you did one hose, and woman'd out at the second one  :tongue:

you car was fighting us though.. every factory fixing seemed to be put on at an awkward angle. intercooler rash isn't nice :grin:

Meh, I like to think of it as leaving it to the pros and providing moral support! :grin:

And your right, my car is a cnut!

One of the hardest jobs I've done on the mk4 to date is that damn hose!  :grin:  Felt like I had to remove half of the engine to get the old one off!

Already ordered :wink:

A couple of snaps of the Recaros:





And winter tyres have been fitted this afternoon:



Initial thoughts are very good! Very little road noise (less than the Bridgestones which were removed!), grip seems very good. The roads are soaking wet today and the traction control had to work less to keeping traction when pulling away from the lights :cool:

Best combo ever, red on black car... Bay is looking  :cool:

Seats are looking tidy too.

Winter tyres though?... where's the fun in that!?  :grin:
