heres the best pics i have of them at the min, its hard because they dont really stand out much on the black paint, just when you look closely, probably gonna take the ones off the side as they are a little wonky.

I think it's a little too much. The handbrake is good, and I think around the grill like the re stripe on the GTi grills would look spot on 8)

Out of interest, how low are you? Am quite tempted to get Bora alloys after seeing how yours looks, but I reckon you have to be quite low to pull it off. I'm "only" going to be able to go -40mm

its a hard question to ask when people say how low are you, on coilovers, but id estimate, but looking at the arch gap, probably 50mm front and 60-70 rear, but thats a realistic guess, i get no rubbing at all with them as the offset is cool

Why only 40? I think you hit the nail on the head when you say you've got be low to pull them off. you considering springs over coilovers?

Can't afford (decent) coilovers mate, the best I can stretch to is springs and shocks.
