marcusgrant Posted April 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 Nice!Not complaining now that you bought the wheels no i quite like them now!lovely wheel. normally come up in 5 x 100 fitting so quite a rare findyeah i haven't seen them before although there was another set on ebay at the same time as these.They really remind me of these:but mini versions. Look sweet! (excuse the shocking google image quality)ooo good call. cheers Haha I had a cheeky bid on those wheels u got a bargain there nice wheels they did go for quite a good price and they were delivered to my door which is always nice. They do need a refurb though which will be a bit expensive with new centre caps and bbs valves... then tyres! only just got new tyres on the sport wheels as well before the bump.looking fresh!cheers pal I've been installing the boot popper today with dad, such a pain getting a wire from the boot to the front of the car. I've got an audi a8 boot button and put in the rear bin bit, in the same place that the alarm button thing is on the GTI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEP51 Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Whats going to happen to your current sport alloys? as they are in such a good condition (doesnt appear to be any curbing or damage in any of your pics) i was wondering if u would be interested in pricing them up at less than a 4 wheel refurb would cost me for mine? wouldnt necessarily require tyres, unless u wanted them gone too and they are good.U may want to keep them for winters, but thought i would enquire.

I think i'll just keep them as spares. If i do sell them though i'll let you know and get pictures, they all have brand new toyos on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcusgrant Posted May 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 german ebay ....Shame two of them are scratched Main reason i bought them was for the centre caps. Going to see if the seller will send two more, weren't cheap and meant to be brand new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newnesie Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Gutting about 2 of the centre caps, what were on the wheels in the first place?Looking good so far, is this back on the road yet or not? Can't wait to see pics when it is back to 100% Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Devil Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 cant wait to see the pics as well when you get the car back to 100% , nice caps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcusgrant Posted May 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 There were already centre caps on the wheels but the bbs centre cap bit was all bubbling so needed replacing. I've just sent the seller in germany an email asking him to send me two more, fingers crossed he will without me having to return these two.Still not back on the bloody road no lol. Still at the body shop, now ran out of MOT and all the brakes need replacing.... good times at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newnesie Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 ah fair enough, I was under the impression you could have prized the BBS bit off and got some new stickers for that bit? (if that made any sense )Sucks about the brakes, I know the feeling, got MOT due 23rd May Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcusgrant Posted May 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Yeah to be honest i could of probably of got something to replace the old badges but they were printed on metal and it was proving impossible to find something similar. I just thought i'd pay out and get a whole new badge, makes life easier lol....well at least i thought it would!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcusgrant Posted May 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 awkward moment when you send some bloke in germany a lairy email demanding 2 new centre caps and he comes back telling me to take the protective film off them, turns out they are absolutely fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
