Thanks Brad - the black plastic covers (the OEM ones) do not fit with the aftermarket rims (too large). So i have been looking at ones like these which are not as big. Still not 100% sure if they will fit, so that's why i am also considering replacing the bolts altogether for either chrome or black ones. That way i do not have to worry about covers.
Confused i was haha. Damn - what did you get busted for in the Subaru?
Yeah the GTI is starting to look alright after a heap of cleaning and some new parts. Still needs some buff and polish time which i just got my new polish for - will do this over the next week or so. New wheels and a bit of lowering made a big difference too.

Ask your brother to get a price on the Skoda ones - exactly the same. The workshop probably has some lying about.
carandimage The place where Off-Topic is On-Topic I used to think I was anal-retentive until I started getting involved in car forums
Can they defect you for some of that stuff? Turbo? Exhaust...too loud? Didnt sound too loud when you went past last night. Catch can i can sort of understand. Intake....i thought if the air filter was enclosed it was ok. Suspension....too low? Emissions....as long as you have a 200cel cat it should be fine?

I was thinking that Brad. I know Audi use a smaller plastic cover on some of their cars....not sure if Skoda do as well? I might go into the dealership on the weekend and have a look.
Fitted a GFB DV+ yesterday evening. I have one of these on the R and it does what its supposed to do.
It replaces the weak links in the factory DV that are prone to leaking/ripping/failing. My car had a revision G DV on it from the factory. With the car now boosting around 20psi i wanted to make sure the DV wasn't going to be leaking on me.
Looking good with the new springs mate. Bet the missus is happy with it.
Cheers - yes she likes it. She says the new rims makes it lough 'tough'
Giving it a thorough buff and polish this week to remove some swirls left my the original owner. This new Menzerna buffing compound i got is proving to be quite good.
