Can't lower with VCDS yet on my car. Struggling to get into secret menu in the FL car. Need in there to stop the car dropping over 30mpg and cashing an error code.

Cheapest place I can find is on ebay from Germany for just under £200. I haven't translated this page to check everything, this is just to give you an idea:

hi Mike had some 2 piece 21" * 10.5 forged 10 spokes in bronze made up all round in concave. I have less concave on the front to give the effect of a staggered setup. My friend owns http://aristocollection.com/so he made up a set for me.

According to FedEx they should be here Friday. Once they are on I'll order the H & R springs from Euro Car Parts :-). Fitting doesn't look to bad so I'll borrow my mates ramp and get my hands dirty!. After 100 miles or so i'll get the 4WA done as he also has the hunter tracking machine.

I'll post some pics up once they are on.

VIM was one of the things on my to do list. Doubt I'd ever use it but was going to try and get it to work anyway. What's the problem Paul? Is it the security code?
