Thinking about either Coilovers or wheels to finish the ride off, as im pretty happy with everything else... what do you guys think?

Go for the wheels, your car look good with the suspension it has.

Looks v.good as it is, if you could do something extra I reckon some light tints would really suit your car. I know thats next on my list!

i personally think your car sit absolutely perfect on your current wheels...the p.shop looks good too but i think your current ones are the daddies.

Costs too f*****g much man, maybe the bumpers yes but the sides and that will mean the whole cars pretty much been resprayed, not something a buyers gunna like!!

True I suppose, it's easy on Photoshop, you don't have to respray anything

Could they not just match the paint and spray what has been smoothed on the side?

Like Chips Away do?

Na, they got to spray upto the windows, then you get all kinds of problems like overspray and pealing...

Thats a sh1tter then, like I say, it's a shame it's not like Photoshop and you can't just smudge it out.

I assume those are Keskin KT4's p'shopped onto your ride. Very good choice of a lovely wheel IMO, which would really suit the Gti.

However with 7.5 x 16 ET35 are you likely to experience any rubbing issues and therefore need arch work doing?

From what i have read, you are ahppy with the suspension as is, therefore I would suggest going for the wheels.

Your OEM shocks are likely to wear out at some point being on -50 springs, but you can just replace these with Koni/Biltstein's if/when that point in time arrives. If considering coilovers, I would only look at a quality product such as KW1's.

nope et 35 pretty much spot on and 7.5 x 16 will take a polo lowered more than 60mm
