    id assume the callipers are bigger on the mk4 then the mk3
    Well all the measurements are identical to my current wheels which are running 215/45 and speedo is spot on so probably just stick to that. Pretty sure vr6 callipers are 288mm so if yours are 312 mine are smaller and like I if all measurements are the same as now so they should fit no dramas. Thanks for all the help man, I appreciate it!

    My new wheels!

    They have a few gutter marks and scratches but I like them.

    Couldn't handle all that chrome on the front so did a little diy smoking

    I'd love to have some nice fitment but don't want to run spacers and don't have money for nice offset wheels, I'll do a test fit soon to see how they sit but I'm not expecting much.

    Also bought a badgeless grill on eBay about 2 months ago but there was a mix up in customs and it was lost or something so am still waiting on that.

    Airbag light is on! fault code read 0058 driver airbag resistance too high or something like that. I've heard this can just be a bad connection so will take a look tomorrow, hopefully an easy fix and not a clock spring replacement or worse.

    Some pics of what I've been doing for anyone interested:

    better pic of back since wiper and spoiler delete


    joey modded my mk4 look a likes and have some yellow tint film coming that I bought on eBay to tint the fogs


    mk2 gear knob and amp controls in my dash (one for sub, one for 6x9s) ran iPod cable into glovebox

    airbag light cause = broken clock spring new one on it's way off eBay. It's a 2000 model Polo one but from what I've researched it's the same and should fit if anyone can confirm this though I'd appreciate it.

    Grabbed some new beetle wheels

    My secret stash under the house, I have a thing for oem wheels
