Yeah I know what you mean. They look good standard. Always loved the rings though. Also wouldn't the projectors make the HID's look even better?

They would, i had an idea of getting angel eyes but once i replaced my headlights with much better condition ones ;) I fell in love with them again, plus the HIDs look soo good on standard headlamps. Just my opinion tho mate :D

You should get coilovers with the money instead, give it a nice tidy drop, then your will look the dogs danglies

UK-POLOS.NET. Thought you said you were after one. Might not have been you then? :oops:

Do you know the measurements of standard VW alloys, such as our SE ones. Only as my tyres aren't looking that good and may replace them all so might aswell get a cheap alloy/tyre set.

Our SE alloys are 14". Your tyres should be 185/55/14

I'm after a uk polos sticker but i want an internal one, do they do them ?

I'll have to see what it looks like when you put it in :)

Let us know what wheels etc your after and we can advise you, if you go for 15" wheels you need 45 profile then your speedo wont be out :)

Will do.

Cheers mate. Only gonna get some if all my tyre's need replacing and cant afford nothing too special. Just something a bit smarter than the SE wheels.

It makes no difference does it? Either order ones from a TT or some from a Mk VII GTi?

Also are the new GTi pedals a direct replacement?
