Quickly get your 19s on, I really hate Zolders!  :grin: And wash the beast, then post some more pics  :evilgrin:  :signLOL:

I wish I could ! The tyres on the Zolders are shot and the 19"'s have brand new tyres on but a supplier has poperly let me done on the new wheel bolts this week, they should be here today............... but I've heard that since monday.  :fighting:

Just a quick question about the boot pop, the spring bumper stops, how do you adjust them? Mine are too long :-(

Stick a 3mm allen key in the bump stop and turn counter-clockwise until it stops. You can then compress the adjuster and then do the allen key back up.

Should sort you out, if you have the right stops ?

Brill thanks!!  :happy2: I've the springed ones from a rocco.

agreed from a looks point of view but this is a daily, driven quickly (where possible) and I'm not wincing everytime I hit a bump, I've got my mk2 for that !  So 30mm is as low as it is ever going.

yeah I know, I wanted to get mine with them, I had a deal set up with a guy on R32OC he was trading his car in late Jan and we were going to swap seats and cash his way of course and he would trade it in with the standard seats. He pm'd me yesterday to say he's sold the car privately........ gutted  :sad1:

Nice car. Mine is identical spec without sat-nav (yet) but does have OEM full leather heated Recaros - they are fantastic. They make the back seats completely useless though, they only tilt forward about 2 inches!
Only 250.1bhp - but with that noise, who cares?

Mile-muncher ordered: MkVI 1.6 TDi BlueMotion Match DSG with leather, winter pack, luxury pack, fogs, climate control, Dynaudio pack, RCD510 with DAB & MDI, flat tyre indicator
