After a quick clean, a red hot day and an England defeat in the World cup, the Staffs VW meet was a breath of fresh air... and these 3 photos are worth sharing :)

Bit of an update then guys, just had a week off work so thought id get some bits n pieces sorted out :)
I have had an abcess on my leg so walking has been a right bitch, n the work ive had done is stuff that I couldn't really do myself anyways...
First up, with my car due to be detailed by my mate Mike, at Crystal Clear Detailing, I decided to take the car down to his unit in Crewe, and he inspected the paint work, so we knew where we'd stand when he gets the car for paintwork correction.
At the same time I decided to apply my new 10mm spacers to the front, giving enough clearance between the coilover and inner wheel to lower the car to its lowest point. I could then take the car to PSI for 4 wheel alignment, as it was driving shite before!
I also clocked up a pretty cool milage on the way and took a quick snap at the traffic lights ;)
Then, with my wheels aligned, and a practically bald F/N/S tyre, I decided i'd treat the car to some new rubber, and Toyo Proxes were the choice of the day. A bit of ringing around helped me bag 195/40/16's at £60 per tyre including fitting! Winner!
And with all that, she's driving like a dream! (Talk about driving on rails! :O ) She's also looking a little lower, and sits a lot better than before :)
With a couple of dry spots this week, I thought Id clean, protect and seal the fabric roof too, just to prevent it sucking up too much water when it rains in the future. It doesn't have any problems with leaking but I don't want it too have any in the future!
AutoGlym Fabric Hood protector was the product of choice just as an amateur trail and I'm actually really happy with the results! The roof came out a lot blacker than before, with no marks or streaks, and it repels water like a ducks arse!
P.S. all the photos are taken with my 2MP iPhone 3G camera. Roll on June 24th and I'll be taking crystal clear HD photos and videos :D

Service & Mats!
This Bank holiday weekend saw the car get a full service and is now running sweet again :)
Car had;
Oil Filter
Fresh 10w40 Oil
Air Filter
Fuel Filter
Spark Plugs
The scuttle was removed, and cleaned of all the leaves & debris that had built up, and the cabin air intake was cleaned and hoovered too as there isn't a pollen filter to replace :S
Date of Service - 31/03/2010
Milage - 78,337km / 48,676 miles
Just need to get rid of the IN02 dash warning now!
Also got some new mats! Plain black fitted mk3 golf mats, with carpet fixings and the VW logo. P/N: 863 VAG 191 8BJ
Would have ideally had matching colour concept mats, but the only set I can find are £100. P/N for future referance is: 1H2 061 230 EA JAU.
Thanks for looking :P
