I knew i was right hah
Lovely looking wheels really suit the mk5.
My brothers got some reps in 19s (think they are for sale) and I love how they look but my cars too low for 19s.

You keeping them in the original finish?

they need to go on my car soonish, as current tryes on my 17s are dead, so Im thinking Im gonna run the SLINES for now as they are, and in mid March I'l take them of and refurb,

So it'l be Polished outers and either Hyper silver or maybe crackle Centres not decided yet.

Im hoping to get my mk5 fully wound down, I'l get the chassis notch done, and then for the time being it should be fine

UPDATE

Well I managed to get the new 2 tyres fitted to the the wheels on tuesday with the intentioin of goin to prept, but had a few difficultys with the tyres, so il be ordered an additioinal 2 tyres again from my mate at Tuningwerks, decided to deal with the curb marks sooner than later, and hopefully tackle them one evening next week.

Got a text from a mate that he was going up to Motech Performance over in Northampton to get his car mapped so I thought I may aswell get mine done too, so went along, having used Motech in the past on my old Golf I had faith in him and his ability.  On the Journey up from London I was averaging 26/27 in my GTI travelling at about 80ish, on the journey back at the same driving style I saw a gain in my mpg of 32/34. The Drive of the cars changed massively IMO, the cars become so much more responsive, increase in the HP of approx 40hp. over taking on the way home was at ease no need to drop a gear.

If your in the market for a map definatly give him a shout, I'l be gettin my wifes 105 TDI mk5 done in a few weeks to on a eco map from them too.

Also went down to see the bodyshop I use and have booked the car in to have the tail gate painted as the paint has started to flake, and thought I may also stick a differant front spliter on too.

I also sold my mk2 Golf today too. so all in all quite a productive day.

Today I spent a few days in my Garage sorting Bits an bobs out, as now the Golf mk2's gone to a new home I thought it would be a good time to Sort the space and etc so that got done.

Sorted out a Dodgy door card on the passenger side, as it wasnt on properly.

Couple of weeks back I bought some Rotiform rims

had a little play with it today but this was done to make sure they Audi Speedlines sit how I want it to.

As the Speedlines had been delayed untill I got another 2 tyres, Had a chat with a few mates and decided to give split the speedlines apart and give them a a bit of a polishing session.

So thats what we did, rounded up the lads at went down to my mates Garage, and thats where the magic happened.

Process was pretty straight forward tbh, 180grit on da followed by 320 and the wet sanded down using 320, then come out the polishing guns and things started to look bling, Used a 2 stage Polishing kit that I bought on the net worked really well.

For now all We done was the dish's, and I think by mid show season I'l split them again and have the centres painted in a differant colour.

Heres some pics

Just as a reminder of what they were like





And through the stages








Before and after
