Yeah that's a pretty nasty bill for something totally out of your control............but hey, nobody got hurt mate so that's always a plus.

I put mine in the garage yesterday evening so I don't have to see how dirty it is.
Will stay there until Monday morning.

Looks good, is it easy to get back off?

You need to hide your plate better...I can still see it lol
Incredibly easy! It's just rubber paint, so peels off like one big sticker. Or you could use a pressure washer and a tar remover left to soak on the dip

Parked mine sideways in a ditch/bush after some slightly too enthusiastic cornering on my first run around some nice Scottish B roads. No damage to me or the car thankfully and managed to park slightly better for this photo a while later.

Helped out a few members recently with some VCDS mods, both cars were sepang with lunar - I had some serious colour envy after seeing the interior in the flesh but it was a no go for me with my 4 y/o.

Changed my front discs and pads for EBC USR 312mm discs and Red Stuff pads, hope that will cut out the brake dust everywhere.

Am looking to replace front discs soon too, what are your thoughts on those? Are they larger than stock ones?
Nope they are just replacements. I've only done 20km on them so far but they grab better than oe and I just hope they don't dust as much.
