Thanks mate....

Just gotta get the coloured caps that go over the screws and jobs a good un. Any ideas where from though..? Also need to find a way of fitting the centre caps as the wheel bearings push them off, might have to try spacers.

i used 3mm spacers on my mk4 rims... but you will still have to prise the hub covers off... lots of lovely grease underneath but you will be able to get the centre caps on but you might have to flatten the split pins a bit

i have done this on my mk4 rims but this isn't advisable and mine is only temporary as I am not happy with this arrangement

as for the nut covers... the stealers is an option... but the mk3 nut covers are taller/deeper than the mk4 ones which are a different shape so they will stick out a mile on the mk4 rims you have

i used my original nut covers and cut them down to size with a hack saw and then filed them down and then polished them

Thinking of eventually getting them powder coated in black and then painting calipers yellow, but gotta start a new job and get that outta the way before i do anything else.

Number plates I'm not a fan, but can see why you like them! :huh:

The grill isn't a GTI one. :afro:

The wheels look awesome, was going to get some before I got the BBS, 'new' nut covers fit the MK3 fine - I have them on mine! :wink:

I do like the number plates but the holes let them down :sad: ... thats why i have plate holders fitted as there screwed to the car and the holder clips the plates on!
and as said the grille is normal golf!!
