Looking very nice mate. I'm planning on getting some BBS CH's or RS6's on mine and those pics have just swayed me towards the RS6's. Have you thought about colour coding your valances?

fair enough mate . u dnt want some 19" v2 rs6's do u got some going in classifieds??? only done 10 miles im going back to 18's as my golfs to low for these as tyres them came with were 235 and i cudnt be doing with rolling arches. had to put spacers on mine cus of my coilovers were close to rim on front. only reson im shifting them on.

sorry mate, 18"s are plenty big enough for me, cheers for the offer. good luck with the sale buddy! get some pics up with your new wheels on  :smiley:

I do love the RS6's, they are nice wheels! Only reason i might end up changing mine in the future is because of size and weight reduction. Yes, that's one thing that i missed off the shopping list lol, i do want to colour code the front and rear valances in the future, but its probably last on my "to do" list, definately going to get the set up running to its potential power wise first, then throw some guages in so i can keep an eye on whats going on with boost pressure etc, then i can worry about cosmetics and looks.

What do you think about getting window tints? I'm unsure about them on silver cars, and think they look alot better on darker cars. Did all mk4 gti's have heated mirrors as standard aswell? I'm not sure whether mine didn't have them, or they're just not working?

my bad they were only 16's just looked tiny lol

What power are you getting from your K04?

at the moment, i havent a clue to be precise as i haven't got a FMIC yet, gotta get it rolling roaded first, then sort a front mount and get it mapped again maybe. Put it like this, my mates Ibiza, which has had race manifold etc and everything changed except the turbo, (running standard KO3 - so he says - and has a printout of 240bhp) beat me lol. Its not running to its potential yet i'd guess at around 220bhp, but i'm hoping its going to be okay for between 260-280bhp when ive got it sorted. I will let you know what results i get when its done mate  :wink:   :smiley:

 I believe the rear lights are the Euro spec with the clear section, think the US had a single smoked stripe.
