I think mines are alright at the moment but maybe look into them nearer the winter. New brakes will come in handy..  :wink:

Hi all, got a nice update to share...

I picked these up yesterday in Leeds from a forum member and after a long 10 hour drive (628 miles) and a nights sleep I have my new Charleston alloys on the Golf.

They are not in the best condition, thought they were a bit better original on the pics however I have them and love them. Will be getting refurbished over the winter months ready for the spring.

Now its Sciroccos off.. can't say I miss them to be honest but it was time to change.

Pics below..

Saying goodbye to the Rocco's


Hello Charlestons!


Some quick snap shots..






Hope you all like them as much as me!

It's crying out for a set of H&R springs  :wink: that would really finish it off  :happy2:

Well because its the 4motion its 15mm lower than a standard golf anyway and the weight of the rear diff actually makes it look lowered already so kinda got the height perfect imo. It sits lower than a Gti does according to one of the salesman in VW near me lol

I'd have to think about that one because my last Golf mk4 just went all to pop once I put coilovers on it, arms, wishbones, driveshaft etc... not going down that route again. Plus i dont want mines looking close to a boy racer look. Trying to keep it OEM but nicer.

Dont want to slam it lol  :laugh:

I'm not saying it doesn't bud. Just stating that basically I don't want to end up with problems like my last Golf. As soon as I lowered it it basically went tits up  :signLOL:
