Coming along nicely Luke.
The splits will look great on your set-up.

Unfortunately my new weels do not clear the Porsche brakes. Sadly, using a spacer on them will push the wheel out more than i am comfortable with being ET35 already, so having to sell them on. Anyone interested, let me know.

They will look great on a GTI.

The car was treated to an enhancement detail today by DMR. Nathan and Gaz worked their magic on the car, and i have to say they have done a great job with the time they had to partially correct all the marks that the dealership had put into the paint during its time as a demo for the 6 months prior to me getting my hands on it.

If anyone in the Birmingham & Warwiskshire area wants their paint looking at, i cant recommend them enough. Even if you dont mind travelling. [:Y:]
I'll update with a link to the detailing world thread once the guys have done the write up.

Looks very clean that mate....white is a mint colour when clean.....a little bit of me wishes id of had a another white one (instead of red) on my new Gti. Red looks great when clean but is hard work. But, as all red vw owners know you get an extra 10 bhp with red cars so well worth it
I would like the removal of the factory swirls on mine so i can maintain it from there on in. Im only in Leicester too so will keep these in mind....make sure you post the thread on here too.

White is such hard work to keep clean too. Its clean, take it out for 5 minutes and its dirty again.

H&R 35/55 with 15mm front and 8mm rear spacers. Need to order new wheels to clear the brakes without spacers.

Your car looks so good! Wish I was able to get insured on a GTI cause they look so much better than a match and just adding the extra bumpers and stuff wouldnt feel the same. Keep up the good work

Well I'm sure it turns all the heads that you pass

Loving the brakes too, pity them BBS wheels didnt fit on, would have looked perfect

They fit on. Would urge another 6R owner to buy them for their own car. Would love to see them on a 6R. Just brake clearance that's the issue. Trouble is that the wife won't let me order the new wheels until these sell.

She's more of a petrol head than me mate. She just doesn't want us to be out of pocket naturally if we can't sell these. Can't understand why someone hasn't snapped my hand off though for genuine BBS splits.
