They are th nuts those wheels, they look a little too sliver for the Anniversary wheels though, are they a copy, usually the anni wheels are a darker colour,

They look fun to clean though :o :o :o

They are genuine Anniversary BBS RC's with a custom blackened chrome painting effect with not only looks good but gets rid of the premature corrosion issues which are linked with the VW BBS RC's. They are a little darker than the standard polished wheels.

my third set of anniversary wheels hasn't rusted *YET* and i've had them on the car for a good 3 months or so. so i think they've fixed the problems whatever they were.

nice wheels gary, i think it would look the bomb on a silver car.

have a nice day

Must be the pic light then,

You've got a proper 4 door anniversary now then, if you want some headlights , the dark black ones there are some on e-bay.

The front spoiler and skirts are Oettinger but IMO look better than the Anniversay parts.
I have also retrofitted the OEM Xenons which are much better than standard.

yes i have got a proper anniversary. just went in to GY VW today to have the dashboard and trim panel fixed!

i'm with gary on bodykits, i think the oettinger one looks nicer (sideskirts look the bomb), although what i would do to have 5 doors. 3 door car is terrible! :(

I was contemplating fixing some spot lights to my golf, i don't think the HID lights are up to much. My old car had H4 bulbs and i went and bought some 55/100 hella bulbs which had a big sticker on them "not for use in europe" and stuck them on and it was soooooo much better.

while i'm having a rant, does anyone know what modding does to your warranty?

have a nice day
