Put my car back to its normal state after being in 'explorer mode' for our recent trip to the highlands. Quite like how it looked with the rack and bikes on!

Stripped off the front end for some work...
Applying my carbon fibre splitter to the bumper which went very well, looks superb.
Sanding down the fucked headlights which didn't go so well, they now look even worse

Yeah used one of those before, managed to burn it a bit... I don't think headlight restores are my thing. At least getting the bumper on was a lot easier than getting it off. Now just to scrape it getting it off the drive

you know, a lot of my friends have t4's, and allegedly my ex vw mechanic mate says mine is a rare non leaking oil version. i still check the oil every 1000 mile like ive done in every vehicle. its needed 0.5 litres in 12,000 mile. for a diesel, i think thats pretty good.
