    Plans sound good mate.

    Should definitely get a primered Golf GT grill so you can colour match it, makes it looks so much better than the crome. While you're there, get some GLI side skirts and rear valance. They've got some good headlights on TM Tuning and as for the tail lights, let me know with what you go for. I've been looking for a tasteful set for a very long time now without finding anything.

    Sounds like I'm talking to myself about 6 months ago Good luck with it all

    Ps. Found these lights on eBay. I wouldn't mind them but it appears to be for LHD models only. That and the indicators might flash red instead of amber (unforunately illegal here).

      So the 16's have been removed and cleaned for their new owner,

      I'm borrowing dad's 17" Audi S-Line wheels for the week whilst we wait for the 18" tyres to arrive, hopefully by the end of the week.

      Couple of photos i shot after a clean and i know it looks like a monster truck, i already have the springs and they are going in once the 18's go on.

        Well i received a call this afternoon informing me that our 18" tyres for the new wheels were in.

        So i booked it in for 8am tomorrow morning, Woo Hoo!

        Now it's probably about time to let you see what wheels we have chosen for the new jetta to roll on.

        So here they are,

            Such a great choice of wheel!!!
            I am suprised that more people don't choose them...

            Did you buy from a dealer? Or did you get from OS?

                We brought the wheels when we purchased the car.

                I told them i wanted the 18's but to supply rims only as a family friend of ours has a tyre shop.

                It does suprise me that not alot of people have them,
                although oem 18's aren't cheap.

                          needs to be lower lol

                          in all seriousness, looking very OEM +

                            OEM+ FTW!

                            Looks brilliant mate, but will look even better once the new springs go in (or have you put them in and they havent settled yet?)

                              Lovely car but the wheels don't do it for me.

                              I would have gone a set of lambo gallardo fronts as these look like cheap copies even though they are oem wheels.

                                I havn't installed the springs yet, dad's flat out at work so I can't get onto a hoist till later this week.

                                Next thing to tackle is to de-badge the jetta logo on the rear for a cleaner look and get rid of the ugly E-TAG bracket,
