kyler2107 Posted January 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Today whilst my dad was fitting some Eibach springs to his Golf, i thought i would go ahead and remove my rear wiper... i used a post in the how to section, http://forums.clublupo.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=43009They didn't have any 25mm blank grommets in halfords so i had to use a 24mm one. Also the post says you need a 14mm spanner, for some reason mine was 13mm?! It was a nice cheap easy job tbh.Apart from snapping off a bit of plastic it went ok... bol.

kyler2107 Posted January 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 my drivers door is different from my ignition and boot, so i guess it had a new lock at sometime. How much would it cost for a new lock to match the ignition key say? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Howell Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 It definately would have had a new lock in the past. It really depends how much you want it done; I know for a fact it will not be cheap so it really may be worth putting up with unfortunately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyler2107 Posted August 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 I have finally come around to fitted the JOM blueline coil overs to my car. I have sat the front with still quite a bit of thread to go, whilst the back is as low as it will go without taking out the adjusters. Which i am a bit weary about taking out tbh. My dad seems to think to bring the front up to match the back whereas im the opposite, lol.should i raise the front or take out the adjusters?
