I run 17 x 7.5 wheels on my daily, don't really have any issues with them other than the steering being very heavy - non power steering car so to be expected. I've got Bilstein B4 shocks with 40mm Eibach springs and the ride fairly decent, does tram line a bit on bad road surfaces though.
Some Drivers came with grey stripe bumpers, Capri green did and I think Pasadena blue might have also. The only chrome trim on the outside is the VW emblem on the grill, the door handles should have black plastic inserts and no red stripe on the grill either.
Also you should have the smaller CL type chin spoiler and no tailgate spoiler, but you should have the later small bumper arch trims same as the GTI's had.
A bad earth did cross my mind, but everything else works as it should. I'll have to check that the pins on the back of the fuse box for it are in the right places next then.
My rear wiper will wipe the screen once when the ignition is turned on and not again until I press the switch and it works as normal. If I turn the ignition off after its done its wipe and then immediately turn it back on it doesn't do it, but if I leave it say 30 seconds before turning back on it will wipe again.
I've tried changing the wiper motor, the stalk, the relay and the fuse box with ones I know work fine. I've also checked the wiring to the tailgate for broken wires and everything is good.
Has anyone had this issue before or any more ideas what to try? The car is Ce1 electrics, thanks.
