Title: New look mk4 Golf GTi
Post by: JamieGTi on 19 February 2009, 09:15
Considering a change with my car.

I've been trying to sell it for about 2 weeks now and i've had 3 time wasters. 2 which didn't turn up. 1 which turned up put a deposit down then claimed he had been made redundant (possible at this time of year)

Anyway heres how she looks now

And this is the photoshop plan...

Got some BSA 17x7 Livewire wheels with some cheap springs

thinking about getting a set of hottuning coilovers, AMG Merc Wheels (pictured) and some H&R wheel adapters (since amg wheels are 5x112)

What you think?  :undecided:

In 2 minsds to sell it, looking at a mk4 gt tdi but its £3000 more than what I'm selling mine for. If i was to spend £3000 on mine i'm sure I could do better than a std mk4 gt tdi!

That looks awesome!! cheres for the chop

I'm only waiting for my new wheels because I can't afford them at the moment so open to offers on my current wheels.

I have a set of winter wheels I could put on in the mean time.   :smiley:

Wheels are in very good condition with plenty of life left on the tyres.

They look ok but i would rather not use merc wheels on a veedub black on black looks cool though a nice red pinstripe would be pretty sweet too

Fair enough probs be able to get them cheaper than what I payed as with anything. I got them from Autoworx in Teeside I quite like them myself but i'd rather have them amg wheels quicker.

P.m me an offer if your interested  :smiley:

To be honest i really dont know what to offer. I did see a set on ebay go for £102 which to be fair did not reach the reserve. PM me what your thinking of. Things just arent selling i guess due to the economy. Wish i had brought my car 3 months later now hehe.

No idea mate, I like them so I don't want to let them go for pennies but I do like those merc wheels. I'd welcome close to £300 which isn't bad considering there only a few month old with tyres on.

They are Kenda tyres btw
