Anybody know what size centre caps I need for these cups?
I got some off ebay but was the wrong size.
Or does anybody know where I can get some from, blank ones would do for now like.

Cheers, Dan

Going to pick up my wheel tomorrow, hopefully the huge dent in it has been sorted out. If so then they will be on very soon. Just gotta get a fresh set of tyres and spray them up :)

Got my wheel back today, The guy done an awesome job on it fair play, very pleased :)
I got the tyres off the rest of them and they are currently in the spray shop! Gun metal grey all over :P
As soon as they are done and I've got tyres the coillies will be going on!

Anybody got any 195, 50, 15's for sale?

Depending where abouts you live and how much 'loads' of tread is, I may be fairly interested especially at that price :)
I don't think I can reply to PM, so give me a text 07415857438
Cheers, Seb :D

Actually forget the 195's - Does anyone have any 185, 45, 15's for sale?
I'm looking for a full set, part worns are fine as long as they have good tread.
Need them pretty sharpish. Cheers, Dan

Huge update!

So I finally got my coilies and cups on and I think it looks pretty sweet! 8)
Big thanks to my mates at Millennium Tyres in Abergavenny, anyone in the Monmouthshire area should definitely check them out!

and another one when I got it home:

It had settled a bit by the time I got home, rear wheels were scrapping the arches over some of the bumps and dips on the way back so I put the back up a little bit and evened it out, wont be going any lower as I already scratched my bumper going over the bump outside my house :x

I also got some tyre shine stuff, cant go wrong for £1.75 for a 600ml can :)
Sorry about the picture quality, My camera died so I had to use my phone.

So, tell me what you think guys :D

Nice one mate, I bet you are enjoying the improved handling too 8)
Any 6N2 whether it be a 1.0, TDI or GTI is terrible with the standard shocks & springs which makes either coilovers or a good cup suspension kit essential

So I went to CamperJam on the weekend, Had a wicked time! I would post up some pics, Got some lovely ones from show 'n shine, but its the wrong forum I suppose, unless anybody wants to see some that is :lol:

Anyway, I picked myself up some pressed plates and I just couldn't resist getting the Deutschland sticker on them 8)
Cant wait to get them on!
