Dec Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 (edited) Right recently sold my sport and purchased a GTI its a tidy one in my opinion just 49,000 miles onit with full VW history. Also came standard with the leather interior and tilt n slide sunroof. Has alsready been dropped on coilies so heres some piks.....Next i had to crack on with finishing the BBS RM'S which i had purchased in need of a refurb for my sport. got the centres powdercoated and ordered brand new stainless 1.5" dishes all round and stainless bolts to match.Heres some piks-Now the fun began trying to get the 165-50 pottenas on but heres the outcome after giving up and resorting to britania tyres in Hinckley.......Now heres how she sits......

Tricky88 Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Looks good mate, how did you get the rubber off the interior handles - is there any easy way?Patrick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dec Posted November 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Just scraped them with a Stanley knife, kept the knife at 90 to them tho so that I didn't cut into the plastic if u get me? Going to attempt spraying them myself this week which could be dreadful but if so i'l just lightly blast them and get a pro to do them lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky88 Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Yeah ive done the flat parts like that was just checking there isn't an easier method. It's such a pain. Sprayed a lot of my interior myself just make sure when you laquer it all spray it on really sparingly (if your going for a gloss finish) - made such a difference on my stuff!ThanksPatrick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
