Hi guy... and girls 
Just dropping a quick hello as ive had my 197 for ooooohh 4 days now! Its pretty bloody awesome haha a step up from my 106 GTI anyways
Anyways, names Matt I'm a fabricator for Jag Land Rover prototype cars so i get chop up and make some cool stuff and some boring stuff, but if i told you what id have to kill you, Confidentiality and all that...
So seen a few things on here kinda picking up on the whole induction thing everyone's got different thought if you want power or sound etc,
It wont be long until i have it in a progress threads but I'm just saying hi for now.
my first thoughts are thinking racing blue and anthracite wheels going with orange hints like orange calipers and going to make a custom tow eye to hold an orange TOW strap. then kind go from there... I also realised i was being brave with the whole orange and blue then i remembered its the GULF colours so hoping this may work...
Heres a pic from when i just bought it, not great but more to come in a progress thread.
NOW FOR MY IMPORTANT QUESTION!!!!
when i put my foot down the break sharp WATER sprays from either side of the bonnet by the head lights up the sides of the windscreen???? could this be from the water catch in below the windscreen as braking would cause it to through any caught water forward into the bay and it would spray out the side and up the windscreen? is the any common faults with this sort of thing?
Thanks
Matt
