Why didn't my car come with that wheel arch gap

[HA54SYM]

Because its not on coilovers

As VW are producing the front and rear bumpers as seen on the cup cars, and the lower placed side strips, I'd expect the R20 to look exactly the same, bar the exhausts.

I hope they put a sweeter set of rims on though than the motorsport style ones they just launched.

A rough translation for them being launched at Worthsee 2009.

The visitors of the GTI meeting can look at themselves the light alloy wheel on Volkswagen the conditions live at the Scirocco. Weight-optimized Volkswagen original accessories ten-star light alloy wheel Volkswagen models of new Polo, new gulf and Scirocco lends the sportiven and dynamic engine haven character. The narrow spokes are arranged V-shaped around the deeply lying center of the rim and make a good view possible on the brake assembly of the vehicle. The engine haven wheel GTR24 is available in the dimensions 17 tariff for Volkswagen the Polo (pitch diameter 100 mm, hole number of 5) as well as 18 tariff for the new Volkswagen gulf and 19 tariff for Volkswagen the Scirocco (both with pitch diameter 112 mm and hole number of 5).

I like the wheels i think they will look nice in the flesh! Also like the yellow roc on the transporter! Though don't think id have my car in that colour!

[morrissey]

I had v similar wheels to this on my last Audi and they are a complete pig to clean.
Yes they look great but if you don't like spending ages cleaning wheels, avoid - check out all of the nooks and crannies.
(Mine were silver - maybe you don't notice on the black finish)
