I have always fancied 2 sets of wheels for my dub, Pescara's and Charlestons. I have BBS VZ033 (better offset than Pescara's) and found some Charlestons on ebay the other day (recently refurbed) snapped them up and collected them from Swansea. I decided to fit them today as it was dry.





Looks like I might need some spacers as the et is 51.

Nice. Really suits the car  :drool:

Two excellent sets of wheels you have. Love the Charlestons, but so pricey every time I look for a set  :happy2:

They were refurbed by the previous owner somewhere in S Wales. I can assure you they are genuine VW, the inserts and bolt covers are light grey.

I have a set of 5mm spacers on the way as ET51 sits too far in the arch on my Jetta for my liking.

Finally had a dry morning this morning so I thought I would fit these GT/Sport seats from 58 plate Jetta sport.




Far more comfortable than my old se seats.

Stop putting thoughts in my head I'm not aloud to touch my interior yet  :signLOL: looking well, I've got the full leather electric heated ones but I'm struggling to fin a decent serif recaros that match my seat specs! No point in down grading for non heated or Manual seats!

Now I am on the lookout for some side lights that are not led to match my night breaker headlight bulbs.

Back to summer mode, newly wrapped front grill, fins and badge. Next I need to wrap non-fog grill bumper over rider things in gloss.



Also fitted the VZ's back on with new F1 rubber on the fronts (sold Charlestons)
