John, as I didn't order through a dealer I don't know the part numbers, sorry! I'll see if I can find out for you, or just order from [email protected], cheaper than a dealer anyway!

Well I like them, if you can afford, go for it. Just be prepared to clean them every week. Sorry, but I always look for the downside on everything, it's just my rational.

They look like they have a polished finish, so a regular clean is required.

I e-mailed you back last night Bally!!
Yeh they are nice, but would be better if they were 16"!!
Go for them if they are a decent price and you're not too bothered about 16s :)

But anyway, this has gone off topic.

:D Yep, you did mate, was on my work email, sorry!

Think I may make that mod as it looks a lot more streamlined...nice!

I've been searching for bages and stuff on the web and there appears to be a gap in the market here awesme dont have a big choice and getting a decnt badge for my grill is proving difficult.

Thinking about colour coding my grill, and sorting prices for alloys right now(gonna get VW ones after all! 8)

Josh, I quickly measured my old MK6 blade against me Mums MK5 and it was about 3 inches too long, so be prepared for some cutting. Mind you, It may look better as you'll just have the plastic covering too show off 8)
