junkie 0 Posted March 2, 2008 So you kept it quiet for 3 hours :lol: dont blame you though i would be shouting it from the roof tops. Looks loads better though. For some reason, I can imagine a group of old men sat in your car soaked in gin, smoking pipes and talking about the war. ROFL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted March 3, 2008 8) Looking good, I couldnt picture that interior in a car from the ebay pics, but have to say that is one nice and very unique set of "saddles" :lol: i mean seats Like the new rims too, you cant go wrong with some BBS split rims on a VW, everyone rants "there done to death" but you simply cant beat the look or the quality of them, I have a set of widened 8j and 7.5 RM`s on my Cabriolet with black powder coated centres, now i got my C i can either run the New Borbet A`s or those which is a bonus as they make the car have a very different look Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g60greeny 0 Posted March 3, 2008 the whole "done to death" thing never worry s me,its all down to personal tastes,i just wanna have a smart lookin rado,not goin for prizes an "scene" points,(dont do enough shows for a starters)if things turn up for sale that i like,an think will improve the looks of the daily work horse an i got the spare cash i'll buy um :D dont get me wrong i loved me recaros an borbets,but i felt the interior needed a change,the grey wasn't to my taste any longer,so need to either get a retrim or a complete change,the complete change weighed in a lot less than a retrim :lol: ,plus i loved it when it was in dougs master piece,i'm actually tryin to get him to part we the dash(we no success :lol: ) as for the wheels,bbs were my 1st choice for me rado but could never afford any,so when the rs's came up on a good deal we me borbets it had to be done,i reckon by the end of the year,looks wise my vision will be complete :lol: ,so 2009 engine mods will begin i hope :D but ya never know what the future holds,i'd still love a TT so if anyone wants to swap :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted March 6, 2008 I got 195 45`s on my RM`s on my cabriolet, to be fair they are quite stretched even on 8j so it may be pushing it on a 9j, they were a real pain to mount them too! had to use the old seat cover trick :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonesmark12 0 Posted March 6, 2008 195 45 on the rears on a 9 would be mad! now 165/40's with the rubber being pre stretched!!!
