dummies guide to whats differnt
john_o:
all good advice :happy2:
Mark M's car looks great because it has 19's (so much better than ed30 18's which tend to look small and fall into the arches) and dropped.
[edit : Jays right they are 18's! does have spacers though and parada tyres which have beefy sidewalls ]
rear wiper delete really tidies the mk5 rear end too
Joes is different again, its 18's but an even bigger drop , R32 rear :drool: , no front number plate (!) conspire to make it even fatter and lower.
see also Greenouses spacer thread where just filling the arches makes a very subtle but noticeable difference!
Visually they both give the same 'look' , which seems to balance some aspects of the mk5 shape. :happy2:
joesgti:

they are ed30 alloys i think. just the drop/colour/tyreshine makes them look bigger! ;)

THANKS FOR THE HEADS UP. AM LOOKING AT MY -oops caps!!
first gti to buy for ten plus years and have never modded a car before so most of the jargon and technology is alien to me.
but i,m a quick learner and i love what i see.
luckily :sad: i,ll have very few spare green to spend for a while as i,m crucifying myself for next 2 months to get this car if it comes off.will be living off cans of tuna and baked beans i think for next 8 weeks!
but i wanna change the wheels i think to ed30s and the stance 'oh and the grill and its already got xenons.
and even if i dont add valence then i,ll be very tempted to get the bumpers sprayed up to match.
is there a thread on coilovers?
fanx again guys any more info or threads pointed at please feel free!
