you do have adapters for those wheels if they are 4x100?
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

Did to do an insurance quote to see how much your premium goes up if you made a claim before having the spray work done?

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
