So I take it you bought the springs somewhere else and had them fitted there?
How much did they charge you?

Another big plus for midland vw...I've used them a few times with my previous tt and always found them excellent. Not too expensive either.

No, supplied through them, best price I could I find & good advice as I initially enquirer about VWR springs. Drop them a line.

Installed S3 short shifter and RAMAIR panel filter ... Both have made a small difference

I got him back from the body shop this week after a roundabout collision. New door and a touch up on the bumper from previous car park incident, someone reversed onto the front bumper.
Alloy refurb x4. Followed by a clay bar, machine polish and a wax; all ready for winter.
Gas Struts installed
Door sill protectors installed.

Feels Amazing, like new.
I was thinking about starting one . . . .
Nice spec on your R, nice ride

Panoramic roof is a rare touch.
Folding mirrors upgrade has crossed my mind

They look identical. They are slightly different when they arrive, compared to the picture. The ball joint is not attached to a plate, they are bolts. Easy to install, good instructions sent with it. I have good clearance on both sides, no obvious areas for it to rub.
Installation guide on here if you need/want it.

Got him back from the stealers following the dreaded EGR valve replacement that's been on the cards for about six months now
To be fair the £1,000 bill was significantly reduced to just over £400 because of VW good will - they quite literally will bend over backwards for you right now - kudos to EuroCanterbury for pulling out the stops for Walter.
Drove home in the rain & he genuinely felt like a new car !

3 years of ownership today! and I've hit 50,000 miles (29000 miles of those are mine)..
Still happier than ever with the car! Even the missus feels threatened
