You should've!
Was a good turn out, think someone counted over 220 cars! Lol
Not sure when the next big 1 is tho, you on swdubs? There's usually posts on there.
I know there's another meet in Exeter sometime in feb but not sure exactly when.

Yeh I'm planning on goin in feb as 2day was my first meet so hoping to go to more local meets to get to know more ppl.
This 1 is arranged on fb I think search for a group called Exeter dub meets, he's recently posted a date for feb meet.
I think it's last Sunday of each month for the Exeter meet.

Car looks great mate
Dont pay too much attention to the service reminders mate, I think they are pre-set every 10K miles so sometimes if you have just serviced the car they will pop up.
You just need to reset the reminder when it comes up, same applies for the Oil service reminder although obviously if the Oil light comes on then its not to be ignored.

Well there all on nice n snug except for the brake pedal, why is the polo gti brake pedal bigger than the golf R32 brake pedal? :-/ it's on but as you can see in the pic the side isn't wrapped around as it should be and the lug in the middle wouldn't go all the way in :-/
Maybe a slight mod is in order
