Perfect rep! Good to see it being kept so perfectly clean too. Have you ever put it on GTi seven spokes? I'm interested to see how it looks in full GTi form

Why did you modify the door? I did mine and didn't need to touch the door at all..

If you ever need tyres fitting by someone that takes car with what they do give me a shout, I'm only in Swilly, but work is based Knearsborough two lol,
