s2 alloys look shite in white! and gti alloys are just fake cosworth ones (which i would sell the gti alloys anyway) so if you dont want to have standard silver s2 alloys, or even do them in black like i have..
then tbh i would sell the gti and s2 alloys put a little bit of money and get some 2nd hand but good condition 15" 5 spoke MO's as these wheels actaully look good in white..
hope this helps
by the way, get some pics up of your car

nice car to start with
just a few things i would change (obviously dont have to listen)
put standard bumpers back on (black ones)
remove the spoil
remove stickers on the sides
put the black s2 alloys on
lower it
would look 10x better imo
what are your plans for it by the way

base model mk4's rule!!
my first car was a silver 1.1 bonus (G191 OSH) and i loved it, it got an XR2 lump and 5spd box, 88 spec turbo interior and slammed on rst wheels - miss that car badly!
Think i've had another 12 or so bonus's since then - here's some pics:
bonus turbo, was bought with running gear in it - i just finished it off
prob my fav, 2.0 16v Bonus which i bought bog standard as a non runner:
she got a 2.0 zetec, rst box, full stainless, polybushes, superchip etc etc! great car and very quick! got more pics when i find them...

retireing my bonus
just as it sounds, lost heart in my bonus now as it need a cill arch and respray. also an engine needs replacing. so gonna have a look for an mk4 xr3i cabby to use insted. all is not lost though as my bonus is going to be sorn and can gradually sort it as my wallet lets it.
