My N15 5-door GTi Build...

Its a no from me, i like the wheels but they dont look right on the car, as they are.

Maybe sprayed white.
 
I`m sorry to say I agree with Dale, they just look wrong for some reason. :(

Maybe because it`s a 5dr, :confused: but summat`s wrong somewhere.

Edit: After a closer look, I think it`s the polished lip & lack of centre caps that are combining with the red to make it not work.
 
I still really like them but only in the low rear facing pic, looks wrong in the other pic, i dont know why :/
 
The only thing I can think is that the back looks a bit too low because I've got the old wheels plus another exhaust and other shit in the back of the car in those pictures.. So its not quite sitting level.
They are starting to grow on me now though, however I feel they look a tad small.
The car does feel a lot better with these on though..
 
nice wheels joe, think they will look better after a refurb

Dont like them Joe. Keep the GTi wheels but spray `em matt black.

Noise pollution.
Well needless to say.. with this 2.5" Header, 2.5" Decat, and 2.5" Stainless catback with no silencers whatsoever.. My car sounds bloody fantastic :D
Feels pretty decent too.. Not saying too much, but next 1/4 mile day.. I'm gonna be needing my helmet ;)
Its an XS power one, 2.5" Downpipe:

Looks awesome in the last shot mate :thumb:
I can't believe you have scrapes on your support beam thingy! You do slow down at speed bumps right??
 
Just a thought Joe, I was chatting to my father-in-law last week about that exhaust volume issue (there is a thread somewhere) and he showed me the ruling on his MOT program.

If your MOT tester deems your system excessively loud or even louder than a stock equivelent he can fail it or if borderline give an advisory.

When I build my next system I will be including a butterfly valve in the pipework and have it virtually shut for MOT time/stealth bombing.
 
lovely mate, like the wheels too, soz didn't txt back, no cred! lol

defo have fpr though bud


@ ed - scrapes?? they're not scrapes!!! :P mines about half the thickness now, poor thing - i could probably use another one! lol
 
looking good joe, still aint sure on the wheels, they look a bit lost..........
 
Cheers for the comments lads :)
The cross member scrapes are from when I had the car on the absolute deck..
I've raised the front up 2" since then though, protecting everything underneath.. Plus when I went on the Dyno the anti roll bar was scraping, so I thought it wise to raise it a little.. its still low, just not too low :)
