Part 1 of my CS to CSS conversion complete. Set of Michelin Sport Cup 2 tyres (18”) added to my Clubsport. Only driven 5 miles in the dry but initial subjective feel is positive with improved steering feel. Was toying with a Pretoria upgrade but standard wheels still look great and 2 KGs lighter per corner.
You should start a build thread with photos (assuming you haven’t elsewhere)
This will be a fascinating project.
Well not actually the GTI, but had the wife ring me in tears last night when she got back to her car after work. Her pride and joy (our mint Polo Blue GT in Blue Silk metallic) has been keyed. She said she felt sick
She's absolutely heart broken.
Not just a little bit, on the off side from just behind the headlight right down the wing, through the door and all the way through the rear quarter panel to the rear light - and really deep, down to the metal in places
It's either bored kids, or as yesterday she couldn't' park in her usual spot, (she parked just round the corner in another street) someone took exception to her parking in "their" spot - even though it's a standard street with no assigned parking for any of the residents. Makes my blood boil and if I ever got hold of the fekker who did this, I'd do them serious damage by keying their face !!!
Just last month bought the car outright from VW finance as well. What is it that drives these brainless morons - and why are they still allowed to breath air !
Sickening.
I’ve had three cars keyed over the years and can relate to the feelings of wanting great harm to befall the perpetrators.
My sympathies sootchucker.
