very nice. you plannin on keepin the original wheels somethin deep 15 inch would look smart on it.

 

Lovely looking car, I am very jealous of your seats

 

That's a lovely 5 door 16V... is it black metallic or straight black?

 

Cheers for the good comments, I,m planning on getting a set of BBS RSs thinking 16". Also its met black (Greenblood).

 

Lovely mint golf

 

Got my new wheels, they've been giving me nothing but hassel. Long story short, all I have to do now is get ten longer bolts. Then I can finally fit them.

My dog seems to like them.

 

omg, nice shoes

 

Managed to get the wheels on today after getting new hub-centric rings and longer bolts for the front two wheels. I thought I was all set, when I went to reverse out of the workshop, I heard this screeching sound. It was from the front passenger side, the longer bolts went too far through the hub and hit behind the disc. Now I have to go and get them cut down in the morning, Then hopefully I can get all four on.

Heres a few pics I took anyway.

 

That looks flipping great Johnny, bet youre delighted with it! Looking forward to seeing it tomorrow (ummm, today) night...

I had a very similar issue with my adapter bolts, front and back. Nothing an angle cant sort (angle grinders done an awful lot of unseen work now

)

 

That looks fucking class, you cannot beat rs's and 16's are the perfect size for a mk3 daily driver. Great Job, well done.

I have a very nice magnex stainless back box here for a mk3 16v. I will stick it in the boot if I make it up to the meet tomorrow

 

Cheers, should be ready for tomorrow night, gettin the lads at alloy repairs to cut them down in the morning. German plates and vagdrivers plate holders next on my list.

 

The car looks savage with the new wheels Jonny, all the trouble was worth it. I'll be grilling you with qustions later.

 

Cheers, yeah was definetly worth the hassel. Grill away

 

mint car, those alloys are savage

 

wow, them RS are the flippin business.... what was the damage?

 

Wow, was not a huge fan of the mk3 but that one is lovely, wheels really suit it

 

Cheers lads.

Ya gotta love Ebay

They are class. Nice car man. Love them wheels

 

Looks savage , very good inwestment !
Had the same problem with longer studs for my spacers, but I ve noticed the problem when car was still jacked up ...... well I cut 8 studs using hacksaw .... took ages of course haha

 

The car looked really well at the meet Jonnie, has given me a few ideas for mine.

 

Cheers, Its a shame you didn't get to bring the bettle last night.I was lookin forward to seeing it.

 

My german plates came today

waiting on the vagdrivers plate holder and tax disc holders.

 

Oh, I also sprayed my spoiler satin black on sat coz it was faded grey. I'm pretty happy with it considering it was done with spray cans and I've never sprayed anything on a car before. Helped my brother spray his rear bumper on his corrado, well between coats on the spoiler.
here it is
