I very nearly did. Two teenage kids to fit in the back plus occasional OAPs to ferry around put paid to that. My wife, kids and myself would have all chosen the Rocco otherwise. My first ever car was a Scirocco mk1. My youngest said he wanted a Scirocco with a number plate that read '' FAT ASS'' on it  :cool:

maybe a daft question but what have you done with the previous 4 sets of wheels ? isn't it costing you a fortune ?
I can justify it to myself. Justifying it to the wife is another matter....... :grin:

^^^  :grin:  they just don't understand that these sort of things have to be done  :grin:

Lets just say the ''conversation'' I was on the receiving end of when she found my email correspondence to the seller wasn't a pretty sight!!!  :grin:
Dunno her problem was to be honest as it was me that had to do the hard work clearing room for yet another set in the garage.  :laugh:

Absolutely!
Looks so odd.
The car loses its iconic status.

Exactly, so well put.

Hi all I am now awaiting delivery of my new mark 6 but must admit I am not totally convinced on the 18" monza shadows I've ordered was wondering if any of you could recommend a decent set of alloys to set my car apart from the other gti's I may see around. :jumping:

Give him a couple of months and he will change them again. He has to catch up with the number of kids he has: and soon! :laugh:

You know what?
The 18" Monzas are great looking wheels but do not suit my Tornado Red GTi.
As I can't change the car or want to spend extra money on wheels, I just have to accept this sad situation or slash my wrists! But first I will check my life insurance policy!

PS: I know I have left myself wide open!


Any more gonna come out of the closet?
Admit it guys and girls, GTI is what's in the car's DNA not what alloys it's sat on. There's no point saying that a GTI without Monzas loses its iconic status when you see a dozen TDIs a day running round on Monza replicas.

If I'm feeling generous, they get to ride in the Espace. Otherwise, it's the back of the Transit - the equivalent of the 'naughty step' in our household!

Exo:I love the Monzas and the GTi. I was just having an off moment when I previously posted. Call it PMT(?)!
Would not have it any other way.
Roll on wheel set No.6! And why not. At least you have kept the same wife all along! :laugh:
