at last I've found a VW mag... anywhoo, anyone seen the stealth Golf MK3 with standard alloys on it? anyone got any idea if they will fit the Polo MK3 without too much trouble or problems i.e. rolling circumference stuff.

cheers,

Dan

oh and I bought it for the MK3 Polo lowering guide in it....

n e chance of a write up on the lowering thingy! would be quite useful for everyone, or is it a picture by picture guide? then i may have to go out and buy it!

its a pictureand word guide.

Is it me or does there seem something dodgy about the "gt" they featured in the guide!?

L Reg But has no arch trims,early spec rear lights and no red bumper strip/gt front badge

I may write it up some time
or when I actualy get round to doing it in the summer, when I have money to complete it, because I have to get some new shocks and strut tops.

They aren't standard alloys for the mk3. they are polished audi TT competition alloys.

apart from being 5 stud, they are 7.5" x 17"

= won't go on a mk3 without mucho arch work

not sure about smaller versions, i doubt it though!
plus i doubt you could get any adapters that would allow the 5x100 pcd of a mk3 golf to go onto a 4x100 pcd of a mk3 polo

cos it ain't a 10minute job thanks to the mk3's suspension setup

I read it in the Library (WH Smith) and was gonna post it up for info - It looked bloody good to me - but I know jack s**t about MKIII's - I went from MKII to MKIV

soak all the bolts in penetrating oil the day before you're doing the job
