you won't believe how much work went into getting those rims on my car. They were scuffed to bits, so had them refurbed, then got new tyres to find out the centre bore was too small. Went to go get them bored out, and the machinist told me i needed tyres off.. then the 195/50s didnt go on the front so had to go and get 195/45 but in the end they're on the car!

the rear spoiler looks like a votex one like i have it was an upgrade to the non gti cars due to the gti's having the 3rd brake light in the spoiler, and the others havent its built into the boot.

noo not at all.. it may be the case if you don't get it done properly but i had it done at torque, which is a very very good company.. they charge more than others but the service is definitely better
