[quote="eightyeightmph"]Springs are tempting, the suspension has settled down nicely but an inch lower would be perfect (nice colour too :D )

Has anyone else got an R? In 3 months of driving I've only seen one on the road and that was a white one in Henley this weekend.[/quote
Springs not fitted yet I am hoping this week ,new wheels are off the car as my dear wife has Kerbed one so I've decided to change the colour to anthracite as one needs painted I might as well get them all done
Pics to come when I get it all done

Vwr springs now fitted looks a lot better I measured the height before and after and its dropped 30mm front and rear so it should drop a little more once it has done a few miles , also added led bulbs to drl no errors yet certainly a lot brighter sorry for the poor quality pics used my phone I will post better pics when we get a bit of sun :)

Lesvw123 springs look great, definitely a future purchase when I have the pennies.

I've just bought an LED kit for the interior bulbs and some puddle lights for the doors to replace the pointless reflector at the bottom of the door card.

It would def make your R look good as it is lower already ,I'm just waiting for my wheels to come back from the paint shop getting them done Matt gunmetal I'm hoping they look good with lowering the car

Tidy! Will look good against white.

Interior LEDs installed, look very smart, well worth the short amount of time to swap them and for under £20 it's a no brainer!

Hi, first of all I have to say that you have done the perfect mods, I love these wheels, even more in antracite and the appearance has improved a lot with that springs!
I have a question about the bulbs. Can you specify the type or code? I would appreciate more information about how to change it. Have you removed the front side grill after removing the front screw?
I am an everyday follower of Scirocco Central from Spain. I own a 1.4 tsi 125 by R-Line bought in December 2014 pure white and Salvador wheels. I will show to you soon.

Thank you in advance!

Hi if you do a search on ebay for a p21w led or this is the item number I purchased 251567068578
To replace bulbs look in the front of your wheel arch and there is a removable plastic cover remove that and you will
See three bulb holders it is the centre one twist it and then the holder comes out then remove the bulb and replace with the led and then test it before replacing the holder and it's as easy as that just check your dash for bulb errors

Nope, plug and play! I tested the first couple after replacing them by turning on the ignition but after the first two had no issues I put all the rest in before firing it up to check for faults. Seller is sending me a free replacement for the glove box (faulty bulb).
