Looking good mate. I have a set being sent out on Thursday hopefully so seeing yours gives me a good idea what they will look like. What were they like to change?

Cheers  :happy2:
Nice one, they're definitely worth it  :smiley:
They're fairly easy, the outer ones are easy but its just the inner ones I found a little fiddly, one of the nuts on the inners is a bit of a pain  :sad1:

Cheers

I had a quick look at this guide http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,3147.0.html  :happy2:
It took me longer than a few mins as it was about 2c when I did mine and my hands were freeeeeeezing  :grin:

I was looking into getting wheels but a mate of mine has not long ago bought a mk5 R32 and after seeing and hearing it i'm very tempted to get one  :grin: they sound amazing  :party:

Mine goes in for a service next wednesday, so while i'm at the dealership I shall see what they can find R32 wise  :smiley:

Cheers

Its been a while since the last update  :sad1:

I was thinking of getting an R32 but after I looked into how much the tax and running costs were I decided against it, so I'm keeping the TDI for a bit longer  :smiley:

I've now bought a couple of things for the car, so here's a couple of pics,

I went to the Nurburgring last year and saw this but I didn't buy it, so the other day I ordered one from Germany :)


I also bought this for the rear badge,


Next on the list is the wheels, which i've got and shall be on the car very soon  :grin: and then some pressed plates.

Cheers,
Ben

Looking good mate. Always wondered what these would look like on shadow blue. Think it needs some Gti sideskirts now  :happy2:
