I must admits the te centre caps were the cherry on top for me. They do look spot on. What size spacers did you use? 20mm?

That looks great!! I think the pescaras have a lovelly colour to them so would never think of changing.... but that looks really good and goes with the colour of the car well.

Not a white car black wheels thing which everyone now seems to be doing. So credit for being original... and will no doubt help me spot you whenever I venture out to Ilkley (im in north leeds)

No just 12mm IIRC mate, might even have been 10mm with my Audi splits which were 7.5J. Improved the look loads, especially if you're a stance hunter and want a prouder rear profile.

About 3/4 way down: http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,15910.30.html

They were made by BIMMEC I think and were only 10mm if I recall, 10-15mm would work a treat in most cases with 7.5J OEM wheels.

Thanks Pete. Unfortunately some arse on his phone drove into me so my money is now taken up by fixing the front end. The most annoying thing is that the entire front had been painted less than a week before. Now the light is slightly pushed back and the bumper is pushed out. Bad times.!!

Hi Ben, was thinking we should get some people from over here and go for a drive, and get some good shots. There is a sweet drive which starts by goig up curly hill in ilkley and it's about 100 miles round trip, but need to find the route :)

Alrite buddy,

Loving the ED30, wish I could get insurance on one!
Saw the first picture at the Cow & Calf, from Skipton and work in Otley so i'm another local near you guys, i've seen your mates Polo knocking around as well  :happy2:

Liking it!


Its funny you reply, I saw you the other day driving into Ilkley, just after the bottom of the Addingham bypass! Just PM me whenever, although my 1.9 Tdi will NOT keep up!

Yeh I was probs driving fast as that's just after the guy smashed my front end. You going to bug jam? I'm getting my car fixed ASAP and a smooth front in carbon (no point replacing broken for stock haha) so once it's all back together well take some sweet shots haha. Did you like the golf rims budddddy?

The front of your car looked fine when I saw it, not a mark? Although you did have the rims on, and they looked sweet! Not going to Bug Jam i'm afraid, we'll look into something soon though  :happy2:

few pics of my car over the past few months as i havent updated this in a while, not much has changed, hopefully in the coming months i want to get all the paint sorted out once and for all as some i am not happy with and some funny little youths took my edy badge from the back and took the paint with it.

hopefully to come will be coils, osir mirrors and foot plate, 3sdms (or something else with concave, if you have any ideas please tell me haha), some nice shiny bits under the bonnet and maybe a bonnet bra, maybe haha!

Thanks for the comments guys, people love or hate the wheels. They were powdercoated at cas coatings in Bradford, if I am 100% honest thee are a few imperfections in them but for the price they look amazing and you can't see any of the marks when they are on the car.

Hoping to get it on some coils and have a few bits of paint done soon. and my carbon front should be here by the end of the month  :grin:

If any1 knows a really good body shop in Leeds/ Bradford area I would ally appreciate it. Had a few bits done by the ones I know and I am not 100% happy with them.

Cheers again guys
