    It's no wonder it made cover, saw the car in the flesh (I forget which show now) and it's stunning:thumbup: wish I had the money to get my interior like yours as it's really letting my car down and if only my engine bay looked half as good as that!

    what, you were "surprised" it made cover?!!?now this is not because I know you Si, but that is without a doubt one of THE best engine bays i have ever seen. I've seen it time and time again but every time it's always worth another half hour look, and every time I spot something else and nod and smile appreciatively.

    that said, i always hated those bloody teledials, thank god you've got rid of them ;)

    cheers all, thanks for the comments,

    and yes paul I was, as no one at the golf+ said anything,
    I just got a text off a mate asking if that was mine on the cover hehehe!

    d-white2, yeah the teledials where marmite wheels you either got
    people who loved them or hated them, there where not many people
    in the middle and they never did much for me, but I had them so
    made the best I could. However the new rims I've lined up will
    make the teledials look shocking hehehe.... I promise you.
