Re: UK Lee's GTS build thread :-)

Hi Lee - no posts for a few months, you still driving the GTS? Love what you've done with it. :clap: I recently replaced my old GT with the 2.0 GTS TSI DSG (came without stripes). Looks similar to yours did before you started customising it. Was wondering if you have any tips for cleaning and removi...

Re: Criminal damage

Thanks for the advice on the insurer Essenwood. Didn't realise this. I actually got this sorted the next day but didn't go to insurer as I thought it would affect my no claims. I also haver quite a high excess. Got it fixed at VW garage. I discovered that VW engineers charge about the same as a dece...

Criminal damage

I went to drive to work this morning, but when I looked over to the left wing mirror, it's wasn't there. Some a-hole has yanked it off. And I found it on the pavement on the other side of the road all smashed up. Not a great start to the week :grumpy: :( http://i1217.photobucket.com/albums/dd395/ejj...

Re: Bumper Scuff

You can see on here the repair job VW did on my rear bumper. Can't even see where the scrape was... Unfortunately they said a bracket was broken on the inside and made me buy a brand new bumper. So trying to flog this one now! Can't bring myself to just chuck it out, seems a waste. Do you reckon it ...

Re: Bumper Scuff

LOL that's pretty funny. I'm in France on holiday and saw another Roc with the same issue. Scraped bottom front bumper and one side of the rubber clip hanging down. So seems pretty common.

Re: Windows going half up then straight back down

Exact same thing happens to mine, but sporadically. Only happens on passenger window and is a bit embarrassing when I have passengers as it doesn't give a great impression! Not sure why they'd be resistance one minute and none the next. But will check the things mentioned above. Cheers.

Re: Bumper Scuff

I've scraped under the front bumper going over a speed bump too fast. You can't really see it but just the thought of it being there annoys me! I was thinking of sanding it down myself and spraying it with some reflex silver paint. Presumably this is a bad idea? Upon closer inspection I noticed ther...
