« on: 23 May 2011, 21:34 »

where is the best place to get aftermarket items for cheaper i.e pagid items?

not my GTI as im an Audi S4 owner but this is for a mate of mine not into forums and cars so doesnt know where to get good stuff.

ive already got a supplier on the case from my SRS forum but wonder if you guys know what is the best for the GTI 05plate

You sure as I haven't got that PM?  :undecided:

Never used them myself but they seem to get decent feedback  :smiley:  I replaced the rears on the Aldi with ATE pads and they seem decent if a little dusty  :undecided:
