16'' would be nice, if u could get a 7'' or 7.5'' wide rim and say a 195 tire perhaps, not to much stretch but just to get a nice stance. that should be sweet. imo :drool:

 

kinda along the lines i was thinking, sort of euro look, the mk5 can pull it pretty nifty

They are gonna look awesome mate. You should get someone to do a photoshop ;)

 

yeah i'm trying to find someone to do it . . . my computer is a relic . . . photoshop wont go on here lol

 

What wheels are they, i have photoshop right here

 

they are cades eros alloys, my mate informed me 5 minutes ago might be able to get a good deal on bbs LM rims through his work, they look exactly the same as the cades but with bolts . . .

looks tidy, i'd swap to mk6 mirrors and different wheels :cheers:

 

any plans? :)

 

mk6 mirrors look rubbish on a mk5 specially such a standard mk5, i hope she doesnt do it!!...

 

Car looks good mate, and if the mileage is right thats a rare find!

 

Defo bang the RS2k wheels on though, they look the part. Here's my XR

yeah my old XR.. :cheers:

 

If you ever want to sell that rubber K&N pipe going from the throttle body to maf/air filter, let me know :)

 

stu it was the one from the k&n kit, should have said about the 130 pipes as we got rid of 2 when we scrapped our 130s :nutter:
