Found them on EBay Wednesday night and put in an offer, didn't expect him to accept. He said they've been wrapped up in his garage for 4 yrs. They're in really condition considering. I just got lucky.

Installed an Xtrons head unit today, as well as putting in tinted rear lights & side repeaters. Also put a set of Helios 18” Replicas on as well.

You got lucky indeed mate.
Yes mate, I put them on Touran bases, you’ll have to cut the little tabs off the seat rails. I’m 5’11” and I don’t struggle with getting comfy.

Finally got around to fitting the rear r32 brake conversion with drilled and Groved discs , all new parts, let me know if some one wants the part numbers I still have the boxes,
Job was fairly straightforward but had to take the hard pipe from the old calipers for the new ones , one was seezed to the nut and twisted the pipe and knackered it, so was up till 1am to flare my own one!
Just have to swap over the bracket on the original calipers and you can use the standard brake lines but braided ones are nicer!
Kit cost 300 pounds and came with pads and discs.ImageImageImageImageImageImage
