red would have been nice with your wheels  :smiley:



I did think red to be fair, I've had them before on my little corsa and I wasn't to sure ... Might have to test red after seeing your photo ( Once I've bought a proper jack of course ) ;)

I said black originally, but i think that was wrong as some color adds a different contrast. But i do have to say mate yellow is not the right color at all.

The GTI / GTD looks classy in blue, painted yellow just looks like a halfords mod. You have actually managed to take peoples eye away from what a nice car you own.

Im only 27, so im not being a golden oldie, but i think they would look a ton better if they were painted red. Red and blue go really nice on the GTI.

*Edit* - Cant believe you used a scissor jack, if that would have tipped or snapped (which often happens) you car would have smashed into the floor with no wheels on that side. That would have f*cked up all your disks and suspension. Stop buying yellow paint and buy a trolley jack.  :grin: :grin: :grin:

I know, I actually have axel stands somewhere in the other half of the garage but I couldn't be bothered looking for them, and a trolley jack will be my next investment I promise ;)

Oh, and I hate to break it too you mate but 27 makes you a 'golden oldie' ;)  :evil: hahaha!! Maybe if you were my age again you'd agree ;) hahaha!

Isn't Passant's car a GT (albeit with a GTD badge and grill)?

The point being that if it's got the original diffuser on, it won't have fins.   Does it have a GTD diff on at the moment?
