12mm, elz, same as the eibachs. others go slightly wider on the front, 15mm works well too. happy with the 12s, though, not sure i could handle any more mud being slung up the side as it's my daily driver. glad you enjoyed the thread! [emoji106]

bit of a service yesterday; cambelt, water pump, new brake fluid, m.o.t, wheel alignment. not really sure what these figures mean so if anyone can shed some light i'd be grateful, was told they can't do the camber on the front due to the vwr springs. feels nice and tight on the road, though it did before:

...and two days later my a/c starts hissing and rattling so it's back to vw, who fitted a new one under warranty. bargain. wouldn't have been covered by a stone hitting it, was lucky it had cracked instead. pretty sure it should be black though.

and while i'm at getting him over his 4 year service hump why not an exhaust fix too? pretty sure it had a new backbox before i got it. the pipe was cut and joined with a sleeve which had rusted through.

Second that, super clean example and subtle mods that make all the difference.

thanks, boys!

yeh, phil's guilty for telling me it was a good idea, trust him too much that's my problem. and al, too, he's always annoyingly full of good advice. in fact everyone but me. (does sound wicked tho.)

not much going on recently - had to top up the coolant after the 4 year service - got through about a litre of the stuff; emptied the reservoir twice. was beginning to think i had a leak. settled down after a few hundred miles and is still on max so all good. vw said to keep an eye on it, lucky i did.

finally got the karcher out and jetwashed the wheels. lucky cos i found a cool wall whilst sneaking around back at rehearsals today.

got to go back to the original bulbs in the turning lights now, hate the blue tint these 'white' ones give. looked cool at night when i twist the wheel tho'...

think the mini-mod list is almost done now, only a couple left.

this one's been waiting too long; replacement hazard warning switch that matches the black trim more. air vents were easier to remove than i had feared. old on left, new on right. doesn't sit quite flush with the surround at the bottom - probably a 2mm recess, but i can live with that.
