My new MK6 GTI Wheels ;0)
« on: November 22, 2008, 07:24:24 pm »
Well after seeing those beautiful sparkling Monza's on the MK6 GTI whilst in Berlin I couldn't get them out of my head so decided to make my own  :wink:

After finding 3 more as I already had a damaged one in the garage  :ashamed: I took them to A1 Wheels in Wolverhampton and told them what I wanted  :party:

And I must say I was blown away with what they did to them!! I think the finish is an improvement over the factory finish as the machined part give's a hologram effect in the sunlight  8)








After a few coats of Collinite's and Poorboys wheel sealent




And on the car, apologies for the pic quality as I ran out of time/light.



Hope you likey  :happy2:

And repaired! As all 4 were damaged. One quite badly  :ashamed: They used a new acrylic laquer that theyv'e only just started using and the guy who painted them was really happy with the finish. Im not worried about white worm as they are cleaned and protected regularly  :love:

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Thanks Robin  :happy2: I thought you'd like them as you appreciate the sheer beauty of the Monza II wheel. They normally charge £125 per wheel but for people who mention me they will do them for £100.  :wink:
