[Tim_GTi]

That's the one, I'm out of the loop nowadays so forget!

Ok dude nice one.They are the ones ive seen too think ill have to get them to freshen up my old ones.Is your handbrake cover off of a 9N3 Polo GTI?.

[Tim_GTi]

Yeh 9N3 model. Takes some modding to fit. I had to cut the leather off my old one, slide off the red stitched leather off the new one, and put it on the old handle!

[Bradley]

Ah i see,ill see how much i can pick one up for if its too much i wont bother incase i butcher it too much and ruin it.Yours looks very trick and im abit funny and only really do OEM mods so i wanted to do it to mine.

[Tim_GTi]

It's not that much effort, if your patient it's no sweat. Cost me about £30 delivered IIRC?

[Bradley]

Ok man no worries,im pretty patient so will have a toy with the idea and see what i can find.Thanks for the info dude.

[Tim_GTi]

no problem! just let me know if you need any more help.

Hi Tim... a wee bit off topic here... When you got rid of your pepperpots, did you sell the adapters with them? What sort of adapters would one need?



cheers

[Tim_GTi]

Yes mate, adaptors went to.

You need 4X100 to 5X100 for pepperpots. I'd go 15mm front, 25mm back.

Cheers for the info... I shall keep it in mind. Since seeing them on your car I think the pepperpots look much nicer than G60's... similar (imo anyway) yet much nicer. I will inevitably be buying a GTI this year so a set of pepperpots MIGHT be on the cards as winter wheels

[Tim_GTi]

Yeh, they're a great smarter alternative to G60s!

Deffo smarter than the G60's, I love those Pepperpots.
G60's are alot cheaper though because they dont require the adapters

[Tim_GTi]

Yeh definitely. And because of the adaptors they're a bit of a pain for second/winter wheels. One of the reasons why I swapped them for my Cups.

MOT due, I have no money and two illegal tyres on the rears. Better get the Monos back out. bleughhh!

Are the tyres still decent on the Mono's then Tim?

Mine is due in April too and I think it will fail on the exhaust The joys of having cars aye
