_JLClark_ Posted May 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Love the wheels mate Thanks a lot dude really appreciate it Plans next are: Buy a passat rear badgeSpray front and rear badges same style as the RM's then colour code the backs of them.Remove adjusters!! Then onto the big one, Anyone know where i can source a Scorpion backbox for less the £208 (cheapest) + is it worth while getting a BMC or too much hassle to route in an oil breather/filter?

_JLClark_ Posted May 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 I tried on a set of 165's and the stretch on the rear was pretty immense, but chickened out last minute! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom's Lupo Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 (edited) Do the bosch aero wipers come as a kit mate because i got some the other day and i had to send them back because they would not fit Edited May 15, 2011 by Tom's Lupo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_JLClark_ Posted May 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Haven't recieved them just yet but i ordered - 'Bosch Aerotwin Retro-fit Twin Pack AR533S 21 inch/19 inch'You need retro-fit.
