    I washed my R earlier..was going to give its a wax initiation but while I was washing it a small rectangular panel popped out (actually inside) the front driver side bumper (more on the side)... < -- that..so the wax shall wait.

    I also noticed my car has 'pink eye'. The left headlight has pinkish Redish tint to it. I'm pretty sure I would have noticed it earlier, had it been this way since I purchased it. Anyone else experience this?

    Means your headlight is going out and needs to be replaced. May be covered under warranty.

    If he's still under warranty it's covered. Mine turned purple and in less than 24 hours it went out completely. Thank goodness it was covered under warranty!

    Drove it the rain (1st time in over two months)
    I've had the GF's IS for the past week since she out of town on business trip. So I gave it some love and waxed it for her. If it wasn't for me it would never get done, her last car had the paint peeling off it.

    Took off the front emblem and blackened it with a 4.99 can similar to plasti-dip. Contemplating doing the same to the rear...just want to examine the rear a bit more to see if I'll ruin the mechanism...might look into doing it very lightly first while covering the coat with plastic and tape.

    Probably start a build thread once I get the rear windows tinted.

    Looked at it (it's filthy) and wished it would stop raining every other day so I could wash it. I hate having a dirty car.

    I really like it. Can fell the low end torque on it. The shifts are definitely smoother and revving to 7200 rpm is neat. Did a bit of driving today so just got a glimpse of it.

    I am itching for some more power now, wanting to turbo the car bad but i have always wanted to, but now more than ever

    It was a P0068; something to do with the MAF. I'll see if I can find some safe cleaner or something in case, but hopefully I won't have to replace it.

    Is your DSG tune "normal" or was a custom one done for your car? just curious which you are using

    Lol not fully sure what plane C is yet. Keep trying to find someone that knows how to do the job. Or get my money back and leave the swirl marks in the glass. This whole thing is turning into a nightmare.
