You can tell from the arches fairly easily. If anyone pays £415 your got ripped off. Let me guess Rolfe, infact I can almost gurantee you went for the 17's didnt you ?

How did you guess?  :grin:

I just quoted you the list price, because I didn't spec them.  I didn't try to beat anyone down.  I agree the shadow trim looks nice, I'd have had it if it had been £50 or so, but I'm really not that fussed.

And as a smooth ride is paramount in this car, then I was quite happy to save the money.

The upgrade is defo worth it for the driveway, the looks from pedestrians in town and of course when you catch a glimpse of the car in shop windows as you cruise by!

Don't deny it - I'm sure we've all done it!!

Change to the 18's Rolfe, you'll regret it in the long run. You know you want to do it.  :smiley:

Hadn't even been released 5 years ago mate. And as for the facelift, that's exactly what the mkvi is isn't it....


Ok, maybe 4 years then, was it not rel 2005 ?

Of course its a facelift, I've had to learn myself to say this, cause if I don't I'm having to fight off about 15 mk5 owners all at once.  :grin:


Iirc it was December 2004/January 2005.

You're doing well recently kev, I'm impressed!

Thanks, I think.  :grin:

quite honestly i think the 18s will help with resale value.  when looking for for my cars, i always think that the wheels make the biggest difference.  e.g. BMWs on small alloys look awful, only the bigger wheels sell well.  not excessive mind... over-wheeled cars can look tacky.

I value the comfort of my ar$e over the look of 18" or 19", but as has already been said, 17" are soooooooo MKV.

Edit: There's a pic of a MKVI in another thread on 17" & the wheels look tiiinnny on the MKVI. 18" minimum!  :nerd:

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?
