Hi people. My Gti goes in for leather 2moz. cost me Â£1500 they gonna have it for 5 days :S i get some pics of it posted when i get it back. Got my eyes on some 17" rims There an ACE wheel and they look like the BBS rims. Also after a BMC filter for it if any one can point me in right direction. THanks guys

God damn thats alot, my TT seats + rear seat trimming + door cards + steering wheel + gearknob isnt close to that.

I'd have said that was pretty average for a full interior re-trim inc. door cards etc. Guess it depends on the quality of hides used, the number of colours, and any detailing. My mate paid around that for his Mk2 gti from memory, but that was 3 shades, and they were sparco race seats.

Car has gone in for leather. Get it back on saturday i cant wait. Its having 2 colours and a bit of Detailing. Door cards are being done. He also installing my custom Xbox in the dash, I have Ordered my BNC CDA filter which should arrive 2moz wiv a bit of luck. Been lookin at some wheels here is a link to what i am after. Been Quoted Â£600 for these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/17-Ace-218-Alloy- ... dZViewItem wiv Toyo Proxy tyres 195/ 40/ 17.

Not sure what to do. I have these on at the moment http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/17-Ace-216-Alloy- ... dZViewItem in 16".

Any recomendations for wheels plslet me know.

Thanks guys

nice wheels

personally i think 17" is too much for the gti - it looks alot better with 15" or 16" in my opinion

I agree 17" make the car look like a tractor

17s can look good if the car is lowered enough!!
just check out CalvinGTI's car!! that looks mint!
although if i had a polo gti, i'd go upto 16s and thats where i'd stop!

I think Jordan's is by far the best example I've seen of a GTi with 17's.

Posted: **Thu Mar 23, 2006 5:54 pm**

16's is the max i'd stick on mine

Please dont get 17s, will slow it down so much...
