Won't be parting with it anytime soon as he isn't going to Germany til June :/

I wasn't trying to be funny lol why are you getting so defensive I actually love the front look of the "R" it looks more aggressive than the GTI hence why I said I'd love the front grille on mine

We may be talking about two different "R"s hahaha.

And I wasn't defensive? I was having a laugh myself...hmmm

Very easy to swap. Just remove the plastic capping above the boot that holds the headliner up and just reach in with a shifter. My mistake was buying a 9n shark fin so the connector was different but I'm handy with a crimper so was a piece of cake

They are 18x9 et35 with 215/30 kumhos. Contrary to popular belief, they fit somehow haha

Can you share with us where to buy the shark fin from?

Thanks

Car looks great dude. Rims suit it perfectly. Any more pics with the new wheels?

Got my brother going to Germany for business so he will be bringing that back for me

So the 2012/2013 front TSI grille, does it still have the chrome centre? Is it just the outer edges that are the gloss black? I'm assuming the earlier models had a Matt black finish otherwise exactly the same?
