The bolts do shear easily and replacements are hard to find and expensive. Azrob sorted me out with a spare bolt when I did mine.

i snapped half my bolts. well my m8 was doin them for me and snapped half of them. :angry: dont care when it aint yours.

started on the refurb, but have been sat for months. just matz do replacement bolts. a full set for around £80.

cba with them though, the centres are well hard to do by hand. need to be sand blasted really.

might end up flogging them as they are :undecided:

will do peeps. once i got the 1.8t in and running and sorted, and the body/paint work is done, then i will give them another proper go. going to try to heat the rims up to get the snapped bolts out. this is the main prob.

thanks for the interest :)

6 months ago they were £10.50 a corner for VW ones. I'd get oem ones from the bay or keep an eye for good ones at the scrappy.
