Tryed the comps on and as you can see they look lost  :grin:  reason I think 18" are in order..



Think it will look fine with some coilovers on. I haven't seen many in this colour looks really good! What the colour called?

General rule on the edition mk4 thread is noohing smaller than a 17. Always think the merc amg 5 holes loom good on these.

Also be interested in how it goes as I keep looking for a darkpumper, but kept looking at the pd130,s which were a shed load more to buy.

The TT Comps would look ok with better / correct size tyres. :afro:

Im not sure of the colour but it is one of the reasons I bought it even though it needs a few bits paint wise.The wheels would suit it more if it was lowered and as Wayne said bigger tyres but I need to draw back as much money for my mk3 and ive decided to leave them on that as they suit it well and a good selling point on the car.I am trying to buy some genuine Audi RS6 alloys which im hopeing wont make lots of money but ill have to see.Today though I did do my first mod  :grin: the heater control panel was a bit tatty so I tryed some carbon wrap on it and it didnt come out to bad lol.Ive also ordered a new set of inside door handles as mine are scratched etc.Im gonna throw some heat at the rear spoiler tomorrow see if I get any movement lol.Still loads to do but I do enjoy it tbh I was also shocked at how much my tax was for 12 months £125 that really pleased me  and she is averaging round town about 46 to 48 mpg  :cool: thanks for the comments and a few piccys still havent washed it  :grin:






Waiting on my new door strips to be painted and then fitted on the drivers side.

Around 45mm then you need adjustable droplinks.
