After *that* Mk6 debate I'd rather not comment.

Here, have a searing five door from ABT also built for Worthersee:

I'm not sold. Wheels could be racier for a "clubsport".

I "accidentally" bought the 18" BBS SR with nokian friction tires for winter, any comments, good or bad choice?

How does someone buy a set of wheels by "accident"?????

Nice looking wheels:

Is the Friction a winter tyre? If not then not the best idea for Sweden in Winter?

Wheels look good.

They're very average. Given the premium one would pay for it drivers would hate to be confused for a PP.

Nice choice on the wheels, there are so many terrible winter setups out there, the SRs keep a bit of class and style.. and were deliberately designed by BBS as winter wheels.

Don't know much about winter setups though - part of my last 'winter' was in FNQ with 28c and blue skies most days.

You'd be surprised.

In my opinion the Darkshine concept at Worthersee shod with ATS wheels and some clean body additions and highlights would be the perfect base for how the Clubsport should actually look. I don't even mind the yellow highlights, perhaps just delete the back section and leave it with a few splashes - a toned down Renault if you like.







Looks way better than the actual Clubsport design study, which looks like they employed a bit of Aussie HSV Clubsport styling traits with odd plastic bits.
