High and low if I wire them up in that way. But won't be doing that.

Main thing is they all you to run HID in the correct manor ie in a projector and not the reflector we have on our stud headlights. Plus the look super cool

Re: Black Polo GTI 6 Speed. Question page 41. Help

Post by 9N3 Turbo »

Been a while since I have said anything as the car is currently sitting on axle stands with no boots and no tax :evil:

Things are moving along though.

I have received my new wheels but have a dilemma.

They don't clear the Brembos.

I could revert back to 312's or use 25mm spacers and have arch work done in metal and in keeping with the original lines for a good price as I needed to paint the front of the car anyway due to stone chips.

What would you guys do?

Put smaller brakes and bolt wheels on?
Or use spacers and have arch work done?

I think I know the answer but would like some input

Thanks. :mrgreen:

That sucks :(
But for me that would be an easy choice, I'd get the arch work done as you've got the wheels you want and the breaks are VERY needed and when the arches are wider it will force you to get bigger wheels which again is need for grip and stuff :)
