Well, finally picked her up on Fri 8th May from Poole. :-D

Really pleased and loving everything about the car!

Understandably, money is gonna be a little tight for a while but may look at some plans in the future.

I haven't had the chance to take too many photo's as yet but will give her a real good clean soon and take some.

I popped along to a MK2 Golf show at Great Billing on Sunday to meet up with my boyf and quite a few people were taking photos, so here are some!

Nightmare to stay clean....I gave her a good clean yesterday and the white is blinding when the suns out :-D 8-)

It has rained right through the night and most of the day so far so I daren't take her anywhere until the roads are dry again. she's been cleaned 3 times in 7 days already!

Quite an upgrade, did the accident not affect your insurance too much?

I'll be happy when it's lowered. :D

Just like mine,great little cars. :grin:

The accident wasn't my fault, so no it didn't affect my policy. I had to initially cough up the £350 excess but that has been recovered from the 3rd party now - so all good!

My current policy doesn't run out for another 5/6 weeks so i've just swapped this car onto it. The remaining balance obviously went up a bit but i'll search around for cheaper when I renew. Prices I have searched for so far have only gone up by around £50 a year (from around £350 to £400 ish) which is a lot lower than i thought!

Spent 6/7 hours cleaning her yesterday. Used autoglym shampoo (twice), thorough wheel wash, chamois dried. Then used Megs clay block and Megs quick detail over the entire car which took a lot of time and elbow grease! After that, Megs wax for a nice finish.

The difference in paint smoothness is really impressive from using the clay and she's gleaming. Pretty blinding in the sunlight too! 8-)

Got the reg-plate holders on as a nice little touch using extra-strong velcro....they aint going anywhere!! The stubby aerial is in the post from US so shouldn't be much longer.

That's probably going to be it for spending for a little while. :-( But I will get saving up again towards the end of show season for some coilies next year and possibly a set of wheels :-D

Thanks for all your comments as always! x

Love the car mate :)
