Re: Big brake upgrade

Bolted straight on, look well and stop well. You'll need a bleed kit and a mate to help out but it's an easy enough job.

Re: Polo 9n3 GTI Headlight bulbs

With great power comes great responsibility You can fit higher powered bulbs so long as you do it right, best to fit them with the lights pointed at a wall or something so you can see the light pattern and compare before and after. I know a lot of people hate them but I have a set of HIDs fitted, th...

Re: Big brake upgrade

I just received that exact ebay buy today in the post. Have a few things to do to the car but am going to look at fitting them tomorrow. The one thing I'm unsure about is whether the standard brake line will screw straight into the new calipers. And I hope the standard 16" wheels fit over them ...

Re: K&N Induction Kit

Ended up sticking a K&N cone in. Had it straight on the MAF to start with and it sounded clesss, but put a 90deg bend in it there today to put it into the original air box so it gets a cold air feed, not as much oooossht though.

Re: Replacement Headlight 9n3 gti

That's a top idea. I've ended up just buying a new unit, pricy but do a proper job. Might remove the bulbs that did the damage, not worth happening again. 130W rally bulbs, would cook your dinner. Get some honeycombs in at the same time sure :)
And thanks for the advice.

If its at all possible, I take it they need an adapter but are there any aftermarket ones? I could try and get a set of adapters made in work.. They need new disc...

Replacement Headlight 9n3 gti

Anyone here replaced a headlight before? Replica or genuine? I had a very bad day... Thought I would clear out some condensation that had built up in the headlight by leaving them on in the drive while washing it, thought putting the towel over it would help it warm up on a cold evening... it melted...

K&N Induction Kit

Hi guys, I was about to buy one of these but wanted to see if anyone here had fitted one before or if there are better fliters out there for the job?

Any help appreciated.
