Default So my friend just put some wheels and coilovers on his MK5 GTI!

Here it is in stock form when he first got it





and here it is with new grill, front end bumper inserts, coilovers and wheels







Close ups of the custom finished Audi A8 wheels - brushed centers with the beveled edges polished




Awesome rolling shot

Very nice. Those A8 wheels look pretty good on the small Golf! I like the grille but I miss the red line on the upper edge :/

The new grill/inserts and wheels look great! Very tasteful choices.

I checked the pbase gallery where the pics live. Camera is a Canon 300D (now replaced by the better Rebel [350] XT).
