The mini I never really jelled with:

HAHA you can say that again iv'e just booked it in for £600 worth of work to have the full front painted and both of the rear quarters to get rid of little chips etc. So then the car will be pristine.

Welcome to the forum :happy2: what sort of wheels you thinking?

At the moment I'm really fancying some merc alphards or oz mae's think the oz's would look sweet on a Mk5 and I'm yet to see one with them on the :happy2:

Not the Merc's! :sick: :sick: :sick:
Loads of ideas in the "Wheel" thread....

Ooo they look sweet! I will probably change my mind loads of times! My mates got a set of mae mono blocks in 18 x 8.5 so I might try those on if I can prise them off him.
-
Nope, not been to any meets yet, only owned the GTi around a month :)
-
Theres the lowdown meet is every month on the meadowhall retail park, there's usually a good turnout
-
May pop along to the next one....although my totally stock car may not be too interesting to look at lol
-
Everyone always seems to be welcome,standard GTI's are sweet! a lot nicer than a crappy modded mk3 polo ;)
