Pewter Grey 2.0 GT - New wheels....
Went mad, scrapped my old golf and got this, a new pewter grey rocco, running winter pack, cruise control and parking sensors. it's a vw approved used effort and have only had it about 2 weeks now.
Ony mods so far is to take the Halfords style scirocco badges off the back and take the dealer sticker out the rear window. Oh yeah and a dent in the door courtesy of someone in Pak carpark
Polished it, blasted 2 layers of Megs #16 wax on it and took these photos,
Rest of the pics are here,

I'm loving it so far, am definitely up for modding it as well, but, this will be done over a longer period of cash strapped time and with the emphasis being on subtlety, just how is should be. So summat along the lines of, lower, wheels, bodywork, interior and may even pick up a few engine mods along the way when it's got a bit further into the warranty.

Cheers.
Fully buzzing off the car and the colour choice. Really looking forward to making it my own now.

See how much shorter the Bilstein made H&R monotubes are out of the box
Can't fault the kit at all

It's been ok so far, have tackled a few with no probs whatsoever. I'd say there's enough clearance to tackle most types with a bit of care

rear shot looks great as roc looks so aggressive from than angle, pewter is such an overlooked colour

The rear quarter view is definitely one of the best angles. Can't wait to get my wheels sorted and fitted now.

Yeah, it's the Ultra-low kit or Tiefe Version. I got it off ebay.de and it was delivered within the week.

Recently fitted 19" Rial Daytona Race's before Ultimate Dubs. Really happy with how they've turned out
Anyway, pics.....
Fitment is pretty much perfect and it's nice being able to see the wheel rim in the wing mirrors
For anymore pics, look in the flickr album;
