That looks fantastic Ian.

I can't think of one single instance of fitting Pretoria's to a Golf making it look worse.

Let my brother-in-law drive it, only my second time in the passenger seat, was very comfy :smiley: We drove to the VW dealer in Northallerton so I could have a cheeky look at a 3 door TR Clubsport for sale. It looked great with the Belvedere wheels, had clearly had some work done on the ns door as the black stripe was missing (but was there in the advert images) but was very smart all the same. Tempting but doesn't seem worth the cost of changing. Oh, and my brother-in-law enjoyed his drive particularly the torque, he was surprised at how quickly it picked up in sixth at relatively low speeds. His car is a 2016 hybrid Lexus GS.
2019 Oryx White 5dr TCR.

Was - 2015 Tornado Red 3dr GTI PP, manual, Santiagos, Audi short shifter.
