Top work fella!

Shame you've had grief with it. Seems to very hit and miss with the GTI problem wise.

Splitties give a great stance, look forward to seeing how it looks after winter!

nice to see your finally pulling it all together Max. personally the bathurst wheels do it for me think they look so good. don't mean to be critical in the slightest but sort that coolant out man it looks like filth!! :lol:

haha, I was just waiting for someone to say I need to clean the engine bay!

Lol..I might have it off you again! That thing was amazing! Looking good though Max :thumbsup:

;) Awesome max! get the front down a little more and it'll be spot on :D

I want my splits back :(

Werent of much use sitting on an immobile car though eh!

Look forward to seeing more progress :D

Shame about all the problems

It's looking good now though mate :thumbsup:

I said the wheels stick out too far.... they do. Tread should be inside the arches imo.

The tread is in the arch. In that pic at least. Its the sidewall thats hanging out. Just how it should be 8-)

Nice progress Max :) now lets see some more pics with those splits on :D

wheels suit it really well but its riding high at the moment!

very wide just drop it a bit and it will look sik

hmmmm.....really looks good, although does it look like the fronts are sticking out a fair bit more than what it was for me, going by the pics??

Does the GTI axle have a wider track?

think it is deceptive mate ...you were sat a lower at the time, and i think it tucks the wheels into the arch more!

looks top max! x

Looking good Max.

Once you wear them tyres out need to get some narrower tyres and crack out the c-spanners 8-)
