Awesome gti I did have to wait 6-8 weeks for them thou. But was a very good price and good service.

Yeah I have delt with awesome a few time and had nothing but a great service from them. Did you get them as a wheel and tyre package or get them separately? Did you use standard wheel bolts?

Got them separately and they came with wheel bolts and I used my original locking wheel nuts.

I got my tyres from camskills @ £75 a corner and got them fitted by a mate for £20 all round.

Cheers for that. Sounds like you got a good deal all round.

Think it's time for me to start saving.

Great things cars, just a big money pit. Especially when you are on a forum like this. You see something and you instantly want it.

That is so true!

Had the wheels and tyres on for just over a month now I think.

And I must say these tires are amazing. Just came back from a drive on dual carriageways single carriageways and country roads, all soaking wet with some standing water here and there. The confidence these tires give is unreal.

Before I would have been very cautious driving in these conditions but these tires just give you the confidence to go a little faster. Don't get me wrong you still need your wits about you as anything could happen.

But the car felt so stable going through bends and feels planted going through standing water I couldn't avoid.

The plan was to buy another set for the winter but I think il just take these off and put them on my winter wheels and buy some proper summer rubber for next year. Really really impressed with these tires!!!

my mate's got them on his pug 206 gti180 and the grip is amazing couple that with a car that is setup for handling and its almost close to making your head and stomach go funny. will be getting a set of them myself after my holiday as i am fed up of the dunlops/goodyear and Michelin combo mainly the dunlop's makes the car sound like its got wheel bearing issue's :(

Dunlops are a pain in the arse. I once went to my friends garage to check the wheel bearings as I really thought one had gone when I had Dunlops.

Gave her a quick clean today, was then going to use Mad Cow Ultra Violet QD but the heavens opened up. At least she is clean now thou. Not had one in over two weeks!!

Been thinking lately about the next mod for the car, in two minds at the moment was thinking first remap, but as I didn't drive hard that often I don't think I use the full 170bhp at the moment so I will wait for that.

So I was thinking what next? I really want a rear anti roll bar to see what all the fuss is about so that will be purchased next. After this?

Well if I can pull it off it will change the car completely, but I'm not going to say what it is just yet. Going to do some research speak to a few people and then purchase a few things before I let it slip

Some photos from today;

Just seen the pic of this on mad cow UK's instagram. Looking amazing.

Thank you. I will post some of those pictures up now

As it rained after I cleaned it yesterday I thought I'd have another crack tonight. Washed using dodo juice born to be mild as usual, but then I used mad cow ultra violet QD and I must say I love it. Gives better shine and gloss than sonax BSD, let's just see how it weathers and how it beads!!!

Anyway a few photos;

Followed that madcow stuff for a while and it's always got good reviews tbh. I do like my poorboys stuff but I may try a few things from the cow range.

Bought some centre caps for the wheels ready for trax hopefully I measured correctly. Just have to wait for my new skoda badge stickers to arrive and then stick them on.

Stickers all fitted thanks to the better half. I am hopeless as things like this.

Just got to get them fitted now

Where did you get the centre caps and stickers from dude?

Ebay, I measured my centre caps to be 66mm IIRC so ordered them and then got some 65mm Stickers. Not as good quality of the Pasty ones but I wanted them now.

 

If you can wait go to the pasty group buy and get some off him, much better quality. 

Did you raise the car back to standard? 

Did you raise the car back to standard?

Nope still sitting the same. Going to be going lower in next two weeks ready for trax thou.

Just placed an order for some rear pads, some shell helix ultra ECT engine oil and a Bosch filter. Will service the octy next week then.

Yeah it is very nice. It is my 'go to' road if I fancy a drive on a sunday without going to far, only around 2-3 miles away. 

Had it's service yesterday;

New rear disks and pads, oil changed with shell helix ultra 5-30 fully, new oil filter and fuel filter.

Only managed to get this picture as my phone was dying. Resisted temptation to drop the rear as it seems as thou my fuel tank and been scraping on speed bumps so may raise it up once trax is out of the way.

And I has my new wheel fitted to. So got a complete uncurbed set again...... For now
