Yessir! Update is..... wheels back from powdercoating
they have been done white so that the new colour comes up well (photo taken by my mate who works in the unit next door)
Won't be ready this weekend but maybe next
Tempted to tell the guys to just lacquer and let me stick 'em on in white!!!

Went down to the shop today, wheels are ready and they are being fitted tomorrow morning at 9:00am
Looking forward to your views and opinions on the new colour!

No pics, wheels are not fitted. Turns out that despite the assurances of the seller, who claims to have fitted them to his mk1 and mk2 Golf and his Mum's Polo 6N without spigot rings, I need some spigot rings. There is a couple of millimetres of play when the new rims are fitted and I don't want to run them without.
So frustrating! Because they look great and I've not seen any VWs with this colour of wheel on!
Off on holiday next weekend so it will be a couple of weeks now

Yep, all the wheels I've had powdercoated in the past have then been lacquered with no issues
