well i compaired them to the roof as the roof has jsut been machined polished and looks like its gonna be cool as fook tbh :D

wooooah! awesome wheels, how much were they if you dont mind me asking? I've been quoted £150 for 4 mims in rs4 blue.....

I'm a 10er cheaper to get all 4 done ben! still to get 2 done which i will hopefully get done next week if i get them tomoz! also going to get the gti engineering rocker cover done the same colour me thinks!

i think they look even better now with the Audi centres

there has to be some better thoughts now the wheels are finished? :D

higgo, ah well everyone to there own bud... i like them :D

cheers,

Andy

yeah i understand each to there own, do look slightly better with the new audi centres tbf but i reckon red or black would have worked betta

Looks good mate. U running no boxes or cats on your exhaust mate? Whats it like to drive now, I'm assuming you've lost a bit of torque having done that?

  • Author

yeah man its a high flow system, which will be good for the gti engineering head! no cat as its a mk1 rado! no silcencers!

its still fast as fook... torque is pretty good! but once the head is on it will be even better as I'm gonna get 268 fast road cams for it :)

how ever, i got the car with the system so i have no idea if its lsot torque...

Andy

Piiiiiiiiiiiiimp :).
