Title: piccys of my GTI
Post by: reidtastic on 14 December 2009, 18:04
Well ive had my gti for just over a week and its not been out the drive yet, (too embarrassed to take it out with those rank 17s on) :grin: :grin:
Ive just bought my self a set of monza 2s which are away for a refurb on thursday, with a nice new set of F1s waiting to greet them.
My first set of mods are going to focus on the interior, i think ill go for a gti badge mounted on the OEM floor mats with brushed aluminium heater control surrounds and mirror dimples.
Anything else worth doing to the interior, any pics or links cheers.

I still don't understand why people feel so strongly against the 17s.

They're so similar to the 18s that I doubt anyone other than an enthusiast would tell the difference - it certainly wouldn't stop me driving my new car!

I personally prefer the 17s - but don't really feel that strong about either :)

Nice pics.... like the Zed!

Another 17" er.

IMHO, the car rides better on 17s anyway :) Granted, I DO like the Monza II, but the whiteworm issue sounded like too much of a pain.

You've also got the fastest colour  :wink:

I like the third Pic.  :cool:

Most people wouldn't spot the 17'' wheels as you drove past. :smiley:

They so arent, the 18'' are SO much nicer and are diamond cut.

Saying that there isnt much wrong with the 17''. Hell, I even ran the 17'' on mine for a year ;) :cool:

17's on mine too but if I had a penny to scratch my ass with it would be put towards a set of wheels, really not digging the 17" look  :embarassed:

Looking good though :afro:

Cheers guys, yea that ED front end is a big improvement,  :cool:

Thanks Hurdy, i take it awesomes prices are a bit OTT for the brake ugrade as ive seen some people who hav bought the kit for about 500 sheets, i take it that is from a seat dealer and how much of the awesome kit do i actually need, surely some of the standard gti hardware is reusable on the cupra/s3/r32 kit ??? :huh:
