Don't buy cheap ones! If it helps, I'm running 8mm front and 12mm rear H&Rs.

I had to use at least 8mm to clear my 6pot and have had nothing but grief, snapped spacers and vibration through wheel. What ones are you using?

Eek, what brand were they? I've not had any problems (yet) with the H&Rs. Luckily I had them as well cause the brembos were close on 19" wheels.

The ones i run are on my mk3.5 focus st but im sure same applies to vag range also aslong as they have a lip for the centre bore of the wheel to sit on to avoid stressing the bearing and studs?

Might be wrong

They were ones off ebay think £120. I was thinking about trying H&R ones since can get them at a good price from euro.

I'm yet to pick it up so I don't know if they changed them or not.

I bet they let it go through as they are a pain in the ass to change back haha

You have a green light! They didn't even mention it lol do we know what fogs to order yet?

Pretty sure it's 9006 hb4. Just looking for some on eBay. But got a weekend backlog of glass cleaning. Oil n filter change (if the filter ever arrives) and I picked up a cheap nextbase 512gw with hard wiring kit (hope my multimeter battery hasn't gone flat).
