and i can confirm it looked the doggy's do-dah's - amazing in the flesh!  the deep pearl black looked fantastic.  although he did have the 17's on it which never ceases to amaze me why people don't upgrade to the 18's.  still, it looked great and made me even more excited about mine (if that was possible!)

18's look better. 17's better for old folk or those with young kids...  :laugh:

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?

i couldn't help myself with that little dig he he!  there was an old man in the passenger seat but didn't see the driver!  either way, get the 18's and give the car the wheels it deserves!!  I have a 10 month old daughter and I had 18's on my mk 5 and am getting 18's on my mk 6 - in fact, when i put her in her car seat she stares at the alloys glistening in the sun - she is her father's daughter lol!

You're going to have to look awful hard to tell the 18s from the 17s when the car is moving.

Of course, if gazing admiringly at it while it's sitting in your driveway is the height of your ambition, I guess £415 is a small price to pay....  :tongue:
