The headlight protectors scratch your headlight, look out.
The bracket at the top of the light slides about and scratched the top. Get some foam tape and put it on the reverse side to prevent this.

They say it was brand new but I've got no real way of telling as it's only a relay and won't show signs of wear.

Just measured definitely 60mm. Apparently the passat has 60mm centres so going to hold out for actual clip ins and not gel stickers. As I now know they exsist

wow having bigger rims and lower profile tyres doesn't half make you drive different, ive always driven slow but i keep looking at my speedo and im doing like 20mph sometimes just under ha ha im swerving around dips and practically stopping for speed bumps, for fear of the dreaded scrape noise although its only scraping on the arch lining, took them to my local garage to ask about the bearing, and everyone was impressed at the fit stance and how much they suit the car, and at how much they transformed the look my car
im more than freeman... joke, im more than happy withh them and i know know exactly what direction im heading my car in so expect quite frequent updates,
now... bring me that horizon
