I know you are. I enquired about your GTi when you were selling it but your new car was delayed or something so I eventually found another

Just to finish this off. My wheels arrived yesterday.

To really finish this of properly, we need some pictures of the new wheels on the car.

I'll get some up when they go on, they are winter wheels and the weather's still canny here in County Durham, honest  :grin:

Just put them on, bit early in the season I know but I only do about 40 miles a week so no harm done.
Managed to do it in between showers, so yes the car needs washing and the tyre soap needs cleaning off. I'm quite pleased how they look.
That's of course if my first attempt at posting pics has worked :grin:

Those look excellent Darren, very nice. Good contrast with the body colour. What size wheels did you go for in the end?
7.5 GTD

Thanks. I just went for 18's ET44. I nearly bought the silver ones but I'm really happy with the look of the titan.
