mine went this week 2day buddy!!! Pain in the ass when the gearbox is shot. Was ready for a new remaped ECU chip this week!!! ah well.

I've got a Mk4 GLX! Gonna be around £500 for gearbox + fitting. :( You can go down the scrappy route if you wish. Just make sure you have the gearbox code ready! I'm using Central Audi + VW in Birmingham. Dropping my car round tomorrow!

that's the freshest red paintwork on a 6n i've seen before. nice

:-D yer they go lower mate, have about an inch of thread on the front and a bit more on the rear i think.

problem is scrubbage, one arch has crumbled inside and is very sharp so cuts my tyre tread :'(

needs attention however my drive isnt suitable for jacking or using stands so have to do it in my mates garage and his mini is having an engine translplant atm so cant get in there!

i also got pulled by the fuzz on saturday and told my wheels were illegal and if i didnt get them inside the arch the local bobby would

"throw the book at me" which was oh so pleasant of him.
