Andrew....they look the business. Bloody brilliant mate.

I like the Personalised Plates......"F*cking Great"

Not personalised Steve, the dealers here haves boxes of new no. plates and I picked them out a few weeks before my car arrived.Cheers, Andrew

Julia took the Golf to Solitaire Mile End to have the genuine LHS lever WITH the cruise control fitted.

The work was not performed by Solitaire, but done there in case things went wrong (steering wheel removed, airbag deactivated). Took about 2 & 3/4 hours, so I'm glad I didn't pay for it.

Thumbs up once again to Solitaire (Kate & Andrew L.) for doing something they were not obliged to do (at their expense).

Looking forward to giving it a run on the open road & trying it out, now that it looks the real deal.

Painted the massive chrome VW badge on my grill.
Its satin black now and looks so much better.

Of all the Volkswagens I have owned, I have NEVER painted the VW logo black.

However, if I owned a holden or ford.......

Ha Maris!!! Rental unit mate and pretty cheap. Got the greatest views over the bridge and river too.
Had the chance to get over to the VOVW courtesy of Kerren A as well but I have a hell of a lot on my plate at present. Would have been good to have caught up with you there mate, and to see how clean you can get a Mk5 too!!!
Cheers, Andrew

In all that mumbo jumbo are you saying you are not coming over to Melb for DOVW?

Can't believe that it is not a tax write off (as is the rental)!!

By the way.....the Mk V is the CLEANEST VW I have bought. It's not going to be too much effort to bring it up a little better

I look like buying a white carbra from Robcos to go over. Just to make it easier.

Maris

PS.....Mine may not always be the cleanest, but I'll make it HARD for you to win the class!!

pics? hehe

I knew someone would ask for pics but my lazyness said I'll wait till someone asks.
I'll get a pic tonight and put it up.

There must be a few people that have though as you can now buy the black badge from TM Tuning for US$55

IMO it looks heaps better.
