Fitted my BBS CK's
Then decided they don't look right on the mk7 as it's such a fussy car as far as wheels are concerned.  :cry:
I think the only wheels I've seen that I like the look of on the mk7 so far are the standard GTD 18's and the Santiagos or the hideously expensive CH-R's.
Back to the drawing board…  :angry:

Pics required for a second opinion   :wink:

Yeah where are the pics?!

I gave mine a real good clean today and slapped some more wax on it.

It would appear I've driven through a bath of tar this week and it took me ages to remove it :evil:

If I park my GTI in the space next to yours then you can clean mine at the same time. Great idea, no?  :laugh:

+1 for the wheels I think they really suit it, maybe a slight drop would help and convince you, any one good at Photoshop?

A word of warning for anyone changing to LED lights. The vanity mirror lights seem very picky and have got through 4 lots of cheap led lights. Back to the original bulbs I reckon!
