For sale on facebook a while ago. Unsure if still up

The flaky paint doesn?t really phase me. I drive from the inside and the experience is worth more than looking pretty

So after 5 months of no WOF, both sets of wheels are refurbed and the cert is booked for mid next month. Damn I miss driving this thing. Once cert all done the flaky paint will finally get some love  :laugh:

I guess now it has wheels and low it's finally considered a build  :-X

Stunning 👍

Thanks both

So the day finally came on Thursday last week. All certed and legal again. Thankfully flew through with no issues

Actually liking the Advans more than the BBS so will run on these most of the time I think

A friendly paint shop that will likely never want to see another red mk5 again after this one

The temptation was real for a colour change but a red engine bay with a different exterior would have annoyed me too much

Epic. Love it on the LM?s. I used to hate red cars but I think it?s now one of if not my fave colours for a GTI
