steve200 Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 Thanks The Modernlines were 15x8s and the BBS's are 15x7.5s at the front, et20 and the rears are 15x8s, et 14, so should be spot on hopefully!Car looks mint Will you not have alot of poke on et14 on the rears?, have you had any work on the arches? Look forward to seeing pics of them fitted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossB Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 Lol Get it done mate, I just had enough of the stone chips everywhere, ruined the car I paid £360 for the bonnet, bumper and wings which I thought was pretty reasonable?Not really up on my bodyshop prices but that sounds fair enough to me, I know on my own car it would make a big improvement so it would probably be £360 well spent!I'm at ET20 on my rears with 15x8's. I know Ad's running a decent amount of negative camber so he should probably get away with ET14? Should look sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ad.... Posted May 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 Car looks mint Will you not have alot of poke on et14 on the rears?, have you had any work on the arches? Look forward to seeing pics of them fitted Cheers! I didn't have any poke when I had the modernlines on, they were flush with the arch, so may have about 10mm poke with the BBS's going to run 185/45s but haven't had archwork done so might be next on the cards! lolNot really up on my bodyshop prices but that sounds fair enough to me, I know on my own car it would make a big improvement so it would probably be £360 well spent!I'm at ET20 on my rears with 15x8's. I know Ad's running a decent amount of negative camber so he should probably get away with ET14? Should look sweet!Thanks man, I'd highly recommend it, makes the car look so much fresher. Fingers crossed the rears don't scrub aye this makes me want a Red GTI next more than anything. haha damn you.perfect Thanks for the compliment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ad.... Posted June 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Thanks for the kind comments I'm not happy with the back end though, its not low enough, yet the adjuster is out too! Don't know what else I can do really? When I"ve saved up a little bit I'm going to get a gloss roof and mirrors I think, I know everyone does it but it should look trick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what though!Thanks Yeah I might just cut my standard springs and see what happens, no harm done if it doesn't work lol!NOOOOO!!!You don't think the contrast will work? How about mk5 gti seats instead then? mate this looks absolutely spot on, I like!Cheers man Looks perfect What tyres are you running on the front?Thanks I'm running the same all round mate, 185/45s Edited June 4, 2010 by Ad....

marcusgrant Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 Personally im not a fan of having different coloured roofs. It wouldnt look bad though, suppose it would work well with the wheels. I just love the red-ness of it!! looks very smart.mk5 gti seats are always a winner to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bithmeister Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 bbs's just lovely though personally think 8" are to wide on a gti have tried many combinations and have found 7.5" to be perfect witha little arch work,they can be slammed you may have rubbage issues if you go any lower it does look awsome though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

99hjhm Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Very nice, black roof is one of those things that never works yet people still do it cause the last person did it.
