i got my service kit from euro car parts, (bosch) air, fuel, oil and pollen filters and castrol edge oil, my service is due again, this time im ordering from car parts 4 less, its slightly cheaper,

A bit late tho but I am usually getting all filters from Euro carparts.Oil and all other fluids Liqui Moly from worldoflubricant.co.uk.If you service car your self fuel filter will be a bit tricky.Check out video on youtube change fuelfilter on mk6 Gti by Deutsche auto parts.Exactly same same thing as on VRS mk2.I did all fluid and filter change straight after purchase of car exept air filter as it was visibly new

By the way what are those wheels? Looks good

I get most of my spares from AVS spares

As cheap as Eurocarparts and more often OEM quality parts. Cheaper than Euro for vw505/507 oil etc. 
for mud flaps try your local dealer. They might still be able to get you some.

They not cheaper then Euro. For example coils just purchased recently in Euro on sale for Bosch paid £32 there they have some unknown brand for £30

As with all retailers it pays to do your research into who currently has the best prices. Sometimes cheapest isn’t always best when it comes to quality and fit.
