I’m very much taken with your across the road neighbour’s garden wall HBW. I love that stonework. Please tell them there’s some random guy off the internet that loves their wall…
As always, I’d have to agree with everything SRGTD says, and I can confirm from experience that a 225 tyre will sit perfectly well on an 8J wheel. This will also keep the Speedo reading perfect and with the ET45 offset the wheel will sit better in the arches. Win win.
When you mentioned wrapping the rear spoiler black recently I was expecting it to look nowhere near as good as it actually does. I’m actually quite impressed with how it looks.
The Clubsport side decals look good too. Being as it’s a custom look maybe you could add something to the rear doors too?
I’d have perhaps gone for an Edition 45 hexagon style graphic personally although I might have been tempted with mk1 GTI (and up! GTI) dual stripes.
What is the quality of the mirror caps like and are they a good fit?
And lastly - well done for braving the cold to clean the car!
