i reckon you need to bide your time given no one on the rocco forums have ditched the stock r rims yet, i'm sure someone will slap some 20's on with plenty of poke and stretch  :scared:

There's no way in hell a Golf R has landed in the lap of a backstreet breakers, none whatsoever. I think we all know how these parts were sourced.
Sideways yo!

So he has the wheels (unmarked), bumpers now not listed (or on completed) and also the complete interior.

I suppose anything is possible ...
