There's a section called parts for sale which is the best place to post this.

Also, check out https://www.kunzmann.de/shop/en/wheels-19-inch-rims-brescia-golf-7-gti-genuine-volkswagen.htm

Cheaper than UK dealers but will need to factor in postage.

How about looking on eBay?

Apologies, I am new to this Forum. Spotted the Parts for sale tab now! Excellent - thank you for the link! Yeah been keeping an eye on ebay too. Theres some for sale in Germany, just want to try somewhere local first. That ones in the link you sent have a red lip on the centre cap, never seen this on the golfs I have seen in the UK?

No worries, welcome!

They are the Clubsport caps. You don't get the centre caps included, just use your own ones.

Thank you again! Ok. Collect my Golf today  :grin: :cool: Going to have a look on here regards wheel spacers and lowering springs too. Seen alot of mixed reviews with regards to wheels rubbing full lock on steering etc. Also what the best springs would be which from what I see are the VWR, volkswagen racing line?

Can totally see I'm a neebie! Not a newbie to cars though  :smiley:

Excellent, what are you collecting?

I'm sure some of the others on here can help with advice on spring/spacers. Think Racingline is a good choice but can't speak from experience.

Have a look for Eibach Pro Kit spring reviews. VWR are hit and miss depending on batch I believe, and I have no idea whether they are currently good or bad

I'm running Eibach Sportlines on mine and they're spot on. Firmer than standard but not overly so.

The Pro kit has a little less lowering on the front and has a bit more of an OEM ride quality to them (apparently).
2014 Golf GTI (PP) in Pure White with
Vienna Leather, Keyless Entry, High Beam Assist, Park Assist, Rear View Camera. Milltek Exhaust, Eibach Sportlines, 19" BBS SR wheels - SOLD!!!!!

2018 Audi TTRS in Nardo Grey with
Black pack, 20" Alloys, Privacy glass and Sports Exhaust. No mods yet!

Thanks everyone. So I have collected a 2019 GTI PP! Going to look in to Eibachs me thinks. Really happy with the car!! Out of interest does anyone know if fitting Eibachs voids warranty? Cheers!

Cheers dude, got a photo of how your car sits just now with the suspension? Thanks!
