Cool beans! 

Not a lot left to get then, and relatively inexpensive too! Look forward to seeing more pics of it looking like that one above!

Yh this is why I'd rather convert to 4 stud then buy new wheels  , beans buying bits here and here so Havnt really noticed the price of it

I've also bort a set of let vr6 3door colour coded side trims so no more arches.

And also sourced a new rear arch repair panel

Your converting the GTI to 4 stud

Your converting the GTI to 4 stud

Yup. Well if I put the brakes on my 1.6 with the abf init, it's considered an upgrade, but on the gti (basicly the same car bar two doors) its considered unsafe  . I can't see it myself. Yh okay the wheels will have for less bolts holding them on but there still gunna be safe.

And i think the insurance company would be more concerned about a 1.6 with and abf init then a gti with oem 4 stud brakes

Completely the wrong way of looking at it and I doubt your insurance company will share your view, a mk3 GTI was built with 5 studs and uprated hubs and bigger bolts for a reason and not just for fun.

But I have nothing more to say on the subject as I think it is madness to even consider it all, even more so when the wheels you have are available in 5 stud.

Okay well I think we'll just have to agree to dis agree 

I did think about selling the wheels but couldn't bring myself to doing it. Also they we only £350 and the fifteen52 5 stud ones are £700 

[LazyLunatic]

Don't you need to change lower arms, etc as they are different?

I don't agree with changing to 4 stud, plenty of wheels to choose from. I wouldn't say it was a dangerous move though. I've been OK with 4 studs.

[thai-wronghorse]

Changing the wheels would save so much time and effort but fair play to you for going about the swap anyway.
