Need help with a part number..

Re: Compatible?


My previous car - a 6c Polo GTI with manual gearbox - had the Sport select button which was part of the optional Sports Performance pack. When the Sport button was pressed, you got;

I don't have the sport button and It's also a manual, I was under the impression the manuals didn't have the sport option, is this correct?

I found a listing for some Blistein B8's on AwesomeGTI listed for £211.68 each (Part No: BIL-35-168577)
