Very nice, but I think black wheels only look good with white cars otherwise they seem to blend with tyres and you can't see the actual rim.

Agreed. I wouldnt have gotten black wheels if the car was any other color.

Auricom Looks clean. I'll have a look alike soon! Are those 275/45/20 Square set-up? What tires do you run RF or non, etc?
It's the standard 275/35 front and 315/30 rear, but the EcoContact 6 have very round shoulders ...

Arrived about 4 weeks ago, loving it so far! No plans to change anything, quite like it as is. And always glad we don’t have to have those orange side markers. Wife’s JCW in last pic….

Thanks, yes, carbon black, when the sun shines a bit more it’s easier to see the blue.

Didn’t go for a full PPF/CC, I’m too lazy and often use the hand car washes round here, who’ll have any coating off pretty quickly.

In between those washes I used a local valeter/detailer who for a lot lot less money comes to the house and uses some ceramic sprays to give protection and shine when he’s done cleaning, just won’t last as long though.

Was it difficult to apply the Gtechniq? Debating whether to do it myself.

No, it's my favorite to apply. I've used Carpro, Adam's and Gtechniq

Thanks, I don’t generally spend much on options, but the M Sport Pro and biggest wheels possible was hard to resist.

Great looking ride. Nice to see they are still offering air suspension overseas. Also those wheels are a personal favorite of mine, also not available on this side of the pond. Enjoy the new ride, looks incredible.

All good looking mSport photos. Got a question for you... how many of you can tell it's an mSport from the behind?

pretty easily, actually. the rear reflectors for the xLine are in-line with the bottom of the lower tailgate (essentially on top of the bumper) compared to their higher placement on the M Sport. the xLine's rear diffuser has 4 protrusions and makes up more of the rear bumper than the M Sport's which has 3 protrusions, and its exhaust tips are smaller than the M Sport's. (IOW, xLine = large rear diffuser and small exhaust tips. M Sport = small rear diffuser and large exhaust tips)
