Nice…
is that a quattro in the background?
Looks like you would benefit from the four wheel drive out there at the moment, much like we could in the UK right now!

ok,
you can fit a set of g60 steels with 195/50/15. thats the best option for you i think.
Steels are very strong :wink:

Hmm, i suggested g60 steels to you, because they are stronger than aluminum wheels.
However, ats cups and bbs rm are of course better than others.
also RMs are in different league.

hmm, its true about this league. and BBS RM is whery expensive. but ATS are not so expensive and easy to found in Lv.

I will change rims, i think maybe Azev R15 rims
(it is not my pic)
and then do something with engine, i dont know jet, G60 or 2.0 16V. G60 is whery hard to find in Latvia. and if everything will be okay, maybe new painting. but the same color, dark green metalic. I will trie make this GTI possibly original how i can, exept engine, rims , and some other small things
but on this golf are whery lot of things to do first, before painting and rims lot of small things -> as usual
