Re: [Mk2]16"rims tyres size combinations-any 225-45-16&245-45-16 set low?

indeed i think you are right, i couldn't get hold of 225/45/16 in F1's either so now i'm running 225/45/16 bridgestone potenza S03 instead!

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] FAO People with Goodridge Brake Hoses

The hoses are complete and the bracket fitting is installed on the hose at the factory. The Goodridge hose also uses the stock retaining clip to hold ...

It seemed that the hose couldn't fit in the original bracket? My question is what's the easiest way to secure the hose properly to the inner arches? Is this ...
