It's making my chuckle how so many of you are keen to see pictures of the wheels on a vRS on a Golf forum......... :grin:

Moving on to the next project.  Zeniths chemically cleaned, sanded, kerbing repaired and prepped ready for primer..........once finished they may be coming to a Golf GT near you!!  :laugh:

Looking good! Have you cleaned up the Zeniths yourself. I might need to look at getting mine sorted as I had a 'moment' the other day and clipped a kerb  :ashamed:

Yup, just spent the morning and most of the afternoon cleaning them, (household products and nasty chemicals from the garage) then a blast with the random orbit sanding before filling the damaged areas.  Tbh if it all goes horribly wrong I was going to pay for the refurb anyway, if it works a few hundred quid saved!  :happy2:

Just done a quick photoshop of the Golf with Zeniths, the jury is still out, opinions welcome -

Ch's look spot on mate! I think the Zeniths would suit the mk5 if they were the same colour as the CH's maybe?

When can you refurb mine then? :happy2: :signLOL:

 :laugh: I've already had a builder working next door ask me that, and my mate is after his getting done.......

I will be doing them slightly darker, probably in between the silver and the CH colour.
