i bought my little gti from ebay as a xmas present for my gf (mistralshinng)

then proceeded to modify her so bought her some coilovers
she owns horses and we shared the car unit!!! she did this while comming home
$460 pounds worse off :S
cracked sump/// not something you can get cheap.. be warned to low+woman driver = big bill lol[u]
so my friend took her away to get fixed ,said times :C
so to solve this miss hap i bought her something abit harder to distroy on the dirt roads
her beast
keeps her happy at least and safer for the kids

they look nice though, i would keep them polished like that, look good as they are

Looking good... However I think the spoiler and bonnet ain't gonna work and the White nimmies are better than the other alloys.

custom hubcentrics are on order because of the bore sizes and obviously the pcd is converted from 4x100 to 4x108

#13: Re: project 8 ball :pic heavy Author: Uz, Location: No Man's LandPosted: Sun Aug 28, 2011 4:01 am ---- You do realise your still not gunna be able to fit those PA's to the GTi as hubcentric adapter will push offset completely off.

Thanks for your concern but all measurements have been taken Into account and all appropriate modifications are being made and it's not cheap!! but it's the cost of being unique Last edited by 00budham00 on Sun Aug 28, 2011 5:09 am; edited 1 time in total
