when I pulled forward I destroyed my new exhaust trim :( :(

Woooo! Gutted for you mate, have to say that is a really weird failure mode.. I'd not have expected the trim to have split like that just from hitting something!

Made it myself from a cheap 12v drill and a 12v 50w halogen.
take the motor and clutch out then wire bulb to the trigger button.
cost less then £20 including £13 for b&q drill.

Scott nice job. Is that black magic paint? I want to machine/DA mine but because its black i wasnt sure untill i saw your pics. What polish and rotary did you use? Also like the swirl light!

took the misses to church this morning and then spent the rest of the day driving around trying to find a new car for her as unfortunately she crashed her on black ice Friday morning :(

trying to get her on a 2006 or new Altea. if you see anything let me know.

as my hunt came back pretty **** in norwich decided to let of some steam by cleaning the car properly

clay bar, Wax Polish and magic black spray polish. also added a new APR Sticker to the car aswell

It's things like this that make me think that there can't be a God.

i know mate. but then again you could argue God put her with me knowing i wouldnt let her drive around in a piece-o-**** 106 and bought her a Cit c3 with ever safety feature. which all deployed when it left the dual carrage way on its side.

im by no means in anyway religious either.

Just got the Osrams fitted last night so haven't tried them in anger yet. A little bit yellow compared to the LED sidelight, but hopefully give out a longer beam than the Ultra Power.
