VERY nice!

They are great Hoversloth. You just need to do something about them wheels and that ugly front number plate holder!

Can you please answer one question though. Is the manual gearshifter illuminated in red? Or is it just red paint/plastic?

Well hopefully once i've saved a bit more I'll look at putting some 18's or 19's on it, however the 17's actually don't look too bad up close. From a distance they look a bit small though. The number plate holder doesn't really bother me too much yet, I actually thought it was standard part of kit.

The manual gear shifter itself does not light up but where the two front reading lights are (and where the alarm sensors / sunglasses holder is) there is a red light that points down to the shifter. I only first saw this when I was in a street with no street lghts so it's noticable but not distracting. It gives a warm red glow to the shifter!

Yeah - the std 17's are just looking a bit dated due to how cool the optional 18's look with their black painted 'interiors'. The front numberplate holder is part of the std kit, but since it only fits a single number plate correctly, most people end up with a situation like you have, where the number plate only covers a small portion of the holder and the fixing holes etc are still exposed.

Thanks for answering the question about the manual gear shifter, another person on this forum had asked the question. Those red lights were also in the MKV. They light up the interior just enough at night that you can see where everything is in the interior without having to turn on one of the proper lights.

Now I hope that the next drive you do is to get the car wrapped in 3M Paint Protection Film, cause otherwise the car ain't going to stay like that for long! lol

3M Paint Protection requires stripping the car down to the clearcoat prior to application, the car has had a layer of nanokote sealant + wax applied to it, which helps achieve the current look and depth of gloss. So I'm not really in any rush to remove either

[Corey_R]

yeah fair enough... hope you don't get any stonechips to spoil that look
