Afternoon all,
Just signed up, been lurking for a while as the wife has a white 1.4 5dr.
Just sorted wheels so next up is lowering, seen NMavs is selling some H&R springs so thought I better sign up to get in touch with him
Pics to follow once the wheels are delivered and sent off to the powdercoaters

The golf is a auto 12v 2.8 vr6 just now, that's being replaced with 24v 2.8 from the mk4 4motion and also converted to manual
Shes happy for wheels and it to be lowered, I tried the wheels on the polo but see doesn't like any of them
17" 3pc OZ futura
17" 2pc OZ mito in carbon, also have a polished set
17" ABT V1s
Also tried out my 18" audi fat fives from my a4, too wide though

Thanks Nathan, the golf is a long term thing, got loads collected, just need to wait til the engine is in then I can start building it up
Well as you know, I've sorted suspension so will get that on soon, wheels are due for delivery Tuesday but could do with a luck of paint, then work out tyres and adapters.
Hopefully her new private plate will be with us this week too

It's a shame that the OZs aren't going on but the OEM ones look good, are they 17"?
Oh and the Audi wheels would have looked awesome

Yeah, 17x7.5, should fit well once adapters are on.
The audi ones are 18x8.5, too wide for the wife even though she loves the look
