right i have these ordered in 22mm makes 11mm each side i have ordered as well longer serurity bolts what i now need to know is

1) i will need 8 more longer normal bolts now for the front can i get longer ones from vw and if so what car are they off or part number

2) does anyone know the normal lenght of the wheel bolts saves me having to take one off again forfot to measure  :laugh:

3) is it fine and ok to cut wheel bolts down to size will it not affect the thread?

1)You will indeed need 8 more longer bolts,unsure if VW sell them but i know Awesome Gti do

2)The std thread length of a mk4 golf bolt is 28mm,so you'll need 39mm thread length bolts.

3),yes it is fine to cut down wheel bolts,personally i'd put a nut of it and when you take the nut back off it will clean the thread up for you.

If you put a nut onto the bolt and cut the bolt where required,when you take the nut back off it will clean up the end of the thread so it can be bolted in without cross threading.

I buy my bolts from here

Tapered for Steelies, Radius for most alloys.
Do not buy from this company.

They are scammers....

I bought some vectra lights from them in march,....im still waiting...i cancelled last month and requested my money back....im still waiting...no one will respond to my e-mails...the manager wont speak to me....I have only ever spoken to 1 person at their office....and shes a right lying f**k*r. Trust me

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY OR THEIR WEBSITE!!!

Google them on google maps and read their shocking reviews. Try their facebook page too essexracing. These f**k*rs are a disgrace.
---------------------------
I Bought Volkswagen Golf MK4 Black LED Tail Lights from Essex Racing on the 27th of April 2010.
They were out of stock therefore i asked them to cancel he order on 28/04/10
I made a payment of £150 via internet on their website
I have been waiting for 30 days now,
They are rude and keep me waiting on the phone.
The woman who pick up the phone told me that i can report the company if i want to or do whatever i want
They said that i have to speak to account department which open at 1pm to 4pm but the line is always busy when i am on the phone.
I have not received my money back.
Now they said they will send me a cheque, so i am waiting
