CazzaVR 0 Posted May 31, 2009 Sounds good- I go somewhere similar- they look after loads of Rados 8) May try Streetwise in Bristol though as they're VAG specialists and do a full service (OEM parts/oil) and MOT for £125! Bargain. Keep us all posted when you eventually get it done :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BessyBeaut 0 Posted June 3, 2009 i was thinking maybe the rota cup's as i'v never seen a rad with them on and their super deep (4"dish)... not sure what they are like in real life tho, seen alot of wheels that look good in pictures but naff in the flesh.
