My '00 Toledo Tdi

[richard150]

Thanks for the positive remarks guys.
My main issue was getting something that not everyone has and i think ive scored. Not sure ive ever seen those wheels in that colour on a Toledo. They seem to have changed the look of the car completly!

Ive washed the car and waxed the wheels so ill try and get some decent pics when the sun finially decides to stop playing hide and seek with the clouds.

I know what you mean about getting something that looks different - i hope mine don't look too similar to yours as the ones i've ordered are anthricite too

 

[richard150]

I doubt they'll look anything like mine. Dont yours have a polished lip?
Went down the road today to get a few more pics, they really show off the fact that the wheels are pretty shiny!

Looks really good in those pics....

Thanks mate, thinking of possibly a black roof and mirrors

Thanks mate, thinking of possibly a black roof and mirrors

I was considering this too.... It is very popular on the golf scene... I wanted wheels with anthracite centres and polished lips. Then I was going to have the roof done in anthracite vinyl. If I did vinyl and it looked bad, or I got bored, then at least it is easily removable..

My plan was to go for the vinyl so that it would be easilly taken off. I would want to do a vinyl somethin close to my wheels. Its only going to cost me 20 quid for the vinyl so im thinkin what the hell.

Vinyl roof sounds interesting mate, i say go for it if it's only going to cost £20

Wheels look good, never been convinced by dark wheels on a light coloured car but yours looks spot on! (although I think I prefered the BK299s)

 

[richard150]

I dont see why people liked the old wheels. lol they were awful. They looked okay from a distance but the spokes were crap looking and so was the condition! they were knackerd!

 

[1.9...stefan]

where can you get the vinyl for £20 from... im intrested??

 

[richard150]

From a guy just down the road from me, just an old country business. Bit far for you seeing its in northern ireland. lol

I'm really liking the idea of a vinyl roof or even a chequered roof, say black and dark grey - i'm sure i've seen someones silver Leon on here with a chequered roof and it looks good imo

 

[1.9...stefan]

theres dan s1 pru on here who used to have a chequered roof on his black leon... this will be next mod i i can find some vinyl at a decent price the siz of the roof

 

[Tolly]

I got a quote from the vinyl guy who does the signs for work but he wanted £100.... He did say this was for proper external grade which will not shrink like the cheaper stuff....£100 is a bit much to say I might not like it...

 

[1.9...stefan]

^^^^^ thats what price i have been quoted... did that include fitting.. mine did??

 

[richard150]

That is really dear. Mine didnt include fitting but thats onlya tenner!

 

[Tolly]

The £100 included fitting although you can get loads of different roof vinyls for the new mini's on ebay for £30..... Might try something a bit different.... If I get time as decorating and visiting my dad in hospital at the moment so just no time...

Well after having the lowering springs out of the car since just after i bought it, I thought it was about time they went back in. So spent last weekend putting the springs in the car. What a difference in how it looks. Wasnt fussed on the wheels i had when on stardard suspension, but i really like the way they look now.

i thought you spent the afternoon smoking while watching me and matt fitting the springs
