Looking great mate.Can't go wrong with that style of rims, got edition 30 alloys on my GTI. 

[McKay88]

i was really looking for a set of ed 30 alloys but couldnt find any in reasonable condition. next has to be lowering but no sure if i should go for springs or save up for coilovers!

the 17s had to go look pretty poor on the gti they look lost 

Thanks for the comments guys

D.I.Y

1. I made up the number plate using a smaller font but also keeping it standard lettering

2. I masked off 1" around the letters and numbers then cut down to size

3. I sanded the edges of the number plate to make them smooth and used a grinding stone to round off the edges

4. I took off the lower grill

5. Upto yourself what u want to use to stick it on i used double sided tape but cleaned the honeycomb with thinners to remove any silcone or wax

6. Put the grill back on and away you go just give it a little time to settle then test it and make sure its not going to fall off 


You could save yourself the hastle of making the reg up n just buy one precut just measure the size you require but some places want a fortune to make a smaller regHope this helps.

Hi guys been quite some time the last time i updated this. Had a decent day on saturday so i decided a wax was in order.

In the past few months i have refurbed the CH's to matte black with a silver lip (didnt fancy paying £40 for each rim protector lol), put on a shark fin ariel, had a parrot kit fitted and open front grills.

Very nice fella, but little tip, get some tyre shine and two screws to hold your number plate properly 

[Tara]

Very nice

I appreciate that I may well be in the minority, but I much preferred the wheels in the original silver, rather than the black.

The rest of the car looks pretty cool though. You gonna upgrade the sound system?
