Title: Ive just bought a Mk4 1.8T.....Happy!
Post by: dnbdub on 31 July 2010, 16:28: Hey guys, ive just bought a Mk4 1.8T and im pretty excited about getting up and running with making this something special! Its already remapped with a forge 007p and an induction kit. 1st thing is to get rid of the average standard alloys and sort myself out with some fresh ones! Ive been looking into the Dotz Mugello's 17", just wondering if anyone has seen what they look like on a mk4?? Cheers guys :grin:

Congratulations dnbdub, I'm planning to buy a very similar car (GTi) very soon because I want to change my old car received as gift from my father years ago. I think this car is the optimal choice for all car lovers because it has enough space to carry items when you travel somewhere, looks cool enough to go to a party with your girlfriend and it looks good in all colors. I plan to buy my car in green color, what about you? :cool:
