I haven't even picked up my GTi from the dealers yet and I am already looking for mods and the like. Saw those black BBS wheels on ebay thought,

"hmmm how long would i have to eat peanut butter sandwiches for lunch before I can afford to buy a set?"

Good pics R32UK.. The samples look good,better than my mobile shots. The 3rd pic up you can see the drivers dead pedal.I'm taking mine off tomorrow and designing a cover for it. I reckon just the logo part of R32 would look pretty cool on that.

Anyhoo...  Test run complete,parts now 100% perfect.Doing a short run tomorrow A.M around 15 sets.Only 15 due to time constaints,laser guy very busy. GTI first,R32 + more GTI on monday.

Can I ask Hurdy,(moderator) where would be the best place to start a sticky.?.Don,t want to sully this excellent MKV forum with buying lists.

GT boys.. I have done a test on them. Not happy with the font,so they will follow later.Group buy price will remain to forum members when complete.

Can do just the R as in R-Line if anybody interested.

When sticky starts can I have a list of members with type wanted.It will be open till thursday as friday I,m off to the ring.If all goes well will post Friday morning. Would prefer paypal but cheque for those unable will be accepted but please understand clearance time etc. details will be posted for paypal.

I,m going to stick mine in with double sided tape.

Any thoughts good or bad much appreciated.

Cheers. Gulf

Not stuck mine in at all... they just seem to rest in there quite well. Did catch one when getting out (dont ask how) and managed to bend the middle of the R somehow but as you can see from the picture I managed to straighten it out a little. Very delicate that little bit of the R!

you must have read my mind.That has been adjusted but not by much.Really need to keep the R font style without too much Tag.Thats the only problem with letters like R,A,O it needs a small tag to keep them together.

just a thought and it's a bit ghetto but here goes. Down at B&Q you can get this sticky back vinyl called Fablon. They do a red coloured roll and maybe you can cut out a squre piece that goes underneath the GTI lettering and then stick the metal plate on top of the Fablon?
