Yes, got them as a bit of a bargain, they are for a Passat CC, so the offset is et40, works perfectly with the TTRS brakes. Always admired the wheels, but wouldn't pay dealer price for them. I posted the EBay link in the for sale section if anyone else is interested (think they had one other set for sale)

So it's been an eventful few weeks with the GTi. First off someone reversed into the o/s rear door so I had to sort that out, then to cheer me up, the TTRS calipers came back from refurb, I have to say the job they did was outstanding. The Brembo logos are stencilled, so they should last a while longer than stickers!

Then I fitted some xenon replicas from Xenonz UK. They are a great repro when you consider £400 vs £1500+ for OEM





Lastly after the car came back from paint (including gloss black additions to wing mirror caps and lower rear bumper diffuser) I put the VW Motorsport wheels on. They look ace!

Car looks awesome bud, and the gloss black diffuser is a nice touch! That ride height is nice too, what setup are you running? How does the ride compare to standard? After i sold my Polo i promised myself i wouldn't lower the golf but yours is making me want to commit  :laugh:

VWR springs is all mate. Rides nicely without scrubbing etc. After fitting the wheels, I'm thinking I should have gone anthracite with the diffuser and mirror caps, there is quite a mix of gloss black and grey on the car now, looks a bit of a jumble :shocked: will maybe take it back to the paint lads next summer if it bugs me too much.

No calipers and discs go on next week, I tried my hardest to hold the wheels back until the Brembo's went on but cracked after getting bored the other day!

Nice work mate.

Have a set of TTRS brakes myself to go on too. Who did your caliper refurb? Looks a brilliant job.

Tell me about those headlights.

Are they basically projectors with and aftermarket HID bulb and ballast in them? Do they fire up straight away like OEM do, or is there a delay where they are dim to begin with, then warm up to full brightness like most cheap HID kits?
