Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

                thanks guys, yeah i dont think i've seen another silver one either...

                it would look nicer on a set of 18's though, would like 19's but i dont think they fit?

                the white looks good, the black grille really jumps out! lets see more peoples Cars?

                  18's are about as big as you can go if you can stand to use 215/35/18 tyres - thats around as much as the gearing would be able to stand - if you were ot use 19's then to keep the gearing and speedo a bit accurate you would be using a tyre profile thats so low it would be just a strip of rubber glued onto the rim with almost no air in it

                  heres how the car would look with 18's - though mine is a 4 door







                  although i agree that mine would look a wee bit nicer with a drop - but im going to do the drop after the warranty period is over and when i decide to add some performance mods

                      Hey dayao and naughty do you know what offset you are running with your alloys???

                        18's look bigger on these than i expected, so they should be ok.
                        low profile rubber doesnt really bother me, the tyres on my old car were 275/30/20 so thats about as low profile as you get, and they werent a problem...

                        cars look good guys, good work...

                          the offset is 48 i think. front wheels were rubbing against the brake caliper so i had to put 5mm spacers.

                            sorry nope - but i will try and find out for you

                            i didnt have to use any spacers though - they just slotted right in and worked perfectly

                              Awesome mate thank you, that would be really helpful! And could you please find out how wide the wheels are too - 18x7" or 18x7.5" etc
