Thanks Guys, It hadnt been driven so has sunken a little now, not too sure about lowering as i dont really want a harder ride to be honest (crap back) The Tyres are just the Falkens that were aviaialble for £150 (for 4) as part of the deal, feel a little sloppy so might not be on them for long.

I like the look though, they stick out that little bit more which really fills the arches :happy2:

They look spot on Bud. The better offset and size make all the difference so much better than the standard pescara.  :wink:

Looks great. The Falken FK452s are pretty highly rated, but its recommended you get a few hundred miles under them before they start to grip properly.

Thanks for all your kind comments everyone, I think its settled down a little now, this first shot looks a bit better, second is an interesting angle (mmmm, there is a lot of clearance under there...)

If you've got a "bad back" and the ride on the GTI and Edition 30 can be a bit SHARP (!) -especially for passengers- it's worth going for Koni FSD's. BRILLIANT !! They transform the car.  Buy from Awesome and get someone to fit who knows what they are doing. Probably not a main dealer because they will be 2 or 3 times more expensive.  Hope this helps. I was a bit dubious for a time,thought about it,did it and have not regretted it for a minute.

Regards,   Paul.
