Those wheels and the height suits it perfectly! Very nice! What offset are the wheels?

Hi Agi. thank you very much. they are ET35 all round
Re: Lukes R
Those wheels would look even better with oem centre caps instead of the TD ones, they do fit, better still get the mk7 ones which have the carbon effect

Re: Lukes R
After the last few updates being just pictures I actualy have a proper update. I have finally gone stage 2+. Which I am very excited about. So today I had the following fitted
So 1st up is the superpro anti lift kit. The difference these make is insane. Steering is much more responsive. No wheel hop any more. Over all just more confidence in taking a corner more aggressivly (on track of course )
Next up is the money shot for me. An APR high pressure fuel pump (refurb not brand new). This allowed me to go stage 2+ (still APR of course) havnt really had chance to open the car up as of yet due to poor traffic on the on the way home from the garage but initial thought are WOW. More of a review when I get chance to test it properly.
And last but not least is a superpro lower torque mount for the gearbox. This stops the gearbox swaying under load. It definatly does the job but it does add some vibration into the cabin. Not much though. Only really feel it when idle or a very low speeds. I find it a pleasant vibration though lol. Makes me feel more connected to the car.
So thats all I had done today. Not much lol but I am going back in about two weeks for another major mod. Anybody fancy a guess what (and no guesses from ppl who already no please lol)

Re: Lukes R
Hahahaha pretty much asquires next big thing is a big brake kit going on. Been ummming and rrrrrrring about which set to go for but finally settled for the forge big brake kit. 356 discs with 6 pot calipers. I have so much power now that the standard brakes just dont do the jobany more. Intercooler will be next year jack
Re: Lukes R
Absolutely stunning!! Wasn't too sure about the spoiler to start with but as I read through the posts and seen more pictures it does look really good!
Alloys and the stance really steal the show though. Good work!!

Re: Lukes R
I am glad you did too!! lol.
I was thinking of getting a blue R but your car has swayed me again!! My current car is black and felt i wanted a change in colour but maybe not now.
