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.
Most scirocco's are all the same but some are different...

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.

Feels Amazing, like new. :D :clap: :D :clap:
I was thinking about starting one . . . . :nod:

Nice spec on your R, nice ride :yes: Panoramic roof is a rare touch.
Folding mirrors upgrade has crossed my mind :shrug: :)

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.

Got him back from the stealers following the dreaded EGR valve replacement that's been on the cards for about six months now :rolleyes:
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 !

Still happier than ever with the car! Even the missus feels threatened
