I, personally, am not a fan of black wheels on a black car, however some do actually look half decent. Its each to their own tbh. If its your car, and you want to do it then why not? Dont let anyone else talk you out of it :) Its you thats spending the money on it at the end of the day, and you want it to look how you're going to be happy with it :D

sorry i better elaborate

the reason i sold my mk2 was fuel consumption and that is also the reason that seat discontinued the engine.

you see 27mpg max which for the size of the car and shifting it will be alot less.

id go for a diesel or a 1.4 sport [B)]

Trust me i wanted a 1.9 /1.4 TSI , Only reson i Did not want a 1.9 or 1.4 is that i just dont like the looks, I think the btcc is stunning and makes the car a diffrent machine looks wise..As for mpg.. I guess ill just have too live with it atleast i get the stunning looks , Im usually not very heavy footed so it should be ok.. Ish..

Outa intrest, getting the rear 1/4s tinted? cos not a lot of places will do them.......

Yes i found that out the hard way lol , If you look on you're rear 1/4s there is a little black edge mabey about 1 inch around the edge, Now the tint man told me if he uses window tint film it will eat into it.. , But that little inch strip in the rear 1/4th is the stuff he is useing too do mine? if thats any help too you =]

would look good in black if you left the outer edge of the lip silver

Agree with that not a fan of black and black, makes the alloys look small IMO. Titanium may work better, or stay as it is if was me.

Good looking car by the way.
