As promised, the finished on the skirts and bumper trim is very high gloss like the rest of the body

Tell you what those 17's look pretty good in those pics, don't look 'small' at all. Both cars sit very very nice on them. Have they been lowered at all??

[gtimk5]

No, not lowered at all yet. The red one, mine will be getting some springs soon. The 17s have grown on me, practicality makes sense.

oh ****!!! any bad damage?

[gtimk5]

Just a bit upset about it at the moment. LHR pillar damaged, upper and lower rear bumpers. Trying to do too much at the moment. Knocked off work and raced into the local Ford dealer to get a cambelt for a rotten Econovan. With all the renovations they are doing at the dealers I reversed back into a telegraph pole. Bloody Golf blind spots! No excuse but it takes the joy out of having a new car when you put a dent in them. Nothing major but very pi..ed off with myself! Now if I had an apprentice......

that's no good about the arse end of the Golf. Hope it's back to new very very soon!

What are the specs on the tyres u are running? Width, profile etc??

[gtimk5]

The tyres on my car are the original Continentals. The white dsg is running some new high silicone content Yokohamas, same size as original.You have be careful about tyre noise on the mk5s and so that is the reason for the silicon. The Yokies look nicer on the BBS wheels for some reason. They look lower in profile. Optical illusion? I will be getting Yokohamas next. I damage 2 contis and each one cost $410!!! Good tyre but!!
