thanks AJP and MC71 i brought some genuine vw ones from eBay. went for black as don't think they look too bad better than my standard bolts! does any one know what torque they have to be? cheers
Can't tell you how much they should be torqued up. I've always done mine by feel. Probably not ideal but I've never had problems...!
Just a bit of advice regarding locking bolts - make sure you don't overtighten them. There's loads of accounts of people saying certain brands are crap, but in most cases they've been overtightened and get damaged when they need too much force to shift.
