    Probably - sounds like him alright. I meant it more in the sense that it's looks very tired with those orange lenses.

    Happy motoring :D

    Washed mine today and gave it a wipe of a claybar and a polish, shower of rain came along before I had it waxed and I wasn't too keen on doing any more anyway, some other day me thinks.

    Thanks guys, makes me smile everytime I put the boot down:) well worth the extra tax and petrol me thinks. Specially when some douche in a 1.4 skangermobile pulls up beside ya :D


  • Posts: 23,339 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    You got it for a very decent price too, didn't cost you much to trade up, well done :)

    What you could do if you wanted to is get a bottle of turtle wax Wax it Wet, spray the car with water (considering it's still clean) and then you'd at least have that protection until you can dry wax it.


  • Posts: 23,339 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Cheers for that :)
    I'm not at all familiar with valeting products these days, never heard of the wax it wet stuff. Was going to use the Megs spray stuff I was using as a lube with the claybar but just wasn't arsed :o I think I'll get some quite decent polish and wax and probably give it a very good sprucing up over the next 2 or 3 washes :)

    The women in your family do much better than a pair of VW's. Your sisters, what's that? 325i?

    I personally have plans on the bangernomics thread to get something into my driveway.

    Don't mind Plug.:p it looks just fine. :)

    We're all in this psy-op together.🤨



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,035 ✭✭✭✭-Chris-


    Fantastic looking TT, has all the important bits too - so many people skimp on things like the Extended Aluminium, and it's hard to believe a car like this doesn't come with an MFSW as standard. That one looks just right.

    @ Plug: I would have loved to get this one, however the seller seems to think its worth 7,000 more than the one i purchased :rolleyes:

    @ RoverJames: Ya it looks poor enough in red alright! Did he buy from new

    @ Chris: Thanks, i'm loving it!! :D

    @ Conneem: Grey was my number one choice alright. Decided against the modified 2008 TT for sale in galway due to the higher than average miles. What colour is yours?

    @ Berty: Was your A4 monza silver bert?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,875 ✭✭✭Foxhole Norman


    Amazing car Japasca, would love to own one of those in the future, when I'm not a poor 17 year old student :pac:

    Really misses the aluminium pack and it has standard wheels too. Those Turbines that you have were 1,400 euro to spec new ;)

    Missing extended leather too - a silly oversight. The door grab handles and handbrake are really plastic-y without it :(.

    Something about the leather in that car doesn't look right either - not just the sagging in the front, but on the back seats too...

    Yeah, I would spec the extended leather before leather for the seats, the standard half leather half alcantara seat look pretty decent.

    I think it is just the lighting on the back seats:confused:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,035 ✭✭✭✭-Chris-


    Maybe. You can't use the back seats, so they should be mint. Any sagging or ripples would make my antennae perk up.

    It could definitely be a trick of the light though.

    OK, you can't use the rear seats with any dignity :P:D

    I'm 5'7", and if I set the front seat so I was comfortable, I'd barely fit in the rear seat (sitting behind myself). It's possible, but I wouldn't want to spend any extended time there...

    Yeah for any comfort you need to be less than 5'4" in the back. :)
