New demo
« on: 24 August 2013, 14:44 »
I was driving home from work last night and I noticed a new tornado red 5 door GTI running on 19's at my local dealers so I popped in :laugh:. I have to say it looked fantastic. Red is an excellent colour it looked very smart in the metal :smiley:. They had it parked right beside the night blue demo I test drove a month. Red wins hands down!

PS it was my first time seeing the 19's in the flesh and they really look the part. The only down side they will be a b;llocks to clean.

Cleaning of the 19 inch wheels is part of the reason I did not go for them.  I currently have 7 spoke white wheels on my Civic Type-R and they are an absolute pain.  I wanted an easier time of it this time around so went for the 5 spoke Austins instead.  I have read about a lip on the Austin wheels on this forum making it awkward to clean.  But it surely cannot be any worse than having the Santiago's with their intricate design to clean. 

Although on the flip side they do look great.

The austins are a bit awkward to clean but they really are a nice set of alloys. The silver against the gloss black really sets them off and makes them look  :cool: . I didn't like the old austins with the pure round circles but these new ones are really lovely  :smiley:

The "old Austins" were called Monza Shadows, and before that on the Mk5, Monza II's.  :wink:
