3dr white Clubsport, 18" wheels
Would 15mm spacers add a more aggressive look by filling the arches? Do they disrupt the handling anyway or rub? I was also thinking of switching to black badges, the exhaust tips will have to be changed to black too. It's impossible to keep the chrome tips clean. I see various brands going, and some are very expensive considering the only improvement is aesthetic, all 'tips' are welcome

Just ordered some black/red badges (grill,wings and tailgate) from RB Styling-a German company.
Very expensive for what they are,but they look really good,plus they use OEM badges.

Nice looking Mk5 and Clubsport TeamGTI. :cool:
I ran 11 (or was it 12mm?) fronts a few years back when I was on 18’s coupled with 16mm rears.
You can go 15 front and 20 rear but I think 11 and 16 are the sweet spot.
I got mine direct from Sparco in Italy via their eBay shop and I think one or two others followed suit.
They were really good quality for the price and came with bolts but not lockers.
I’ve still got them tucked away somewhere.
Burger Tuning aka BMS do reasonably priced exhaust tips, they’d be worth checking out.

I've used coatings on the exhaust tips which help make them easier to clean - carbon deposits wipe off pretty easily. Not that much of a chore. Due to the aerodynamics of a hatchback, it will draw muck over the back of the car so the exhaust tips are going to get covered in mud and road grime which will be visible as well. If it's aesthetic, then that's personal choice.
