Cheers for the comments folks. The wheels are slightly hit or miss, and even I am unsure on them. I am tempted to sell them as I have my eye on something else.

Afraid I dont - but got them off Ebay (genuine of course) for cheaper than what the dealer could do for me!

Bought some folding mirrors and puddle lights.

Fitted some folding mirrors and puddle lights (with smoked inpro indicators).



Made a video of some folding mirrors and puddle lights.

So some more updates.

Car went in for it's MOT yesterday. Failed on a CV boot, which was fitted by Lovett tonight and it gets retested tomorrow, so happy days.

The air bag light has been intermittent, which ended up being the plug that connects the airbag from the seat back to the seat base, before it runs into the plug on the floor. I ended up cutting out the plug and soldering the cables together, heatshrinked each one and then wrapped it in loom tape.

Also played on Vagcom and got the US lights on the headlights:



And also got a set of Audi TT 10 spokes. Stats are 18x9 et50ish. I think they would look great with a set of big orange Porsche brakes underneath. Trial fitted them tonight (its great having an airgun) and the rears are perfect, fronts need 5mm spacers to clear the strut.









As always, share your thoughts :)
