30/12/2011 - DIY and Photoshoot with Miles and Rex


Met up with two VWG forum members Rex and Miles. Rex had purchased my old S2TPP silver paddles from me and I had said I could give him a hand with the install. Miles, always willing to lend a helping hand, came along as well. Having done this a lot of times now myself on both my car and other members cars and with Miles having done a few himself, between us it was a very quick DIY. All in all it took about 15 minutes in total to replace the OEM paddles to the S2TPP's.

Since it was over so quick, we grabbed a quick bite to eat and decided to have a small photo session. My Golf R, Rex's MK6 GTI and Miles' latest aquisition : Suzuki SV650S, which is a 650cc bike, but learner legal! Note : get bike licence ASAP!

A small recap from the night. Photography by Rex Abergas.

Removing the OEM paddles...



...and replacing them with S2TPP goodness. Miles fitting up the new paddles.



Putting everything back together.



Much better. The silver paddles really accentuate the other silver bits and bobs on the GTI.



Never get sick of looking at the rear lights.



Side on profile.



Rex's Tornado Red MK6 GTI. I'd never consider getting a red car but the GTI is one car I would love to have in red. It just pops.



Love the look of Miles' bike in this photo.



It was hard trying to get the position right for this one.



Saved the best for last. My favourite shot of the night.
