Think carefully about changing the engine mounts for poly. Can be very bumpy

As far as I know the Crazy Quiffs ones are just Superflex ones with scene tax..

I bought the yellow Polysport? Rally design ones for the main rear axle (easy to fit because they are in two pieces)and have just gone standard rubber for the rest of the car for road use.

Seconded. My GLI had poly engine mount inserts and used to suffer from things randomly undoing and/or dropping off due to the transmitted vibration.

I had a few polys on my old rocco... I'd advise against them purely because of the noise. Admittedly, that kind of thing gets to me at the best of times, but I found myself out there, lying under the car, squirting quid shop [i can't believe it's not] WD40 over the poly bushes MUCH too often.
