New car: R32
Shoduchi:
Have you considered fitting the Forge BBK and same size size spacers to both axles? That would make your Omanyt clear the brakes and keep the same handling, right? :thinking:
Not sure how much space your Forge BBK require but I thought it's one of the best to fit behind OEM wheels. :smiley:

Supercharger would be nice, but there's just no cheap way of doing forced induction on a n/a car.

milltek is going on but after xmas or might just get the the tail pipe ends replaced

It'll sound mega. That's one thing you don't get with a GTI, although I quite like the noise mine makes with lots of boost.
Are you putting the Forge brakes on it then?

if i put the forge brakes on i will have to either put the bbs on and just think it will spoil the driven of the r32 as i will drive it like mrs daisy :signLOL:Just going to lower it on h&r springs and do the exhaust

Fair enough. Although you could always consider getting some nice light 18s in a low offset so you can fit the calipers and keep some comfort. Sell the CKs and you shouldn't be too much out of pocket. They'd be ideal for stopping a heavier car like the R32.
But there's value in keeping things close to OEM I suppose. Just wonder how long it'll be before you get the modding itch and go all out on the R32....

i sold the orig wheels and brakes so would have to go hunting for more wheels and keeping the r32 as orig as possible,but in sayin all that a super charger might be nice :signLOL:

would need spacers for these wheels and not a fan of spacers
Shoduchi:
I'm also not a fan of spacers, most likely for the same reasons as you and them being illegal in my country. Just a pity that you made the investment on them and now you can't use them in your new car. :sad1:
