Matt's Accuair GTI - Now A MK5 R32!

Have you just spent a silly amount of money on some very nice wheels from Illford?

That's correct 

They're gunna look awesome! Are you keeping them as they were?

I'm thinking of changing the tyres, and because they'll be in my room until the end of February I'll be putting a crap load of sealant etc on them to stop weathering dirt etc

The Guy said they had like 80 watchers lol

[matttrance28]

Haven't touched more than the A pillars at the moment, as i haven't had the time, but

Well the guy dropped off my alloys 

They were nice guys, also know some people in the business, and said if I ever need a hand, with buying selling etc let them know, and they can get cheap prices



Excuse the crappy Phone pictures, i'm cleaning them tomorrow, he said their missing the wheel bolts, but i should have some standard bolts that will work anyway, unless the head pattern is different

Hamidi's old wheels?

Or mam's?

Loving this!

[matttrance28]

I think they're his old wheels maybe, they are carlines  as they're basically his specs, guy told me they're 8.25j fronts and 8.75 rear, which to me was weird being that, I'm pretty sure they are his anyway, as one of the boxes its addressed to hamidi 

[Toby]

Nice! His bora looked lovely on them! Defo some inspiration for you!

[matttrance28]

Yeah i'm just hoping i dont get classed against him as i wont be able to touch how good his bora is lol

[matttrance28]

Well i have too many wheels at the moment...

Will give them a good clean this week, and get round to ordering some bolts, was meant to trial fit them today, but ran out of time!

[matttrance28]

Right at the moment they have 205 40's on, which in my opinion isn't enough stretch, any opinions?? suggestions??

[matttrance28]

Well i test fitted the wheels....

Needless to say they poke way too much, they're 25mm adapters all round, I've bought some 20mm ones to hopefully make a difference, will definitely need the arches rolling after the adapters arrive, which i'm worried about!



Plus the falkens i have bought have a better sidewall for stretch, so i'm sat here hoping that will help a little bit...

[matttrance28]

Well this weekend i started more work in the interior.. []

I'll paint these bits black instead of grey..

Only thing left to do now is the headliner, attempted and ran out of high temp adhesive, so work has stopped for now, plus material isn't stretchy and i'm finding it a headache and pure annoyance..
