Title: Hello from Scotland
Post by: coullstar on November 25, 2010, 11:58:38 pm: Evening. Just bought a bog standard more door Shadow blue Gti last week and im loving it. Ive had a long line of VW's before and needed to own a Mk5 Gti at some point. Its my daily car so will be doing just a few things like springs, wheels and maybe a remap. Bought some new wheels aready but they wont be going on till after winter.

Post by: coullstar on November 26, 2010, 12:27:23 pm: Thanks. I wanted something OE looking but slightly different. Started looking at A6 or A8 wheels but couldnt find any I wanted within budget. I also wanted something easy to clean as Im not one of the detailing type folk. Ended up buying some CH style replicas with black inserts and diamnond cut faces. I know they weught more than real ones and are not the same material properties but I liked the look so I can live with the slightly harsher ride.
