What did you and your MK2 do today?

[JMF894]

Picked up brand new set of 18's with new hankook v12 evo tyres today on my local gumtree, even came with new nuts, lockers and different centre cap overlays all for under £500, hard to say no really

Very nice, and all for the price of not too much more than I paid just for a wheel refurb.......................

cheers dude, I was thinking about changing the colour but think I'll stick with the original finish going by prices from some places.

Yeah well my wheels are 18's and I changed the colour with the refurb to shadow chrome black

Didn't want gloss black like everyone else

Think I saw shadow chrome on wheeler dealers does look well nice and certainly different from gloss black, bet your well happy with the results and worth every penny

Very nice indeed, they easy to keep clean?

 

[JMF894]

Yeah I wash them by hand with a microfibre cloth, dry them with another then polish them now and then.

Simples

So not too different from your bog standard alloy then, i thought it might be a bit different what with the chrome effect.

Officially parted ways today, the new owner has driven her away.

How's it feeling?

It was very odd seeing someone else drive the car, feels strange knowing it's not in the garage

Not sure I'm ready to part just yet. But let's just say any mod plans are on hold

Time for me to begin looking for the replacement.

Wheels are on after being cleaned and sealed.

Still got eyes on the evo? Evo6 is the way forward

Looking good. Do the window strips make a difference re buffeting?

There is less wind in your face but it can get a bit loud at higher speeds but they are great at doing there job.

Mounted my TRC splitter yesterday, think it looks really good.
The middle and the right side bolts was a pain to fit though, the middle ones i got trough the grill and with right ones I had to remove the foglight and get it that way.

Good hunting, think we've made the decision, a Mk 3 for us . I'll be really sorry to see the R go, I will miss it, but I know Kaz hasn't took to it like the previous FR. We drove a manual Cupra at the weekend, that cemented it in her mind. I have to be fair as its her that uses it most of the time, so compromises have to be made.
