Shep looking good man, any rubbage issues with that stance? TH Monos? heard they were a heavy wheel?

Also how do you get round not having side repeaters for the MOT?

And just my 2ps worth but having had both I reckon It's bit more personal pref, either can look mean or w@nk depends on the associated mods and the skill with which they are executed...

It does rub when going over very rough ground but it's not too bad, the back wheels have been spaced out 13mm so might take these off to stop it catching or get some smaller spacers.
They are 16" compomotives mate!
I'll worry about the mot when it comes round lol  :smiley:
Don't get me wrong i love the big bumper golfs but if the small bumper golfs are modded correctly they can look just as sweet!

Erm, I  knew I knew just forgot and didn't check... No offence intended :embarassed:

Looked at them myself but due to fundage issues have opted to stick with my 16in BBS wheels

Actually considered swapping my old skinny bumpers back from my old golf but were too rusty. Keeping it looking factory(ish)

Will upload some photo's when I get my photobucket account orgainised.

So MOT doesn't mind about not having side repeaters then?

i've not had thr car that long to be honest bud so i dont know. my understanding  was that if it wasnt on the car then how can they fail it??If it was on the car then it has to be working.
