Put some BBS lookalike wheel trims on today

only temporary until i put my alloys on (alloys not going on for a while yet because im learning to drive)

I think they look pretty good considering their trims!
What do you all think for the time being

Took my spoiler and handles into a local bodyshop earlier

pretty expensive but im prepared to pay for it if they do a good job! Also, managed to find a place that will shotblast and paint my bbs centres for a great price

Will upload some pics when there done

Looks great Greg! Do you know did they have to drill any holes for the spoiler or was it just put on with adhesive?
Seems as though you're doing everything I wish I did with my 6n2

Its fitted as an OEM spoiler for the GTI, which is two drilled holes with special seated nuts on them to pull the spoiler in, and fixings where the existing brake light would be.

Looking good greg, the spoiler is a nice addition for sure! How're you getting on with the driving? BTW there is a picture of one of my BBS RXii's in its previous state (the before pic, obviously), or at least its a picture alex sent me about 2 years ago when he flogged me his refurbed set lol.

Have you had to inform the insurance about these mods? Or do they not count?
I never know when to phone or not.
Cars looking good though mate!
How many more lessons do you think you'll need?!
