Happy days, what colour and H2D

H2D?

It's anthracite grey?...hoping to get some pics up but need x15 posts.

Wheels have been reconditioned and are now gloss black. Just done a few miles in it since getting it this afternoon.

Traded in my Passat for this and I've been excited all day LOL.

Had to go in to work today and set off a little too early so decided to see what MPG I could get out of the motor on a run in, mixture of 30, 40 and 60 roads, didn't think I'd ever see figures that high lol, it was actually at 38.7 as I pulled into the car park!

Just had it lowered. Dropped all the way with the helper springs still on so the front sits nicely above the tyre. Backs a bit lowered than I wanted as it seems to sit lower at the back. The garage closed at 1pm (was there until 3.30pm) so couldn't get it raised then.

However when they were going for the passenger side strut the wiper blade bolt at the bottom snapped off, so without a passenger wiper until that gets fixed. Apparently unless they can get a specific part, it's going to cost £90... awesome.

No it's still in standard guise fella (for now at least ;)) had the run been another mile or two I reckon I would have cracked 40MPG.

The one thing I have noticed about this car compared to the old Mk4 Ibiza is that it still rides very smoothly in 5th just pootling around at 30mph, my Mk4 Ibiza wouldn't have been too pleased with that lol

snapped off my arse, did you see it happen? The passenger side is a left handed thread, they will have broke it off coz there daft, I wouldn't be paying fook all!
