  1. The small independants wont touch it because they are worried about damaging the rims. I'm sure it could be plugged, but i can't find anybody who does 'plugs' anymore. If anyone near me has used a garage to fit or repair stretched tyres, then please let me know where. Thanks.
  2. I have a screw in my front tyre which i want to get sorted out but i can't find a garage that will do it locally as the tyre is stretched and the rim is very exposed. Anyone know where i can get it done in my general area?
  3. Hi guys, still have this problem. Gonna strip it down this week end weather permiting, unless anyone can offer advice??? I've noticed that the lock seems to work a bit slower than the others, don't know if that may have something to do with it.
  4. i'm 30 with a clean license and i still pay £650! I used to pay £800 a year for my 300bhp scooby so i think VRs are just expensive in general. When i got my last quote i was told that if mine wasn't a highline it would have been £200 cheaper! sucks!
  5. i'm running 17's and coil overs and find ride quality a bit harsh. however, i am also running stretched tires so thats probably why! B19DRG - if your thinking of selling those wheels then let me know please. :-)
  6. Feel your pain m8! if you wanna sell the schrick then let me know what you want for it. Thanks
  7. Its the guy in the drivers seat that makes the difference imo. The vr engine seems quite lazy but if you get the revs up it will shift. As far as published figures go, i would think that by now (over a decade since they were published) most VRs will vary depending on how they were run in, how well they have been serviced, milage, etc.. even the petrol used in it will effect performance over time so i don't think the figures would be very accurate now. Thats only my opinion though.
  8. Well done m8. its always worth asking!
  9. My m8 had his windscreen put through by a piece of rubble falling off the back of a lorry on the m11. He called the haulage company and they covered all his costs with no questions asked! Would be worth a try if you know the company??
  10. wow... if only i could remember where i put that £16k!!!
  11. yeah. the wheels are calibres. think they're the wrong offset tho as i am running them with spacers otherwise they foul the callipers. cos of that i have to run a stretched tyre too, otherwise they scrub. it the only thing i don't like about the car. would like to get some TT comps but will have to wait till next year now.
  12. Ariel is oem BMW i am lead to believe. The wheels are a replica BBS style but not sure what make, will check through the file for the receipt if u want?
  13. Hi guys, bought this a few weeks back. The guy I got it from has done an exceptional job on it and I can't take any credit for how it looks. It came with a full VW dealer history and a lever arch file 3 inches thick with every receipt, MOT, service report and even the original brochures! I haven't had a VW since '02-'03 ish after venturing away to a couple of audi's and bmw's and an impreza but i'm glad to be back again. The car is pretty mint so i have no plans for it strait away, although i am looking for somw very CHEAP winter/track wheels. Anything considered but must be cheap! Let me know
  14. Thank you. I wasn't sure if it just took a while to update. will check tomo afternoon.
  15. I might check it out m8. can't give a definite yet tho. what time does it all start? do you have any details as hertford heath is only 10 mins from me.
  16. Cool. I'll upload some more pics when i get the membership sorted. I work at the hospital here and my wifes parents live in stansead abbotts so i do head out your way sometimes. Is that modifying place (RPM??) still open on the Ware road?
  17. I have a paypal receipt, but i haven't checked my actual paypal acc. yet.
  18. Hi, i purchased the premium membership and paid via paypal a few days ago but still have not been upgraded on this site. I have also not received a confirmation email or other notification. Is this normal and how long should it normally take? Thanks for your help guys.
