Hey mate, got the locking nuts on saturday (ordered them on thursday lunchtime). They are just normal locking nuts, like the kind you find when you buy a new VW and you get them as standard. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if they were straight from the manufactuer of the people who sell the OEM ones to VW!

But for Â£14 you can't argue, very good

Dont get too excited about that. I wouldn't be surprised if they are totally unrelated to the people who make the VW ones! lol

Lol probably, although they seem to be pretty good to be fair. Wanted the Vortex VW ones but my mum had already ordered them before I changed my mind!

Kipper don't look at that third set.

I've bought some similar in the past at they didn't fit.

They were listed to fit the Beetle and Golf 3 IIRC
