I see... yeah thats it. On G60's for winter - and ive had my RM's made wider over at Mike's and done black (H)

Got clutch cable lubricated and adjusted, garage said I didn't need a new one. Also got the box oil changed and apparently there was no metal swarf in it or on the magnet, happy days! Car seems easier to drive now so hopefully that'll give the box some more life!

what mats have you got in your car? and also what have you got around the grill? the red bit im on about, cheers.

The mats are just standard vw mats.

The stripe around the grill is just detailing tape I got from Halfrauds. Can't remember how thick, depends on how wide you want it I suppose! Amazingly its lasted a year so far

I know of a set of 16" BBS RC's for sale, anyone seen a Gti with these on?

Only link i've found is this:

Opinions appreciated...

Cheers.

hhhmm does look quite nice! Although I prefer the 16" RXII and RX look.

I'm not a fan of them wheels... And that exhaust looks gash.

I think the wheels just look too big for the car. The center cap looks massive in proportion to the rest of it lol

Hi all, long time no post, been a busy summer! Finally found a set of 16" Rx's in 4x100, took a while but worth the wait. I know the most common tyre size for these wheels is 195/40/16 but am worried about the ride/risk of denting due to Glasgow's pot holes!

The wheels came with 195/45/16 which need binned but am wondering if anyone has run these before and if they had any problems? Also the selection of tyres is better in this size and also significantly cheaper!

Cheers for any help in advance.

Those tyres will scrub the rear arches badly and the speedo will be out. I strongly advise against it

Ok thats the answer I was looking for, cheers!

I had a set on my 16s when I got the car, and my rear arches had burned through! Bloody nightmare lol

Lol thats not good, just bought 4 T1R proxies, £255 posted from Camskill... gulp. Wheels getting powdercoated tomorrow, thinking of getting them done titanium grey, cant decide between that and standard silver...

What colour is the car again?

Thats not too bad - i paid around 190 about a year ish ago which I thought was alot! Getting conti sport contacts 3s next as the Toyos suck in the wet lol!

Silver car, so think it would look good, just dont want it to look like i'm from the fast and the furious lol
