Looking great Neil! Always liked them wheels on the golf. How does the ride compare to the 18"?? On the R32 the 19" felt much the same just a little more planted, but with the slightly harsher ride of the GTi is the change noticable?
Very nice i was not sure of them by the photos on VWRs website but i think they really work with the red. Don't let Robin see me saying this but i think your wheel and car colour combo work better than his.
Looks good, even though I prefer silver wheels. I can't see from the pics but did you go with 225 or 235 section tyres?
