Well the weather has been getting mingin later, so decided to stick my old alloys on!

They are rubbing a fair bit due to the profile of the tyres and the slightly lower offset, but in all honesty....yeh they are defo not my style anymore, but think they look orite....especially for winter. I'v also raised the suspension slightly to minimise the scrubbing. They are stil for sale like, but just couldnt be assed with steelies.

Note the lack of splitter and wing mirror :roll:

Poor polo!!! :cry:

Nah there is somebody interested, but they have to wait till after the new year etc to build the funds back up. But they told me not to wait around if there is more interest.

Why are you selling them white ones on the bay? they would be decent winters.

They are 16's mate and yeh they fit straight o....like a glove! I'm still desperate for the splitter. Get the front looking mean again!! Lol nice splitter it is, but need the GTI one! A bit more OEM.

I didnt have many probs with speed bumps. Large ones yeh, but it all depends on how low you are really.

Dam rite my man.....finding it difficult to find one tho! like rocking horse s**t and im not paying Vags prices.....bloody ridiculous for a mirror! so im consulting the Germans since they will have a stubby on the right and side as standard due them being left hand drive :wink:

The mirrors are getting sprayed black anyways :P Stealthy!
