Thanks gents, I'm working on the H&R Touring Cup Kit for a summer improvement.

Yes, the 1.2's - I find that the red lip doesn't work with GTI's usually.

Think black is the only colour that black alloys work imo, I do love the ones on here with a red lip on them as well though.Look the nuts!

Like these Al?  :innocent:

Stunning!  :happy2:

Are those 18s with the car lowered?

Hopefully someone can clarify but i presume, other than simple tracking, you don't have to use anything additional when putting 18x8 alloys on the GTi/ED30?  OZ Ultraleggeras will surely clear the brakes?

....All (as far as I know) OZ Racing wheels have exceptionally good brake clearance. OZ principally design and manufacture wheels for racing cars and have much experience.

Also, a lightweight wheel such as OZ delivers much improved driving feedback.

Am i right in saying that the ED30 is reduced by a further 15mm over the GTi?

Does anyone happen to know how far the car can be lowered before speed bumps become a problem?  Is it fair to say that if lowering is an issue but you want improved stability through corners, FSD Dampeners would offer a good compromise?   :rolleye:

Nope, they're the same.
