Hi guys,

I'm new, I bought an 08 octavia vrs tfsi at the weekend. It has 62500 miles on it and is in very goodcondition.

Right so straight to the important stuff what do I need to uprate/modify?

Cheers

I was considering changing out the locking wheel nut for just a regular nut? Which then prompted the second question, I picked up a set of Alcar 9021 17inch Steelies for Winter Tyres, do I need to run seperate nuts due to the alloy v steel nature?
