Yeah, remapping your car, who does that? I mean honestly, if you want 300bhp go and buy a car with it already.

Exactly!

Ah, remapping is different, just like adding aftermarket wheels/body pieces etc. A remap is taking the engine from OEM to something else. Thats ok; you're not trying to make the car like another in the range (I know you can remap a GTI to something like ED35 or R etc).

To go completely against my argument; It's your car. If you want to do it, then do it.

I don't know why you'd not want these on a GTD.


IMHO, if you have a GTD, have GTD wheels, if you want Monzas (which are gorgeous none the less), get a GTI from the start.

If it was souly up to me then I would have the charlestons in a heart beet BUT it's not...the gtd is a car I will be sharing with the mrs and she's not so keen on the charlestons but loves the monza's so that's why I'm after the monza's....besides charlestons are harder to find! A set was sold just the other day on ebay but sadly I didnt notice till it was to late.....its absolutely nothing to do with wanting to look like a gti....and as you say if I wanted a gti then I would have bought one from the beginning....

Thanks for all the comments and know how.........

I understand now. In which case the solution is simple. Don't change your mind on the wheels... change the missus. Ultimately that must be cheaper in the long run anyway?

+ You'd be safer will some steel wheels with plastic hubcaps if your thinking of letting your Mrs drive it

Patiently wait for a set to come up for sale, I waited months.......but finally found new set.

  yeah I definitely would be better off getting steals really, as it is she curbed a set when she was pregnant with our little one....

I would wait if I could....but once I've got something in me head that I want.....I have to have it now!!! I'm so inpatient that way...

[Mr GTD]

Has anyone had any dealings with these people..?

If everything goes according to plan I will have a brand new set of monza shadow 2's(detriots) by the end of the weekend...if not definitely by the following weekend.

Awesome!!!
