Yeah thats was probs me.

Was it a week day?

My girlfriends mum lives up there.

Was just coming home from a scan to see my little boy

[Callum]

Yeah was a Wednesday, early afternoon, I was in my work truck and saw you!

I travel the UK a lot and can count on one hand how many Mk7 GTi's I've seen on the road! Was good to see one!

Congrats on the little man dude, exciting stuff!

Been a little slow getting these pics up.

Been looking for a new set of wheels for over 6 months and found these
Too many Polo's with TT comps although they do suit the car i had to have a change.

7 x 17 front
9x17 rear
Porsche Boxster Twists

Feel free to let me know what you think as i know they aren't going to be to everyone's taste.

Excuse the phone pics forgot my camera.







Also fitted some Mk5 GTI front and rear headrest's









Also got a cheap set of Brembo's that required some TLC.





I was just going to rub them down and re lacquer them





But decided they had to be fully redone so split them



Then sand blasted them back to bare metal





And blasted the pad retainers and pins



Put them back together





Coat of primer





Then few coats of red high temp paint









Stickers on although not happy with it so will be revisiting this





Then gave them a coat of lacquer







Just need to get a set of brackets made to fit with my 312mm discs and some braided lines and get them on

All comments welcome.

Six speed was a must for me.

Cant believe vw didn't do this from the factory.

Thanks Matt_123.

Can't see any problem you painting them red as they're completely different wheels.

Cant wait to put the brembo's on think it will make a big difference in the breaking (although very happy with the 312's and Tarox pads) and will look great behind my wheels

[matt_123]

yeah they'll look hot behind red wheels!
and yeah think my winter project is to change the colour of the monza's lol for the OEM + look haha
did you get yours done professionally like refurbed ? do you know of anywhere good to get wheels done??

I bought the wheels like it but have the contact details for where they were done in Huddersfield

They were powder coated and then they lacquered.
They have an amazing shine

The company do stuff for Ferrari and big end cars so the finish has to 100%+

They are called Unicoat 01484 842 123. The guy is called Paul.

What condition are your wheels in?

They can sort out minor grazes but not
