right then,

New wheel update. Sadly i just dont have the cash to be buying LM's or RS's so i have to stick to the lower end of the second hand wheel market.

Been looking for a set of these for a while and lost out on 2 sets before but chuffed to have finaly landed these...

Seat Ibiza 8v gti Tornado's. There nice and local to so am picking them up wednesday. Will trial fit them first but my early idea is to go black with them. I am hoping the black swirls with the black bump strips will look good.
 
haha, you and a long list of others mate.

There staying, they need some TLC and a clean, maybe a polished refurb.

I get what you mean about the black. I did wonder that. We will see.
 
yay dan :D finally got a set, woop woop

i think you should keep them silver/anthracite (or ford gun metal)

like emdee said, black always gets swallowed up, looks just like one round circle (i know, i have had 3 sets now of black)

turbines will never get sold, and i get first dibs from ages ago :p ahhaha
 
Dan, Personally I think it would have to be brighter, like your ones are at the moment, or possibly a polished jub?.. if you had them darker, it would take away from the look of the car, IMO
:D
 
well, ill trail them in silver first. I will be going to that ALL DUBS in sutton with them fitted so i will get some opionions off you guys.

need a service soon, so might get some camber at the same time.
 
I really should service it myself.

I have pads and disks at home ready for new breaks and looking at ordering a new sump this week.

I am just a bit of a car idiot really and scared of breaking something....I'd have a go at the breaks but dont have a trolly jack.

oh ! and red crossed my mind,

red twists on a grey car...jenk, my man !! you may be onto something !!!!!
 
Red and grey/silver work really well, there's a silver lupo round my neck of the woods rolling red centred BBS's and it looks so good. Would sort my mk4's wheels with a splash if I could be arsed :happy:

Have a crack with the servicing, get yourself a jack and it will pay itself off with what you save on garage fees.
 
I won a jack on ebay a few weeks back but the guy messed me around so i told him to shove it.

I really should, normally it would go straight down midland VW but lets just say ive heard a few things on the grape vine recently about the place that unease me slightly.

I can see me going for these red wheels you know !!! pick them up from stafford on wednesday.
 
cheers craig,

I am glad F2ed is looking after the 8v...god knows whats happend to the valver. Its probably sat in a Mcdonalds car park as i type this. Shame.........
