Mat black or gloss?

will you have to get your arches rolled or does 7.5" wide wheels go on with out any clearence problems

7.5s are easy on

Knowing Tony as well with wheels.....they'll be easy off as well!!!!!!

very nice.. was t hard to mount the gauges.. or did you just slot it in the radio hole.. i was toying with covering up the gap, ala mk1 gti, and sticking the radio back in its orig place.. but im waiting to order my new gauges.. im going for the analog ones not the digi units..i think..
