Schmik. Congrats. I'm not even offended you picked the same color as me ! You'll get comments on it from non-car nuts all the time. Jealous that they covered yours, and only put a girly bow on mine. Think you need to tint those fronts, though.2017 - Golf R 7.5 - Blue - DSG - Proper Roof - DAP - Res' delete - Dynaudio delete

Lapiz is a great colour. Agree that the fronts need to be tinted.
I wouldn't mind seeing some non Wolfsburg wagons..Comment

Day 2, got some cornering light error. Error went away overnight, but not a great start. Any suggestions on how to remove dealer stickers from the paint, my dealership chucked their name right above the R on the back....Comment

Covering something that looks as good as it does under that lighting shouldn't be covered, it's criminal.Originally posted by SteveMc View PostComment

I specifically instructed my dealer to do nothing beyond removing the protective plastic coatings. No covers, no bows, not even a wash.Originally posted by kennyc View Post
My aim was to take delivery of a car with no extra scratches or swirls inflicted by the dealer, and that's just what I got. This made the initial detailing so much easier and less invasive, and kept the clear coat that much thicker as a result. The dealer's workers were happy, as it was less work for them, so in my view that was a win/win.2017 MY18 Golf R 7.5 Wolfsburg wagon (boring white) delivered 21 Sep 2017, 2008 Octavia vRS wagon 2.0 TFSI 6M (bright yellow), 2006 T5 Transporter van 2.5 TDI 6M (gone but not forgotten).Comment

Sometimes some gentle heat from a heat gun (or hair dryer) or even hot sunlight (readily available at the moment) can help loosen some adhesives (but don't go too hot).Originally posted by generiK View Post2017 MY18 Golf R 7.5 Wolfsburg wagon (boring white) delivered 21 Sep 2017, 2008 Octavia vRS wagon 2.0 TFSI 6M (bright yellow), 2006 T5 Transporter van 2.5 TDI 6M (gone but not forgotten).Comment

As per above, use hair-dryer to apply some gentle heat and soften the adhesive. Then use dental floss to cut thru the softened glue.Originally posted by generiK View Post

Looks mighty nice Brad, I have a cover for mine , heaps of dust from construction in my area, managed to wash and wax and keep it spotless for the past week and took mine out to a friends place for dinner... I was beaming with pride while he noticed and commented how nice the car looked. Black would have been awesome but my OCD would not be able to cope. Have fun on your cruise, hope you run her in good and proper mate.Originally posted by braddersnz View Post
