Thought seen as it was a good day i would get out wash my car, wax it and fit the new areo wiper and chrome tailgate strip. On monday 16th my GTi rear silencer is getting fitted. cant wait. here are the pics of the car so far.

Looks superb! and very clean!

How have you lowered it? What all else have you done?

Car is looking good wes where did you get your vw centre caps for the comps mate? I`m going to take the audi ones off mine soon looks a lot better with the vw ones, cheers

Dazza

they do look alot better with VW badge.

very clean how low is it?

Luckily enough the centre caps are just the standard 56mm ones that fit onto the common alloys such as Montreal II etc. Im changing mine over from the Audi ones to VW.

Cant stand one more person asking me why I have Audi wheels on my car.

nah im on about the twin tip back box from the gti exhaust

What model and year of Audi do them alloys come off? also are they direct fitment or are spacers needed?

Timos the alloys are off a TT. Few sets going on ebay "TT competition".

wes_keo have you got spacers on with the comps?

Looking nice same colour as mine, av just got a set of spring and comps

cheers for that chewy.

Found some on ebay

Looking at dropping my car 35mm with these alloys on, are there any issues i should be aware of, such as rubbing and arch clearence?

if so what do you recomend?

Dont think so, that what I a hoping to do in the next few weeks just got to get the alloys refurbed. But if there is an isue I am sure someone will correct me.

nah you should be fine with that. ive got 205/40 tyres and its been dropped 50mm and i have no problems so yours should be the same. also i havent put any spacers on my wheels either

May sound abit of a t**t but ar they 16's or 17's the TT comps?

these ones are the 17s. i dont think the 16s have the bowl shaped bit in the middle, there just flat
