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 £14 you can't argue, very good :wink:

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 :D

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
