Thanks bud! There 19x8.5 ET 35 but ive lathed 4mm off the rear of them so there ET39 now? I believe its 1ET per 1mm but i could be wrong. they sit great at the front but i need to adjust the camber on the rear abit as i want to lower it more.

That's some nice fitment figures there! I have just fit 18x8 ET 35. Nice and flush at the font, rears could be spaced a few mm out more but would need raising if I did to avoid scraping. Think I will be looking at modifying the liners in the quest for more lows soon.

Very very nice mate..

Thanks Bud! Pretty happy with it at the moment, painted behind the grill matt black and open fogs to tidy all that area up, going to lower it more this evening and paint the inner arches black also, as the SRS wings have a inner panel which protects the car acts like an extended arch liner. Also will notch the frame too at some stage before the weekend.

Really like the car mate. Did the pcv delete make much difference?

Excellent thread and a stunning car. Loved reading through this.

Well done mate, the best looking silver gti custom I think I've ever seen.  All the mods are nice and subtle but have a huge impact.

I applaud you on your build.  :congrats: :congrats: :congrats:
