    Keep my MK5 GTI 17" Monza alloys from my old MK5 Jetta which will be on soon as it amazing how much different the 7.5" width of these over them standard 7" width made a different visual look to my MK5 Jetta.....think will "fill" the arches better and make my current Jetta a little different in looks.
    Just sorting out some much needed new front rubber on the Monza's.

    I did clock that but as this Club has members from all over the world, some originally from the UK, I still chose to complement.

    I agree with that. If you can't afford to do something properly don't do it at all. Simon do you remember the comparative coolness of that air ride Mk2 lifting up and moving off at Earls Barton whilst the guy in a slammed Honda ripped his front bumper off and had to stop and put it in the boot lol. Wish I had that on video.

    I still feel that that kind of poke out of the wheel arches should be illegal. You've got a deep rolling flexing wedge there. The rim edge could draw something loose in and the rubber will bind it.

    Dice dust cap - check (Lego out of stock but worthy of scene points)
    Nice wheels - check
    Crazy stretch - check
    Ruined tyres because you genuinely thought they wouldn't catch the arches - check
    Jump on FB to seek advice - check

    We have a winner!!! I dare say an expensive lesson for the owner to learn. The lengths some people go to, to be cool and fit in.

    Mars Red was it not? And the driver looked about 14? Although air ride not to my taste but it did look like a nice "TYP19" lol

    Although the Honda incident escapes me at the moment

    Yeah that's it on both counts lol It was very tidy. The Honda was a pastel blue 90's Civic ? It left the field by heading down towards the bottom and along, but the lumps took out the front bumper.
