I can play now I've had her a week.

'11 MCS. All I've done is tint -- 35% front, 20% rear, 5% sunroof. Tires Conti. DWS 215/45, short antenna, and wrapped headlight rings.

I'm waiting on my ST coilovers to arrive and hopefully I can install them next week. I also have 5 and 12 mm spacers, and H-Sport rear control arms ready to install.

I'm debating new wheels. My top choices are CCW classics, BBS LM, and I kinda like the Breyton Race GTR

Looks great but I'd keep the wheels. How do you like the DWS? They're my next tires on my car, had them on my MKVI GTI and loved them.

I'm keeping the wheels as well. I really like them. The brake dust is killing me though, that's why I want to change. I like the tires. They are very nice and comfortable. They don't crash over small bumps in the road. On my test drives with the runflats, the ride seemed very jarring over small bumps. It's all smooth now

Thanks! They are Sparco Pista rims. So far I love em. Apparently O.Z. designed them with the Sparco name.


Randy, yours is an R53 (model 2002-2006). Great looking car you have though!! I used to own a PW R50 myself.

If you want to edit your posts to try the picture again there should be an 'EDIT' function underneath your post. Sometimes it's tricky to get the pictures to show how you want them. Cheers

Awesome mate. Blackout theme really suits the darker shade of blue you have. Cheerios!

Picked it up last Thursday. Dropped it on Friday. Tinted it today.

What do you all think of Shermann?

Sorry....I suck at taking pictures.

That green would look so sexy with a silver roof, like they had for the '06's
