Not sure if anyone can help if you see this first, posted in the styling section but will post in here too.

"First of all, sorry!!

Right, I'm about to buy a set of bbs rs for the gti. Just want clarification on the offsets and what they'll be like, rubbing wise etc etc if anyone's had similar.

Fronts 8" wide et26, 165/45 tyres

Rears 8.5" wide et22, 185/45 tyres

Any input would be brilliant."

Right, I've bought them :) I drop my car off next Friday to plush automotive to get the air fitted.

If they're too wide at the back, I'll change the 8.5 to a 7.5 and put them on the front. Can't wait, literally been looking for a set of rs for ages and these are pretty much prefect ;)

Here they are on the guys car.

No updates on the car apart from an oil change and fluid change ready for the winter months. Been ordering parts over the last week.

Got these through this morning.

Right. It's been a long time since I've updated this! Picked the car up yesterday and wow. Totally over the moon! Accuair elevel and ilevel fitted and its just unbelievable. So so happy!

Need to get some shims on the rear as its sitting on the tyres on full drop but apart from that I think it's perfect. In my eyes anyway :)

Also got an MFD delivered whilst the car was having the work done, I put it in this morning but the screen was acting like this:

CAD83242-7CF1-47D1-8C37-90769C224F15-168

If you can see, the whole screen was scrolling across as if it didn't have signal. I'm asuming it needs some sort of antenna?

Cheers. Brad.

no!!1 it needs no antenna i had this issue on mine, the screen moves, and from what i can figure is because of it moving it can cause the connection on the screen to become loose, what i used to do to fix it was give the screen a firm (not hard) tap and it brought it back to normal!

this picture is just amazing!! this car is amazing! anthracite is definitely the better gti colour that or raven blue!

It did! Tapped it a couple times and gently pushed the screen in and it's perfect!

Thanks about the picture, I'll get some better snaps tomorrow hopefully if the weather is nice to me :)

Thanks to RossB I've had some camber shims delivered yesterday, going to fit them tomorrow to tuck the rears as it sits on the tyres. Also had a new tow eye cover delivered as one fell of the other day :(!

Will post some pics when I'm fitting the shims tomorrow!

Brad.
