Ha ha, try suggesting it on the Suggestions Sub-forum!! Shot down in Flames!!

On a cheerier note, welcome to the OP from YET another GT TDI owner!  

Loving the progress of the car. BBS CH's are the natural wheels for the car (or .:R Omanyt's) 

You thinking of painting half of the the lower rear valance? Totally jealous of that delicious sounding milly.

Cheers mate.. Yeah your right about that CH's look 
I will be painting the lower rear valance later on this year or early next year. The whole front needs doing as it's a mess with a million stonechips 

NO bbs ck are the best choice 

Lol, like Darren said only you have them so 

Plans sound good plans so far. Nice upgrade on the steering wheel. Currently looking for a Mk5 GTi one if anybody's selling...? 

Just ordered my GTi rear lower valance which will get half-painted soon soon. Going for a custom made stainless exhaust tho. Tis cheaper and with endless possibilities. 

Just to re-inforce the fact that CH's are so suited to the Mk5 here's a few more pics. No fitted pics yet as my Eibach sportlines aren't getting fitted for a week or two:

Coming on nice fella, how are you getting on with the wheels, I am after getting a set for my vRS but have been put off by horror stories of replica wheels cracking, buckling or the paint flaking.......?

Thanks mate, I've had mine on for four months they are fine. Just make sure you don't get budget tyres as they are S@!T.

CHs will look well

They 18" or 19"?

I am toying with the idea of CH reps instead of paying out £300+ on refurbing my Zeniths, do you mind if I ask where you got yours and how much they set back?

I would be swapping my current tyres over, Hankook Evo V12's front and Kumho KU31's on the rear.

I got them from Storm Motorsport. They only had the black but they ordered the silver ones for me which were cheaper
