you can get the logos on ebay but they are basically cardboard with a vinyl logo on top. they are a bitch to clean because they get pitted with all the dirt.

what is the difference between vcds-lite and vag-com 409.1-s?

is Fat Five the official name of them aswell? I really like the look of them. the ride height doesn't look too bad with them on compared to some wheels but collies would make it look 100% mint

^^^^^^^ there ya go

i wouldn't bother re-gassing it yourself. There is so much that could go wrong. Garges spend thousands of pounds on the proper kit for a reason. AFAIK, R134a is poisonous aswell. I know that the old R132a stuff was which is no longer allowed to be used. The gas is under high pressure aswell so if yo...

it's a mk5 b5.5 (3bg) m8

mine are 1.2mm thick. 5-6 mm sounds a bit thick because you'll have to fight the pipe to get it back on surely?

bulbs, switch or damaged connecot/wiring. I'd put my money on the switch. It'll be bolted on the gearbox somewhere with a plug block on it. they aren't usually very expensive. Dont worry about it for MOT though because they aren't checked and aren't a requirement.

i've just got a court summons for speeding. the thing is, the alleged offence was back in october (not me driving). I sent the reply form back in january after receiving the 2nd NIP (1st one didn't arrive) and have a receipt to prove it was sent. They have summonsed me because they reckon I didn't r...
