Its looking good so far, a little bit different to the "norm" that all us sheep are following (I've got BBS RM so I'm clearly sheepish) :lol:

You'll be able to lower it further if you fork out for lower profile 195/40/16 tyres but of course it means more money when you've not long had these tyres on anyway!

I've got a Powerflow on mine (subtle hidden exit), did you go for something quiet or something loud?

where are the pressed plates from bud?

Those wheels are just ace. Different to the usual wideness

Those are just the tyres I got with the wheels, I didn't have a choice in size.

I asked for the quietest it could be. I think they got it just right cos I think it sounds so cool, especially now I got the induction kit. It gives a quiet roar at low revs 8-)

I'll have to look for my reciept. I know they cost me £35ish.

P.S. Don't know how to multiple quote

Powerflow exhaust and the induction kit seems to have improved the torqueness and response of acceleration.

Also thanks for the nice comments

Looks real nice and love the look on the new wheels!

Is that camber needed on the front though as it looks quite alot?

I've had the wheels alligned, I don't think I can do anything about it

Scotty can you tell me what box numbers you had done at Powerflow? Feel free to PM me if you prefer. I want to make mine quieter :lol:

Looking good fella!

We should organise a local red car photoshoot... 8-)

There is something you can do about it. You need to find a garage that adjusts camber of wheels. Having the wheels aligned could just refer to you just having the tracking done, but not the camber. Cost me just under £60 to have tracking and camber adjusted.

Thanks indy.

Sooty, we should go to richmond park or whatever.

My plates are from thenumberplateworkshop.com, they also do 'd' plates

Thats fuckin smart Scott, much better than mine, where did you get the screen surround from? I looked everywhere on the net, and was told they didnt make one for the mk5

The surround came with the unit. I think it's just a standard size cos I didn't tell them what car it was for

That thing looks sick. I was wondering of ways to lose that compartment under the radio. Though it's a handy place to keep me fags. haha

Cheers. You can add loads to it like i-pod leads, bluetooth thingy, tv tuner. I only have i-pod leads though :( . Would be cool to watch tv while hittng someone up the arse at the traffic lights
