As requested my friend, your car.

17in Santa Monicas - Airbag suspension - smoothed sides - deeper side skirts - deeper front bumper - tints - and the bumpers been smoothed into the bodywork.

Hope you like

dont lik the smoothed in bumpers.... this sort of thing isprone to cracking... (yes I know it's only a pshop...)

Why airbags?? Just ride on coilovers that low all the time!!!

Santa Monicas are what im going for, looks really cool at night. Only problem is they only come in 215s. Too wide for the 9n but they look so good

Have i mentioned how nice they look at night all polished up

You can change the tyres you know

Looks good mate, would have it a bit higher though, and lose the skirts. You know how much I like the OEM look

I know this

unless your going for replicas then Santa Monicas should roll on 215s as thats how VW have it and i dont think 205s would look right. my Friend has 215s on a Fiesta and has lost the ability to full lock. 8 point turn is the word

Wouldn't have thought it would matter as long as the wheel was no more than 7.5J width

As far as I know mole hasn't told me of any problems with the RS4 stylee rims he had off me and they wear either 205/40/R17's (on A2) and 225/40/R17's on the old shape A3...

Best person to ask is probably toxxin as he had TT wheels on his Ibiza I suppose.

(toxxin, are you there! )

DISCLAIMER - this is a rush job so nelson can see what the rims look like, currently working on one a bit neater...

PS you need to get these wheels!

That looks the bizz mate. But KarlM's P/S of your car with the Santa Monicas had that "edge". Plus polished alloys have their own flair at night. Though this is an aqquired taste.
