063 is the OEM, but a 075 is the go to I think - slightly wider than what should be fitted - but it still fits. Gives you more cold-cranking amps (starting).


As for  brand - many, many, choices. Bosch or Yuasa are pretty good. Have a look at  Car Batteries - Motorcycle Batteries - Leisure Batteries - Cheap Prices!
 as there are plenty of options on there to suit your budget. Personally I went for a Yuasa 3000 for my GTi

027 bigger amperage than an 075 but slightly taller
