I think Exonian nailed it really.

And 11 alloy sets is proper dedication to the cause! :evil:

Yeah I'm thinking the definite way forward is to keep both sets  :grin:

Of course I would then need another wheel rack  :whistle:

Yup he has.

Well I do like to help the cause  :wink:

In 6 months of owning the GTI, I'm already up to 3 sets  :evil:

I thought the seven sets I had for my first mk6 GTI was excessive.  :grin:
I bow down to 11 sets  :cool: :laugh:





There’s plenty of time for a few more sets for the white mk7 yet Raj, and I think it was a good move Keeping the white car btw. No bias here at all but mk7’s look best in white  :whistle:  (white just suits the shape and compliments the red and black bits)

Excessive money spent on alloys   I’m afraid  I just couldn’t justify it with two kids at uni

I think you should keep the BBS SR’s they look sweet. Then sell the OZ's to me  :whistle:

Errr yeah I have a bit of an addiction and like the changing looks that each set has bought.

I agree on still having time and I did see another set of alloys I liked already this morning  :whistle: :evil: :shocked:

And I’m totally with you on the white. Definitely the right choice as I absolutely love it. Just looks so good and as you say contrasts superbly with the black and red details.

I’m lucky yet that my two are still only 11 and 13 but I do have that joy to come.

Ha ha. Well they are currently sat in the garage so if definitely interested could see if we can come to a deal.
