yep originals are glass and they are held on with silicon sealant am sure there was/is a group buy for these as i got some. very easy to replace....

FK Highsports on mine with a 60mm drop. Wheels 17'sX 7.5... the ride although harder than standard is very good and the handing is greatly improved. for the money would say it was worth every penny....

Thanks I believe that is good advice wish id never done the bl***y manifold now!!! yeh will probably have a further look this weekend change ht leads etc and if no better get the heep of junk taken to my local vw specialist and sign a blank cheque for him to sort!!! coz i am sure it will cost me a small fortune to sort.... sometimes i really hate owning a rado! :mad: :onfire: :brickwall: :mad2: -

I recently changed my manifold to a nice shinney 50mm one, job went ok apart from a tricky stickey injector, fitted new gaskets etc, took it for a run about half hour and it was great running better than it ever has!! full of the joys of spring i thought i would clean the engine bay up abit, sprayed the de grease around and washed it off looked quite alot better and then everything seemed to go wrong... the car decided to start running like a bag of spanners miss firing dropping revs and stalling....will not run for more than a few mins and that is with foot hard to floor at times! ok i thought let it dry out so i did over night wipped round etc, today still the same, removed spark plugs gave em a clean still the same! bought a new dizzy and new plugs still the same!! havnt changed the ht leads as no where open on a sunday stocks em ... typical! removed spark plugs again and noticed they where covered in carbon deposits?? Have tried the search hence changing what i have been able too.... does anyone have any other ideas?? what a great weekend i love my rado!!!! :roll: :!: thanks
