scarlet_vr6 0 Posted June 15, 2008 I've got them!! Proof that it is possible to fit 5 rims and tyres in the boot of a rado 2.8l 24v Climatronic system.pdfBBS RX in boot.jpg[/attachment:1p3xvhpz] I'm not putting them on the car until they've been refurbed so for now I've only got pix of them leaning up against the car. It doesn't help that the car's filthy, the wheels are filthy, the car's on a slope and the tyres are too big but........

scarlet_vr6 0 Posted June 15, 2008 Who needs photoshop anyway?? Looking good. Glad to hear you got shoes for yourself too. lol - I haven't got photoshop! Very chuffed with my new shoes too - my first pair of red shoes (about time really!) and some black patent ones, both with silly heels even if they are for work :scrambleup: I like shoe shopping! Have to get the RXs smartened up before they can be worn though - hope I can have it all done before the National Day :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vwdeviant 0 Posted June 24, 2008 Loving the choice of new rims Faye, should look great when they are on! Yeah but you're biased! :lol: Good choice Faye, so what are the wheel refurb plans? OEM silver/Polish? Or red to match your new shoes? :grin: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scarlet_vr6 0 Posted June 24, 2008 lol - they will be staying silver. I'm after new centre caps, bolts and lockers too - I want them to look perfect before they go on. Wonder how long before I curb them?? :pale: haven't had time to get them sorted before the nat day unfortunately Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plus my "Pot-hole radar's" improved a lot too! They'll look great against the Blackberry too, just don't park next to Rob or you might take the wrong VR home... :nuts: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like the sound of that fitting kit and yes please Chris, I'll def have a peak at those on sunday. I end up parking about 1-2ft away from the curb! Plus my "Pot-hole radar's" improved a lot too! They'll look great against the Blackberry too, just don't park next to Rob or you might take the wrong VR home... :nuts: Yes I'll def be parking miles from curbs and I expect the old taxi joke from any passengers... Not sure Rob would be too impressed with suddenly finding out the blackberry he's driving has dodgy paint on the bonnet and rear bumper, black slam panel and front bumper and not enough bolts in his wheels, not to mention all the rest of the bad bits on my car!! I think he was still running on those Brocks last time I saw his car - that's my not-copying excuse and I'm sticking to it lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scarlet_vr6 0 Posted June 30, 2008 well, my trusty (sometimes) steed hit 150k shortly after leaving Prescott yesterday. Just before hitting that milestone... 2.8l 24v Climatronic system.pdfcropped resized CCGB Nat Day 29 June 08 Prescott Hill Climb 023.jpg[/attachment:noyg484p] resized CCGB Nat Day 29 June 08 Prescott Hill Climb 041.jpg[/attachment:noyg484p] Still haven't done anything with those wheels - just deciding where to get them refurbed but really struggling to make a decision about the centre caps. I've def decided on silver lettering but don't know if I want the rest to be black or carbon fibre... I'm so indecisive :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scarlet_vr6 0 Posted July 3, 2008 Bargain Fay, i wish things like this would pop up for me... It's all thanks to other forum members spending my money, in this case it was Billcor who put the post up! Well, I've made a decision and placed an order with Philip at PW for a set of BBS carbon centre caps with silver lettering, a set of bolts and lockers and a set of BBS valve caps. Should be with me tomorrow ... :clap: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scarlet_vr6 0 Posted July 14, 2008 Very pleased with my car at the mo.. I've got new wheels on the way and I'll have that Magnex soon so over the weekend I decided to start some of the jobs I've been meaning to get round to for months. I finally replaced the foliage cover and seal and I also fitted a Jetex pollen filter (thanks to Yan and Supercharged for the guide in the wiki as I would never have known how to or thought to do this otherwise :notworthy: ), I started some minor engine bay cleaning (reservoirs, engine covers and so on), I unblocked the drain hole behind the petrol cap and I've bought some smart folders for the service history. Finally I cleaned the door shuts which were disgusting. I don't suppose they had ever been cleaned and seeing the difference was very satisfying. Before and after... passat climatronic wiring diags.pdfresized cleaning and foliage cover 12-07-08 034.jpg[/attachment:6bw062iw] climatronic wiring-Golf from May 01.pdfresized cleaning and foliage cover 12-07-08 033.jpg[/attachment:6bw062iw] 2.8l 24v Climatronic system.pdfresized door shuts 13-07-08 026.jpg[/attachment:6bw062iw] resized door shuts 13-07-08 039.jpg[/attachment:6bw062iw] I'm feeling the love! :clap: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
