looks gash  :sick:

Nooooo, I like!  I think the yellow stitching is better than the red on the Ed30 <awaits incoming missiles>


So TT, you'd like to drive around in a Bananamobile then :rolleyes:

Can you imagine how great it would look in Blue with blue stitching and blue calipers :cool:
I think VW missed a trick there :wink:

Noooo, I said I like it, but I'd never own anything like that.  I don't like to draw attention to myself!

It will probably come with Continentals or Dunlops anyway.  :wink:

Now that would be amusing.

I quite like this version, I have had a mk1 campaign (called the pirelli edition in europe) for about 16 years as was as a mk5 GTI and thats prob why i like this version as its another pirelli edition like the original GTI special edition was. Oh and as the wheels are im guessing made by pirelli there probably as well build as the original mk1 pirelli wheels (mine are still like new after 24 years) and therefore will not corrode and rot like rubbish BBS wheels.

I see blinkers!

And BBS certainly wouldn't be classed as "rubbish"!

I personally think BBS are much better than some of the chavvy pikey rims available on the aftermarket.
