« on: September 04, 2013, 12:23:36 pm »
Hello people thought I'd start a thread on my GTI see what people think of it, got some plans for it and had some good progress. Got some pictures and see what you think?

When I picked it up


Few pictures



Got my black badge, yellow fogs and yellow high beams in


Forge twintake arrived


Then wheels :D




Went AmD for some coilovers


Want it lower already


Reflection shot



What people think?.

Wheels are interesting matey.

I'm quite impressed with the choice, nothing token wheel or scene queen  :happy2: Different without being silly.
Keen to see how they'll work and look having run silver wheels on my Steel Grey GTI.

I've got AP's on the A3 and they're plenty low enough for rubbing and hassle if I wanted to leave them at that height. I'm personally not into the slammed look but a drop that sits the arch on the top of the tyre profiles is fine by me.

Keep up the mods and updates  :smiley:
