Yes it is, only issue is it is not what you would call driveable.

Im sorry to do this.

But interia?

You kidding me?  Gansta?

It wasn't untill you mentioned it second time round I realised what you meant....interior.

I'm rolling 17's on mine with standard suspension.  I had a 45 profile tyre when the wheels were bought which scrubbed the sidewall in the rear arches.

Put 40's back on and the rubbing went away.

17's handled like a dog

hth :)

nice.. this is pretty much the look im going for.  But to be fair the wheels still dont look huge and sit in the arches nicely.

robos pic on the other hand just looks fooking mean on 18's  and i love the way the wheels sit under the arches. It may drive sh!te but like i said before low and slow is for me on this 1.  Im after the look and not the feel of the car.  Performance means fook all when all you got under the bonnet is an 8 valve.

As for the spelling... blame the weed  :laugh:

I love the jetta front end and bumper side repeaters to...

Are the wings the same and is it just a case of slam panel and bonnet swap...
