Guest, 🚨New Stock alert: Premium CUPRA valve caps now available in the store 👉 Order now from the merchandise store
The GTi is on std springs
there's nothing to really skim off the arches though.... it's kinda structural
on the other car (when it was on 16*7 rims) I don't think 20mm spacers would have cleared the arch

I think the tyre would batter the rim/lip of the arch if you run 7"+ wheels & 20mm spacers & normal tyres (and lowered)
Mk3 20VT rims like I run on it now with 20mm spacers should be OK if you're on 195 section tyres, might catch periodically on bumps though.
205's caught all the time on my old cordie coupe when that was lowered though
10mm hubcentric?

Picture skanking
couple of bits of rust on the slightly warped bonnet, and a little on the nearside arch. easily sorted out though.
eagle eyes will notice the lower bumper 'grille' is missing (it's in the boot) but I'll pick a new one up at some point

Warped ..... it's definitely in need of some alignment - otherwise it looks ok, paint is a bit flat - weekend with a PC would sort that 
Front left bumper area looks skewed too?

There's no F in Quality..
looks alright for a winter hack.... tart it up and do the usual 'mods' and it'll be a smart motor... and shouldn't actually cost anything when it comes to sell it again in the spring

that's the cunning plan. aside from servicing (which is next) I don't expect to loose money
Not really. engine mounts need beefing up, and I'm undecided what brakes to put on - but the car is purely functional.
my money pit is going to get almost 2 weeks work on it over the next 3 weeks as I use up holiday, so my 'pimp my vario' thread will be where it's at (hopefully!)

20mm is fine, especially if youu havent lowered it. which i assume you'll be doing?
my porsche ones were 25, but that was to reduce a ridiculously high offset of 52, so brought it down to ET27, no bother.
they bolt straight onto your original hubs using small allen key nuts, then you out the wheel back on over the spacer where the ring is and all the holes should align correctly.
