--- Quote from: big al on January 06, 2012, 09:25:37 am ---Sounds like it will look real nice once done, not a fan of the wheels and the tremendous amount of poke though, when you get the coilovers fitted are you going to get the tyres stretched? Otherwise you may get some nasty rubbing/grinding noises going on.

Yeah there won't be as much poke and i agree these wheels aren't the best for the car but they were free and only cost £60 to be powdercoated which i cant complain with :)
Unfortunatly the GTI exhaust won't fit no matter what, the backbox is a lot 'deeper' than the standard one so it will sit 4 inches lower than it should, so i'm going to have to sell that and think up a new plan for an exhaust, any suggestions?
Andy:
strange the gti back box won't fit as a few people have done it ok---get a milltek on it
skard:
Sorry if I've missed it, but what car is the exhaust off? It looks very different to the mk5 GTI backbox I have.
Is it just the depth of it causing issue or does the hangers not match up too?
Andy:
looking at the pic of the exhaust,you will have to chop the middle box of and just fit the back box
Dave_TDI:
Backbox is a lot bigger than standard GTI, as my friend didnt tell me its off his dads edition 30 not his standard GTI :signLOL:
I need the flatter type back box to fit on, so i'm on the hunt for one, in the meantime this ones going on ebay :)
Hopefully i will find a normal GTI one this weekend and get it on early next week, the guy in the garage said he would just chop the tips off and weld onto my standard backbox but it would be a shame to chop up a perfectly good exhaust and it probably won't look good anyway tbh, ah well.
On another note Awesome GTI are doing remaps for £150 until further notice, might take a trip down in the morning :happy2:
