Oh right , there in good condition! just a few surface scratches not deep but with a colour change they would go anyway, so they would be able to respray a diff colour?

Love those wheels :) I've had mine painted red, but after a while I've repainted them black :)

I believe they can spray them any colour you want.

Give him a call.

Very very nice 9N3 Turbo! :twisted: I've been eyeing a set of Brembo's on ebay. I was oh so tempted, but I first need to import my clutch & flywheel setup, then the brakes will be next.

I love the new seats - keep it up. :D

Thanks Chris.

I have owned a set of these for a couple of years but are for another project and it has killed me not putting them into the polo.

But got another set and was like a kid in a candy shop. Now they are in words can't explain my happiness.

Makes driving even better now and i just love they way they look.

I am one happy bunny :mrgreen:

Why oh why did VW just not give these to all GTI's best thing since sliced bread lol.

Hi Drennan thanks for the comments.

Adaptors came with the wheels but i didn't like the ones for the front as they were not hub-centric so bought new ones from Ebay.
Look for 5x100 - 5x130 and a load of results should pop up.

You can also find second hand ones on Edition 38 forum always good deals on there.

As for the re-trim nothing to major as i like the factory look so probs just half leather trim with red stitching and keeping the same interlagos pattern in the centre.

Have you tried sourcing the fabric? apparently its a nightmare, and vw charge a fortune, worth a thought.

Just need to sell my two fronts to get the cash flow up :-)

Thanks for the heads up

Loving the new seats mate and ofcourse the Brembo calipers

The stopping power should be immense with those fitted on 323's 8)
