Hopefully I'll get a replacement soon so I can get my rear speakers working again. Still deciding whether to get a small sub or have 6x9's in the rear shelf and relive my younger Essex days.

Moving over to Flickr, sorry for the broken picture links!

I'd get a nice sub instead of 6x9's loads cleaner look and sound.

As this is my daily driver I've just been using it as I'm quite reluctant to alter it too much from a standard car as I already have my gti for modifying but I've decided on changing the wheels, couldn't turn these down........ Oz supaleggra fully forged 3 piece splits. These are light nearly as light as my pro race 1.2's on my other gti.



I'm going to split them down and a quick refurb ready for summer but torn between Matt black centres and gloss lips or sliver centres polished lips. Think I'll go for the black option as it's easier to maintain

I don't think I'll be selling them if I'm honest. Just had them refurbed and fresh tyres too so they'd be strong money.

Sell them and use the cash for getting a new Haldex system for your other mk5 GTI. :P

That would be a real shame mate, Knowing how much time and effort has gone into it,
But it must be frustrating being so close but yet so far with it.

I just haven't got the time I used to have to use it and enjoy it, it'll either stand around, turned into a track inspired show car (waste) or a 3-4 trackdays a year car which is a waste so ill probably let someone else enjoy it as I have too many commitments now

What about breaking it down? Or is that just too much effort for only a small amount of extra money back?
