YAY! Dinkus got himself another rado! Stay away from pylons and Ipswich now ya hear? :D

 

Congrats, she looks like an absolute beaut matey - nice mods done too. 8-) Hopefully get to check it out in the flesh next month at the BBQ.

Blimey, 5 replies already!

 

This one is definitely getting driven gently, but it feels so much more planted than the last one already and it's not even had the bushes done yet.

 

Going to be a rather large bill from Vincent on Weds I think :?

great colour choice, always look good in silver.

[dinkus 10]

Yeah, it's squeaky clean. I took the seats out to change them and even the carpet under the seats was pristine :shock: 8)

nice one, so your rain cloud did have a silver lining :lol: Like it, now get some proper wheels.

[dinkus 10]

:lol: very clever :lol: :roll:

 

I've got some proper wheels sitting in the garage, but I prefer the 16s look nicer than the standard speedies.

 

Don't want to go messing up the handling too much with huge wheels ;)

 

Plus I'm a lazy git so split rims would never get cleaned...

Welcome to the silver club dinkus......

[Stormin Dave 0]

Looks like a very classy purchace there.... but for some reason I thought you might gey a pink rado.

 

Good luck with keeping it straight.

[dinkus 10]

I was tempted with a Nice Gay Violet Whirl one, but I couldn't find any nice ones.

 

Plus Kev would have gotten jealous, because he's the only Nice Gay Violet Whirl on the forum :lol:

[Walesy 0]

look...if ive told you once...iv'e told you a thousand times..I'M the only gay on this forum....

Best of luck with it Dinkus. Glad it has gone to a very good home. Very :(. But damn those recaro's look good in there 8)

 

FYI:

Wheel details

German ATS/WSL Type M's, 7x16 ET38

Apparently, accoring to Kev, they were a VW dealer option at some point.
