James2409 Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 you should convert the boot handle so that the volkswagen badge opens the boot like on the mk5 and mk6 golfs, seen it done beforenot sure how hard it would be but would look sweet!this is a class thread though mate, really like your car!

Rich Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Curious why you refitted the G60's ?I love the G's, they're well suited to the cars, ample braking, no brake fade.Just wondering why whip the porky's off though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the G's, they're well suited to the cars, ample braking, no brake fade. Just wondering why whip the porky's off though. I didn't want the salt to attact the finish on them. In terms of braking they were no better than the G60's... Only did them as they look good and nobody else had them. I'm shortly selling the car so might aswell recoup some of the money I've spent on it. I wouldn't if I tried selling it as is.

Sort of, couldn't be bothered trying to sell it for the same price as a good standard one, and it's not really possible to convert it back to total standard. Edited May 4, 2020 by 99hjhm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
