And also got a set of Audi TT 10 spokes. Stats are 18x9 et50ish. I think they would look great with a set of big orange Porsche brakes underneath. Trial fitted them tonight (its great having an airgun) and the rears are perfect, fronts need 5mm spacers to clear the strut.









As always, share your thoughts :)

Love the wheels  :happy2:

Do these need to have spacers if fitting on a golf gti?

So the car got it's weekly wash, and since it was a fine night, I got a couple of photos of the car.

Think I prefer these to the ones above though, and the monoblocks are actually lighter and have friendlier widths etc for the mk5 platform. But if anyone wants the Audi TT wheels give me a message :)









And I have my highline clocks fitted too. I need a highline control module to get the functions but the display looks better.

So a few updates.

No-one wanted to buy it, so I spent more money on it :lol:.

-New wheel specs are: BBS LM080/82 18x8 on the front and 18x9 on the rear. 225/40/18 on the rear and 215/40/18 on the front.

-Also bought a US rear bumper for it, got it painted, and have buggered the paint within a day, so need to get that sorted.

-Barry at Autodents came and removed two dents

-And spent the last two days machine polishing it, so it looks lovely :)

Specs:


FK Coilovers


The ride height looks perfect on your car, are there different versions of the FK Coliovers ? If so what ones are these and what are they set at ?

They are FK Silverlines and have been on the car for around 6 years. Still all ok, and still free after all that time.
