    White Mk4 GTI

    The car as it is now, done a few things still have so much more to do to it but I'm getting there.





    Yeah white wheels need a clean every few days in winter, I don't mind to much, I spray it down every few days at the Lazerwash and hand wash every month anyway.

    So far:
    GIAC chip
    APR DV
    Silicone turbo induction hoses
    Rear sway bar
    Front strut brace
    Coilovers
    Remus rear muffler
    3" 42-Draft downpipe + Magnaflow cat
    Debadged rear (Golf)
    Anniversary badges front and rear
    Colour matched lower grills

    More on its way

    This is how the car looked when I first got it.



    Rear:


    Original first post: It was mod free when I got it about a month ago and this is what she looks like.

    1st Mod done today put on a front strut brace I got from Tim at Dub Addiction, it went on perfect very happy looks good too.

    So what next guys new shoes or should I continue with the suspension and ride height, been looking at spacers but am not to sure??.

    I will chip her at some point, when I can make up my mind on who to choose and have enough money after everything else.

    Here's the interior.

    Found some mags.



    Found these Alloys that would look good with white, just want some opinions?

    With red calipers behind I think would look good and just a little different.

    They will look good for the first 3 minutes after you wash them.
    White wheels tend to attract brake dust so make sure when you get them that you apply a wheel sealant to make brake dust removal easier.

    I have heard some horror stories about generic multistud's not being supplied with the correct bolts/plastic locator rings etc etc which turned me off them.
    I would be looking at some 5x100 specific wheels if it were me but it's your car and if you feel they are suitable then i would go fo gold with them.

    White on white looks horn when clean.

    OK ill look for 5x100 sounds the safest option, looked at Vic roads they don't like adapters or stud patterns that don't match the factory wheel, but I suppose people get away with it for them to sell multistuds.

    What size 18 or 17 read that most people like to stay with 17s for the MK4 are there any issues with going to 18.

    Cheers for the advice team_v ill be getting some wheel sealant straight away as I still want white wheels..

    with those wheels i would actually go 19's, but also involved would possibly be rolling the guards and the right tyre choice, a lower profile would obviously be on the cards but it all depends on the width of the wheels, inquire about the specs of the wheels and im sure i could help you out to get the best whees fitted and looking good

    White exterior goes really well with the red inserts on the seats. I like it better than any other exterior colour.

    Wheel wise 18s look hot. If you don't go white, shadow chrome Mk5 R32 replicas in 5x100 would also look awesome.
    Actually any multi spoke style in shadow chrome.

    Dark tints (black), debadged and dropped 1.5 - 2.0 inches and you'd have yourself a very sweet looking ride.
    Coil overs are great but if your not gonna mess with the height, then a quality spring and shock combo will do the trick.

    Performance: 2.5 or 3inch DP, CAI and chipped.
    Short shifter for feel. Stage 1 clutch and lightened flyweel for acceleration.

    If you still want a little more, go a 2.5 inch exhaust.
    Mk IV Golf GTI - BMP - GIAC chip, R32 wheels, KW coilovers, rear swaybar.

    hi mate

    nice mk4
    those wheels look horn, but as the guys have said above, definitely get yourself some sealant

    the only thing i have against replicas is this:




    courtesy of a piece off a chep pallet board on the F3 freeway in sydney on my way to QLD

    ive never seen a rim get so annihilated from hitting a piece of debris!! i didnt know my 'S4 copies' were copies until this happened (only had the pog for a week at the time)

    if u can spare the dosh, go for some genuines

    Whoa Hazrd that is crazy, I found some replicas just the other day they are hill racing.



    Now you having me worried, Hey has anyone had these ones before.

    The white rims I was looking at are out of stock and there's not many places in Melbourne who even stock them.
