A company in Burton upon Trent called Lime Turtle did the work for me, he normally charges about £160 to have what i have had

Thats all I needed, thankyou!

Heres a couple of pics that i took at the Stanford Hall show over the weekend, let me know what you think

i spy a cage... sorry i didn't get to meet you mate

Good eyes Tom, shame you werent there mate, would have been nice to meet you as well.

I have just insured the cage and its costin me a whopping £0.00 extra on my policy

I still have the back seats in.

oh yeah, and on the way down i spotted this sign and had to take a pic, made me laugh

Hi Neil, first of all; Sweet looking GTi mate!

But don't you've got trouble with your wheelarches.. Like rubbing tires?!
Because i've got wide rims aswell, and they rub as a freak.

What is the ET value of your rims?

Cheers!

Hey Dutch Gti,

The wheels are ET25 and are 7.5J all round.

The tyres are 195/40/16 Toyo tyres which are slightly angled tyres.

The tyres do rub if i go down a bump in the road at speed, but generally they are ok and do not really cause me any problems.

I will eventually have the arces rolled so i can lower it more.

Really nice gti youve got there! Kinda liked the old wheels a tiny bit more but still cool.

Can you still get hold of those rear badges and do you know what diameter it is?
Mine has just fallen off when i washed it so it would be a good time to get something different!

Thanks

I might be able to get one more badge, not sure what size they are though, i would have to measue it.

Ok cool, i'll take one. Can you pm me if you can get one and i'll sort out payment, thanks

Hmmm... Yeah, that's what I was thinking about..
But if you roll the arches, and you want other rims or something, with a smaller ET value, it just might don't look as fancy with this rims..
And that's where i'm afraid of... Because i've seen some other rims, the Porsche GULLIDECKEL s4...
And they are SWEET!
So that's something I need to know for sure if I want to roll the arches or not, or am I getting some other rims..

I've also got some trouble with too many persons in my car..
Do you've got the same prob?!

Thanks mate!

I nearly fell over when i opened my post the other day, it was the flat caps for the borbets

Only took 6 months to get here

They look a lot better on the car though, a lot smoother looking.

I will get some pics at E38 this weekend

get the ed38 pics up you nutter!

E38 pics are up in the meetings/events section Wayne

Haven't posted in here for a while but here are some updates:

Carbon wrapped the heater vents and centre top dash console:





And i have changed my wheels from borbet A's to Schmidt Moderlines:
