Good color for a GTS!
Have planned a wheel change?

Yeah, I plan on some 19’s but unsure on what... I’d love some Porsche wheels on it but I don’t intend on going any lower so might just look stupid. Some optional mk7 golf 19’s would suit it too I reckon!
Spoiler extension and sideskirt splitters next and removing the stripes...

Very good plan! Your lowering level is good, but perhaps with 19" need a little bit more low!
GTS stripes are over the paint, right?

Yep! Stripes are an OEM thing... GTS’ had them unless specced not to.
I reckon if I went 20’s with a 35 tyre and an 8.5 with ET30... It wouldn’t look so bad.
It handles so much better now tho.

With 20's you would normally go for a 30 profile tyre.

With 20's you would normally go for a 30 profile tyre.
It all depends on what width as I want to try and have them more flush and close that arch gap up a bit... Wider tyres on a 30 or slightly narrower on a 35...
Choosing wheels is the hardest bit. :rolleyes:

On a 20" rim with a 35 profile tyre, the width would have to drop to a 195/35 or 205/35 to maintain the OEM rolling radius as to not upset the gearing / speed.

With 20" rims, 30 profile is the way to go, either a 235/30 or 245/30 would look good.

Good luck with your search for wheels.

Hoping it’s accurate :shrug:

Thanks!
It’s called Alien Magic purple haze! It is incredibly clingy too, not just a pretty colour!
I finished it off with a coating of meguiars polish and soft wax, then a coating of Auto finesse Lavish ceramic coating snowfoam and a gentle rinse off.
It beads so well and any dirt is just washed off by the rain!

Love the car! What front splitter do you have fitted? Is it OEM or something you have fitted?

Thanks! I appreciate it!
It’s a Maxton gloss black splitter that’s been trimmed to clear my work car park ramp! I cut the front edge and profiled it to match the angled parts...
(I hit the ramp and snapped a bit off so had no choice)
