Perfecto!  :cool:
You just need some Fabia vRS or Leon Cupra R wheel nut covers to finish the wheels off, Steve. They arrived quickly too. :smiley:

Leave the nut covers off for a few miles Steve, then get the nuts checked for tightness (oooer Missus) after a week or two. New alloys and bolts need a few miles to settle in and the bolts can loosen a little.

The dark grey looks perfect against the white. Spot on choice.  :cool:

Ok, now I see the attraction with these pictures.
Boot fixed, new wheels and when a new knob? Andy managed to get a new knob. Get him to hunt one out for you. He's on the prowl in the early hours when all us normal humans are tucked away in bed and in slumberland.  :grin:

Yes mate, 235 conti's.

Car feels a lot more planted on the road, not much difference really between the 18's and 19's.

Jim, sell the wife or at least rent her out to Neil, who is an extremely flexible person and very understanding.

Congratulations, but I will always prefer the iconic Monza Shadows.

Iconic? ICONIC? For what? Being dreadful looking and worming badly? Probably the worst standard wheels fitted to any MK of GTI.

Blimey all four of yours got white worm. Had one replaced under warrenty but my others are o.k. Then again there waxed and tucked away in storage at my office.

Be good if you could take some pictures of the white worm on all your wheels and post them on here for the record. Thinking it may help others fight a case to get them replaced if they have any future probs.
