Just noticed, it's got front mud guards

Oh yes, so it has... and they look quite good actually.

You gonna try again?

I bought both front and rear mud flaps... but the rear ones dont fit... sigh... apparently the GTI's bump is bigger than the standard Mk6s... Front fits ok... Am sorting out with Wolfsburg since I specifically mentioned the flaps are for the Mk6 GTI...

The Helios wheels come on the VW Phaeton. You can probably buy replicas though. The genuine Phaeton wheels are very rare and very expensive. Hardly anybody has bought a Phaeton let alone changed the wheels on one (a few footballers maybe?  )
Personally I don't like them on the mk6, but I'm old and miserable  Seriously though they are either 19 or 20 inch and very wide and completely the wrong offset. It's very fashionable in the UK to have tyres at a dangerous stretch (in other words too narrow for the rims they're on) and the Helios provide this. However to drive with a set of them on a bumpy road I'd expect the car to be all over the place. They would be fine for showing off at car shows though I guess. They'd be even better left on a Phaeton.
