  1. Update on the wheels. 19x8.5 et40 with 3mm spacers all round. Used extended thread nuts to allow me to safely secure the wheels. Happy with the results, shame about the scuffs on the car and the arch gap! (Especially at the front)
  2. I got the car from my partners aunt and I have asked her if she had the windscreen replaced but she says she hadn't. She previously owned the car for 10 years I believe.
  3. I've checked the sunroof, well the two drains at the front of the sunroof (1 in front left and the other in front right corner) and they seem to be clear. I'll check the scuttle panel today
  4. Hi everyone, My car is a 2005 MK3 GS, I have a very damp front passenger footwell. Has anyone else had this happen and got any info that could help me find where the leak is coming from? Thanks
  5. Hello, Dont suppose you know the spline diameter as well? I've found some that are 14.4mm and 15mm? TIA
  6. Thanks, the reason I ask is because I believe I might need some longer studs to safely fit some aftermarket wheels. A set of wheels I previously tried to fit with the nuts provided with the wheels only had 6 turns of thread to hold them on. Whereas I counted the OEM wheels and nuts to have roughly 12 turns.
  7. Does anyone know the length of the standard wheel studs on the MK3 GS?
  8. I used Tanabe springs, which are apparently pretty good without spoiling the ride quality. I can attest to this being the case too. The 2 I know of are the NF210 (NF - Normal Feels and less of a drop) and the DF210 (Drop feels with more of a drop) Links here: https://www.tanabe-usa.com/nf210.asp?id=2 https://www.tanabe-usa.com/df210.asp?id=1 I opted for the NF210 as the spring rate is 5% stiffer than shock, which I'd guess the stock shock can take (time will tell!) and the drop is reasonable without having to get aftermarket camber adjusters etc. I'd still recommend a 4 wheel alignment, had mine done yesterday and it's perfect now. Do you know of any coilovers that are meant to keep a reasonable ride quality? My driveway won't allow me to lower the car by much so I wanted to use coilovers to fine tune it so I don't beach it coming on/off the drive.
  9. I've now ordered some different 19x8.5j et40 alloys with 245/35 tyres that are a flatter style so hopefully they fit okay. I'll let you all know once they arrive. 10-12 business days to get to the UK from Germany, then a couple days for tyre fitting and shipping to me.
  10. I've been looking at getting a set of 19x8.5j et40. And tyre size of 245/35/19. I ordered some wheels from rimstyle with these exact measurements and due to the deep concave style they were touching on the front calipers. I'm hoping I can get a different set of wheels with the same dimensions but a flatter style face? Also did you change the studs for longer ones with the G spider alloys?
  11. Hi, just wondering what size wheels/ tyres people are running on their MK3 GS. I'm looking at getting some aftermarket wheels and just trying to work out what is best. Thanks
