Hmmm not fitted them before personally

But after fitting them, check how far the top of them stick up, by the top mount...

i've heard about people shutting their bonnet after fitting them, and getting two nice big dents on each side of the bonnet

You gonna get your tracking checked afterwards?

Took my dad and i a whole day to fit mine, with coffee breaks in-between

only thing i would suggest is having a second person help as somethings i could not do on my own without twisting my back in 13 different places.

its a big job and theres no denying it....but when its finished you'll be grinning like a cheshire cat

good luck with it

i've got it down to an art the hardest but is undoing the top caps in the engine bay. vw has a tool for this but i used a mates old school bike crank tool. and make sure you use the can of wax oil that should have come with your coilys as mine rusted shut after 6 months
