For the high flow valve kit? They are about £200-£250 somewhere around that price. Got mine from awesome GTi

I would tell you the colour code, unfortunately this is not easy to read.

Ran out of time today, only got 3 corners done. I've set the coil-overs high for the bedding in period (500) miles or so before the drop.

Firstly, some broken bits....

Took the driver side rear cool out, yup it's knackered!!


Front drivers side top mount was completely shot too



Cheap ratchet spanners don't like being hammered...  Oops



Anyway, on with fitting stuff: passenger rear first, before - looking a bit tired.



After: repainted caliper, undersealed everything, fitted spring and shock.



Wheel fitted - Looking a bit jacked up:



Old Vs New

Th Bola's are a nice looking wheel, A friend had them on his K1.  Will be interested to see what they look like fully on a Black MK5..

What you doing with the other wheels?  :wink:

Weather permitting I'll get it finished tomorrow.
Will be selling off the old wheels, they are scuffed and some paint is coming off
