What design do you dream about for your GTI? :smiley:

Wouldn't mind the 19" Monza's from the W12 650 concept car, or some 991 Porsche Carerra/ turbo wheels. At the moment I'm very interested in the new GTI clubsport/ ED40 or whatever they're calling it, I'm going to try and find out more about the release date and price this weekend.
For now I think it's the GTI Clubsport. It looks awesome! Should be quite tunable too! :evilgrin:



It's not easy to say this but if I had the chance/budget I would consider one for me as well. I love my mk5 Eddie though. :laugh:

Yeah the MK5 is a great car especially the ED30's but i've never wanted a car as much as when I saw that picture, if they really look like that then I need to have one.

At least now I have a car that I know I'd like to upgrade to in the future. :drool:

So after a month of wavering I finally decided that I don't like the O.Z's and I want to get rid of them. I was going to use these wheels I had sitting around the workshop as slave wheels while I bought some new ones but actually I put them on and really like them. I've ordered a few bits to finish them off but here's how they look now.





Not the best photos I was in a hurry and the centre caps are sh*t as they sent the wrong badges. I've got a few bits coming this week to finish them off and if it looks how I hope it will then it should be awesome.


Finally got my new number plate (21st birthday present) sorted out and fitted, the plates are resin ones. Shout out to Rajan

He does plates/ centre caps/ stickers/ badges and loads more and it's always great work.






few more updates coming this weekend.

Cheers guys, I think for the first time the black plastic trim actually goes with the car. Its always been a bit much but for the first time I think it looks better than it would if it was body colour.

I like those plates and the wheels, although I don't like black wheels, give a good contrast to your GTI. Nicely done. :happy2:

The only detail I'm not loving is the chrome side mirrors caps. Black or united grey would work better for me. :smiley:

Last set of wheels look much better IMO  :happy2:

I'm with Shoduchi on the mirrors though, black would be my choice.

Cheers for the input guys  :happy2:

I really like the O.Z's but just didn't do it for me on the car, and I still liked the diamond cut C63 wheels but I just fancied a change after a year. Yeh I was wondering about changing the mirrors, I thought about carbon but don't want it to look chavy, might go for just matte black.

Loved the OZ's you had, but the black alloys look stunning on the car. Really suit the grey  :happy2:

Liked the OZ rims but felt they didn't suit the car nearly as much as the mercs. Looking really nice on the new wheels.
