Thanks guys and gal.
I’ll let you into an embarrassing secret, the car has just passed the 5600 mile mark. And it’s 19 months old!!
Because I'm sad and seem to have hundreds of fingers (common West Country trait) I just did a quick calculation and worked out that you're doing almost exactly the same average mileage as me!
1765 in six and a half months.
My old maths teacher would have been proud of that calculation had he not decided that I was a lost cause and vanished into the boys toilets with a skipping rope and several bottles of sleeping pills.
I've never liked the Belvederes on my own car but they look great in that shot.
A couple times now I've seen pics of Belvederes on non-Clubsports and they look really good.
A bit of lowering can help I guess.
I think it's the height of the Clubsport rear spoiler that makes the wheels look small on the ED40.
But they look really good in that pic on the GTI
I too wasn't a big fan when I first saw them
But I took a bit of a gamble - my Austin's when I bought the car had two wheels needing a refurb, then i had a very light brush with a kerb avoiding someone on the wrong side of the road meaning 3 wheels needed work. As long as I had the car I'd been looking for a set of OEM 19's and just couldn't find a set at sensible money.
This set came up for sale, barely covered a 1000 miles and at very sensible money so I took a punt. Glad I did too
I just keep looking at your pics and thinking how good they look on a non ClubSport GTI with that bit of lowering.
Are you going to run spacers too?
I'll assume you've not got any fitted already and it looks good as is.
