I don't mind the Seattles, I really like the Vancouvers but I loooooooooove the Charleston Shadows. :drool:
I nearly threw in the towel and traded the GTI for a GTD last year when they were announced (not that nearly really, but was tempted).
Next car for me (pipe dream really as the GTI is staying for ever) would be 5 door GTD in any colour you like, DSG and Charleston Shadows.  :smiley: Re-map, RNS and Bobs yer Mums cousin twice removed.
Or an ED35, or an R, or, or, or.........anything really...... :grin:

Make up your mind, dear. You got me spinning even faster. I'll do the other arm and all due to you. :grin:

Well I'm home and the alloys do look sweeet!

They are mint in condition with no marks or scratches - I was like a hawk in the garage before they swapped them over - I'll be removing them in the next week or so and giving them a deep clean before I seal them with some gtechniq C5 which will mean they will stay clean so much more easily.

On the journey home (city / Motorway / Country Roads) I didn't notice any degradation in ride quality despite these being 18s rather than the 17 Seattles - perhaps its because these have more rubber on them compared to the ones I swapped  :grin: If anything I (imagined) an improvement  :rolleyes:

I managed to grab a quick shot (well it's a 30 sec exposure!) excuse the dirty car etc. Will take a better shot in the near future

Thanks Guys

Will be doing some hard polishing over the coming weeks (weather permitting) and hope to get some good pictures of the car afterwards which I'll share on here.

Buck/Adrian.

Beautiful. You are right.
I've put your pictures on the 'Non-Monza Wheel Thread', if you don't mind. :smiley:

Shortly before i ordered my GTI i saw a DBP GTD with Vancouvers at a dealer and it looked fantastic! i was very tempted for a little while but don't really do the miles for a diesel to make sense. Good choice Buck! :cool:
