thats good, just got a little scared! got them from www.camskill.co.uk at 98 quid a tyre including delivery! thankyou for the reassurance

A load index of 83 is recommended for the tyres by VW, so you'll be fine. I've got Michelin PS3's on mine as well - rate them highly. Well worth the extra cost over some other brands IMO.

my mind is now at peace getting them fitted this week hopfully! then while im away on me jollys im getting my alloys refurbed so there will be updated pics soon

+1 on the Michelin PS3s. They're around £120 fully fitted at Black Circles. Plus you get Tesco Clubcard points (!).

very very happy with the ps3's best tyre ive had for a while! Not too sure on what the nexts mods are, had the alloys refurbed so ill get some fresh pics up soon! Here is one to be on with though

Yesterday, i purchased a set of H&R lowering springs! Will be here next week. This is all thanks to morells! Cant wait to get them and get them fitted, will update with pics once they are on!

Looking great i think! had a good service and mot while i had the springs fitted, it flew through the mot! first car ive had that has done this! proper happy

how much is this lowered by?

35mm all round on the h&r springs, its looks better in person though, it sits really well on these

got this through the post yesterday! start of my induction, just need to wait and order the filter and a filter for the secondary air intake hose

You can just remove all the secondary air system, it makes the engine bay look better and easier to work on

do i just blank the holes off?

Yeah, you can buy a forge blanking plate for the side of the engine and you have to cover up the hole in the side of your air box, but your getting rid of yours so that one doesnt matter.
This should give you a good enough guide, although all you do it take all the stuff of your engine and blank the hold up...

looks an awful lot of work! might just stick a filter in the end of the pipe haha

It looks easy enough, its just a few hours work of taking things off
