Looks good, always been a fan of the R32 wheels, have you done anything special with fitting them like spacers, as they look to stick out alot more than Monza II's.  Also be interested to know if you have any suspension mods or is that with original ride height.

Looks very nice  :happy2:
No spacers that I'm aware of. I noticed when I fitted some CH reps to my last golf the sat out a good bit more than the standard wheels.
The suspension is stock. After some lowering springs tho.

looks awesome, maybe remove the mudflaps?

what did you use to stick the seat inlays down?
..........nothing wrong with mud flaps. :fighting:  :smiley:

I will second that Gene I like the flaps on mine, and do a good job of keeping the spray down.  And bearing in mind the country we live in and the amount it rains the motorways would be alot better if everyone had them to reduce the spray. (goes ducking for cover after possibly opening a can of worms)
.........i had them fitted to mine after i got it. Don't look out of place to me. :smiley:

Im ordering a set for mine! That car looks mint BTW

Got my pro races and sportlines on today. So obligatory pic. Tyres need dressed and car's dirty so will get more pics in time.
They'll take a little gettin used to - they look tiny compared to my last wheels.

Comments welcome as always

Looks good mate  :happy2:

The 'motorsport' style wheels always look smaller IMO and yours being dark adds to that effect.

How are you finding the ride on the sportlines? I noticed a small difference but not much.

Yeah going form 19" silver Omanyts to 18" antharacite is quite a difference. I like them though.
The ride's a touch firmer but not too much.
