Dolly the Rising Blue R

As some of you may know, my GT got stolen at the beginning of May this year.... sad times.... After much faffery with the insurance people, I managed to get a pay-out, gather enough spends together and buy myself an R!

So in a completely ballsy spending spree, I paid for her and hadn't even seen her! She was delivered from Newcastle a couple of weeks ago; I was totally in love when I heard her coming round the corner.

Here she is arriving on delivery day....

That shiny nose tho....

...the guy is the driver from VW up in Newcastle. I haven't grown stubble and turned into a boy :)

So... it's taken me a while but I'm back with a few more updates; first up were the paddle extensions.

Whilst I wasn't really having much difficulty with the standard paddle knobs, they're clearly not big enough to be called "paddles"!

I looked at a few options and settled on the brushed black finish...

I'm pretty happy with them and they make SUCH a difference to paddle shifting! I use this option more than the stick shift now - it was the other way round before I fitted these [emoji5]️

Next up were the black badges; I was a little unsure of these but they look great now they're on... plus she now matches all her other Scirocco friends!

This time I managed to get her home AND keep her and what's best is that she's even more mean looking now!!

Since she's a girl, I had to make her smell good... ;)

Tried some attempt at a coconut smell by California Scents but it smelled pretty gross. So I binned it and bought these bad boys! (Extra points for being pink)

There's also a big one in the back, for extra smelly punch. They smell like bubblegum and I bloody love them!!

...so much so that I'm now very tempted by pink footwell lights!!
