Its already got that engine, just fancy a bit of a 'Project' TBH

Sorry, misread the first post. In that case, one of the bigger engines, including the 20v one, should bolt onto the engine mounts/gearbox without a problem, except perhaps the turbo plumbing.

I was going to suggest Corrado speedlines, but they only come in 5-stud don't they? That said, Compomotive do a near-identical 5-spoke design in 4-stud.

nah, more actual dish. it'll make the car look a little more muscular and sat.

try finding some LM reps or similar, unless anyone knows of a VW/audi wheel that has dish as standard? i'm a BMW person so i can't really advise specific models in the VAG stabl, but i'm sure someone on here will know.

Pretty sure you can't get LMs, even reps, under 17".
BBS RM replicas or perhaps G60 steels?

ooh, banded steels. that could be special.

Whats the point in going to all the hassle of an engine swap and then only ending up with 125bhp? Surely any VAG 1.8T engine be a better option?

No apologies for calling you Shirley

I think we've found a winner!

Just found out, you can buy them from a vw dealer! part number 357 601 025m, priced at £39.55 each including vat! there is a choice of 2 centrecaps, a smooth one which covers the centre completely (357 601 147 d 7vl and £11.39 each inc vat), or a black cap that shows the wheelnuts (like a polo-shape caddy van) part number 871 601 171 priced £4.55 each inc vat.
