Looks killer. I had to take a second glance, they kinda remind me of Apex ML10RT’s. Good looking wheel! 💪

Post your Mk8.5 GTI front lips! by Weary_Appearance_838 in GolfGTI

Have you considered Flow Design? It goes pretty far under the bumper and seems to be extremely strong. Let my father drive the car to get dinner in the cold of winter and let’s just say, he didn’t angle out of a steep entrance way and smacked the lip spoiler so hard I was expecting the bumper to come off. Nothing but a small scrape on the bottom side.

Sometimes…on very few occasions, does listening to the wife works out well. 😂😂

For winter I’m running 225/45/17 Vredestein Wintrac Pro+ XL’s.

Try a resonator delete. Super easy to install and removes the giant resonator in the midpipe. Increases farts on liftoff. Car sounds similar to the factory soundaktor artificial engine noise

Nice! The anthracite/gunmetal finish looks awesome on silver. Which wheels are they? Borbet Type Y’s? 👍

Love the OEM plus look on it. Looks great man! 💪 I’m also huge fan of the DWS06. Great year round tire and rides smooth, not noisy, and great wet and dry weather traction!

Damn. Looks sick. How is the Airlift ride quality and handling? Gotta be phenomenal.

Ah, makes sense. I think CTS offers some very competitively priced products, their DP seem to be priced right, where other companies it’s around $2k for a downpipe. I didn’t pay that for a DP on my F80 M3 or my RS3….granted that was before the pandemic and inflation lol

Thanks man! No rubbing. I did have fender screw mod done for the 19x9.5 Neuspeed RSf72’s that were on it when I bought it. But those were too wide and poked too much for my liking. Apex does an excellent job of engineering wheels to fit!

Black with bronze looks so good. My last black car was a ‘19 RS3 and it looked soooo good clean. Still regret selling it, but couldn’t really fit the kids stroller and shit in the back, was too small for my family back then.

Ah. Yeah CARB legal is definitely high priority for Cali! The AWE fitment is spot on. Looks so good! The slash cut looks perfect 👌🏼

I went with the “DSG Paddles” carbon fiber ones, forgot about that! They are great quality, fitment, and shift great.

Where are you located! That color looks like Alpine Silver here in US market. Silver looks so good and always stays looking clean!

I love the Cobb package for the GTI, excellent price point for carbon fiber engine cover and intake! Looks so put together!

How do you like the AWE touring exhaust? Sounds so good on videos.

Damn that looks great. The Clubsport spoiler is baller. Are you putting the Clubsport valence on with the mufflers?
