Those wheels and the slim black bumpers really suit.

If ever you think of selling that steering wheel let me know.

One thing is that you need to turn the front bumper end caps up the right way.

Haha - yeah, I realised after I took the photos. I flipped them around. I'm trying to source some CF ones

Been doing some work on the GTI lately!

- Swapped out the 'Vogtland' coilovers (which are for sale now) for a set of KW V3 coilovers, along with balljoint extenders and 28mm rear sway bar. Today I went and got wheel alignment. Car handles very well, with minimal body roll, can really push it thru corners without the worry of under steering into a front yard ha.

- Also found got myself a cheap set of 15' RS's ( thanks Ray!) that I will be rebuilding in my spare time.

- Next up some 205/50/15 Semi slicks, and some bigger brakes on the front. Leaning towars VR6/G60 front caliper - 280mm discs. The rear already has mk3 disc conversion.

Very cool. Can I ask which ball joint extenders you got?

[Browneye]

Ball joint extenders really need to be welded in to be safe for road use, similar to the kit SCCH sells. I hope for your sake that you don't have a bolt in kit as they are known to snap due to the cracking that can occur at the transition into the extended post. They also required the use of flipped tie rods, otherwise bump steer will be horrendous.
