not really any tricks to it just a good heave-ho! spraying them with wd40 may help too.

where did you get the manifold from?

mine are better than the standard setup but again i am using mintex 1144 pads which are fast road/light track and the genuine g60 discs. if you are doing the upgrade the genuine pads were tested better than most aftermarket brands like ebc greenstuff, ferodo etc. the genuine disc and pad combo is ...

if its not the factory fitted immobiliser/alarm then the best bet is to get it removed or at least checked out by a specialist in your area.

i used to work in car audio and we used to use these products all day long. if you give them a call they should have the bits you need. there are a few variations of the vw fascia and they dont always say they are for your car but the specs are on the website but they know ...

JDub6n2: the headlights are on my mates tdi as of last night bud.

Ian_R: i'll find out bud. dont think they are open today tho.

ive got a pair of vr6 calipers spare which im pretty sure are the same as the gti items. i bought them for the carriers to do the 280mm upgrade on mine so the calipers are spare. they came with band new looking pagid pads in too if they are any use?
there is a gti in my local scrappy i can find out ...

not found out yet but theres a specialist near me who can do it apparently. when i find out ill let you know. mines been like it about 18 months now so they must take a while to go!

the click sound when you turn it on is the clutch in the aircon pump engaging, which is nothing to worry about. as for the winding sound, if it comes and goes its probably the fan cutting in and out to control the heat of the aircon pipes. mine makes a squealing noise shortly after startup but only ...

£40 plus postage.

just seeing if anyone would be interested in these. i have made a few now for me and a couple of mates. the grilles are bought brand new from vw, i paint the stripe on and thus a brand new genuine (well sort of) red stripe grille. they also come with the chrome vw badge. if anyone might be ...

i sprayed my grille and after a year it still looks like new after truck washes and all sorts!

i'd go for the eagle f1's. i used the toyos and the f1s which i currently have and i think the toyos dry weather grip is probably better than the f1s but the f1s are more consistant in different weather conditions. the toyos do wear quicker but they are cheaper. i dont think you can really go far ...

the finish isnt really better with a mop its just faster at getting you to that finish. i used a mop with autosol to finish mine and they ended up uber shiny! as for keeping the shine i just autosol them every couple of weeks by hand.

i just masked and sprayed the stripe onto my grille. if your paient enough its worth while doing. mines been done about a year now and its still looking good. it even withstood the lorry detergent at work which takes the signwriting off the doors!
