I don't wanna come accross as 'plugging' but the finish on the allys are as such that when they are pristinely clean, they look bigger. Just the opposite of black wheels sometimes looking smaller!

I got the blue flame because I liked the tips more than the miltek and everybody has miltek. I went for the resonated system sound more fruity on tick over and a bit louder all round but not to much and no drone at motorway speed. Good quality well made system would recommend them.

Post by: Top Cat on March 09, 2010, 11:51:47 am: I spent most of Yesterday with Mike's car and surprisingly to me. :surprised: it has become my favourite Mk 5 just pushing Greenouse's Eddie into second place.

This car is amazing, its in pristine condition. :notworthy:

Great spec from the Factory, DSG, Recaro's Bla bla bla. Stunning colour, the only one for the R32 in my opinion. :party:
Perfect ride height on V3 KW's and the gloss black front + the anthracite wheels looked the Shiz. Dont think i need to mention what it sounded like with the blueflame, though a non-res version would be my choice, still sound great though. :drool:

I could not help going over and looking at this car all day :ashamed: I have seen hundreds in my time but this one is a bit special IMO. :love:
Title: Re: My DBP R32
Post by: andrewparker on March 09, 2010, 12:33:46 pm: I've got to say, it would look absolutely stunning with gloss black wheels, spoiler and mirror caps.
