Ah, yours still looks good to me mate. Need to lower mine soon by about 40mm. It's riding on 17's at the minute. So yours is on 16's has she been lowered at all?

No probs geezers  :cool:  I also have 5 doors and twin lamp grill - even if I only have the BBS alloys (which I love actually). Maybe we can start a 5 door, twin grill thread for the more discerning dubber  :grin:

Yeah, we'd have the 3 door guys up in arms! There's nowt wrong with the BBS, they're beuts! Mine's in the garage at the moment, one of the stud holes has been bent out of shape when the front disc exploded! Not sure if it's fixable but I don't really have the cash for that and a refurb. And I can never make my mind up about the BBS or the wheels that're on. If only I had to GTI's....

Its likley to be the valve guides mate, if you do the stemies it will fix it for a bit, but it'll come back.  How many miles has it done?

Ha, exactly what my valver had done when i had em done.     Had mine done at tsr so cost a fortune.  I may be wrong but its somthing you should consider,  just having the stemies done could be false econmy.
