only thing is i don't want it to look too much like a r32 don't get me wrong i like the r32 its just really not my cuppa tea if it looks too much like one e.g. i would never go down the replica route.

although i did see a white one i think on here that has them and they look really good :happy2:

R-Line are not R32 grilles :smiley: :smiley:

R-Line are some sort of separate tuning company that VW themselves use.

looking nice on those rims... do you live in a converted barn?

well yes and no the house part was 2 cottages that were knocked down and built back up using the majority of the same materials

but if you see in the 3rd pic the end lower bit were barn/stable kind of things that have been converted

oh and another question how do i go about getting cool signature from yourself in the future?

Cheers Tom

Its just a shame you cant get a set of originals in the correct offset.

What should the offset be cause these are the same offset as standard???

Wish i could justify the money for real ones but so much i can do with the change ive got :grin:

Post by: Top Cat on June 14, 2009, 04:41:43 pm: Its hard to tell from your photo's but if you have got a 8.5j wheel they are probably the same size offset as the monza II which is 51. that would give you a spot on stance. :happy2:
