Hi mate
16" BBS RX2's (inch larger than the standards
) Its lowered about 45mmish on H&R cup kit suspension which I must say is superb...soo comfy and responsive on the corners!
No spacers at all - all OEM
cheers

Ah thankyou for the quick reply.Mines pretty standard but im huge fan of the origional look so want to keep the 15" as ive just had them refurbed.Im looking into lowering mine and what suspension to get.I like the height yours is sitting at so i'll consider 45mm for the future.Thanks again
Brad

Well my Megs G220 is on order with an array of pads and compounds, so that should be fun for next week.
Gonna spend a few days getting it tip top for the winter, and if I get a chance, I may refurb my colour concept wheels so I have something to put on the GTI for the winter (though they need new tyres!). Hopefully my choice of colour will go as planned!

Ye dual action polisher, and yes it doubles up as a DA sander.
Mops - i presume your referring to the pads
got a load of sonus and menzerna ones, which seem to work well

Some teaser pics of the finish:
Im quite pleased
. Theres a few quite deep scratches though, which wont come out too easily (and as Im still learning, i don't want to damage the finish)

I havent done the other side, the bumpers or the boot yet, so ill get some on them as they are the worst affected areas
Gotta say the bit im most pleased about is my stone chip repairs - they look perfect
Ill try and get some tomorrow timo - im not going in too hard as the finish is quite soft, but ill see what I can muster for you
