Well I think the first mod will be the mud flaps, deflectors and the remap from the local place.

Then it will be likely to be pads and discs followed by CH's and like you say where will it end??????

It will not end once you start  :rolleyes:

At some point I will be changing my Monza's out for some BBS wheels, would love LM'S but as I am not into the whole 'stance' scene I am not sure they would look that good sadly.



But I also really like these 18" CH's I believe..



I also like the CK's in anthracite, haven't a pic of those...

Basically you can't go too far wrong with BBs wheels :grin: :cool:

Ride height and wheel width/offset is critical to making these look good, that said if you gt it right as per the car in the pic they look stunning :cool:

If your really brave/creative they can carry off coloured centres well too with an accent somewhere else on the car, this really is then starting to get into the whole 'VW scene' thing though which isn't really what this site seems to be about.

Sorry, Monza Shadows for me guys, it was one of the reasons i fell in love with the GTI in the first place.  Used to drool over them when near a GTI MK5, have them now on my MK6, wouldn't change them.  Really smooth & easy to clean - some of the ABS on show here must be a nightmare in that respect with all the spikes

Yep I feel the same, I wudnt change my monza's for anything, but I very much appreciate how stunning the BBS's wheels look...

If you want CK's then get and Edition 30 as they look the same  :laugh: BBS = nice wheels but dont look quite right on a MK6, need something bang up to date. I agree why would you want to change from Monza Shadows  :cool:

By up to date, do you mean like Glendales? They're not to everyones taste. BBS's are tried and tested and are right on so many levels without appearing to be trying too hard. Just like a Golf really.
