haha true, fair comment mate, i dont mind them. I did want a gti one but looked for months and couldn't find one. this only cost me £30. Also not seen many on Lupo's, they seem to be more of an arosa thing so just thought i'd be different :mrgreen:

cheers mate really appreciate your comments :)

It was just one of those weeks where i had the impulse to buy loads of parts, i'm 50-50 on putting it on, either ways i'l paint/wrap it and then sell it on if i choose to

just in the process of doing them gloss black, they were silver but were curbed badly so i'm refurbing them. Not sure on the tyres, maybe Toyos? they're pretty low profile, but need to be as i will be lowering on the same day i put them on. Love tis loop but i've seen a Golf that i might be buying its a real bargain, so the loop may be up for sale soon :thumbsup:

ok so here they are after the final coat of lacquer, going to clean up and black restore the wheels this afternoon.

so the tyres are 195/45/r15 and 7j wde, yet with a tape meaure the rim and the tyre have a diameter of 21.5 inches altogether, and measure 8 inch wide.

the sport alloys i have on now are 20.5 inches diameter with tyres, and 7 inch wide. Plus with a drop of 35mm at back and 55mm at front, do we thnk they will fit :question:

no mate was a white tdi, always wanted white but the sale as fallen through. Got a tdi gearbox for £150 so will be fitting that this week, cheaper than reconditioning it :( i will also be full vinyl wrapping the car this year, going to find a rookie who will do it for cheap and i will help him
