Mk5 Jetta - Time for a spring clean.....

[Trev.]

ive got a wiring kit lying there, may do it if i can find a cheap cheap sub!

Got the brakes all ordered the day!

[Yawn]

Are you keeping the R Line grilles then? 

[Polo6n1600i]

probably not! Goint to wrap the chrome on my original grills in Matt Grey first - then they will be up for sale!

New wheels coming soon!

[Polo6n1600i]

New wheels collected!

New wheels collected!

Show us a sneaky picture Andy

probably not! Goint to wrap the chrome on my original grills in Matt Grey first - then they will be up for sale!

I'd be really quite interested in them should they become available 

[Polo6n1600i]

Ok - a sneak peak before I get them refurbed!


All 4 are 8.5x18 et35 - going to get them stripped, polish the lip and either do them with colour coded centres or gold, bolts are going to be black with AMG centres and hopefully 215/40's all round.

[Stanipkiss]

Very nice, good choice, I look forward to seeing these on Andy

[Polo6n1600i]

There is one other set of these for sale on eBay for £1800!!!! I paid a lot less than that for them

[Polo6n1600i]

Trial fit on the back:-




An 8.5x18 et35 with a 225/40/18 tyre. Epic fail in the scrubbing!!

So tyres all removed (good ones going on eBay!) centres removed. Turns out the bolts are proper metal, so the wheels have already been dropped at a local place for acid strip. Then the hard work starts!

[Stanipkiss]

Looking good Andy   
What colour are they gonna be?
jealous of your mudflaps!

[Polo6n1600i]

Not sure yet!

Maybe gold centres, polished lip & black bolt heads

Or

Maybe colour coded centres, polished lip & gold bolt heads.

Tyres are 215/40's I think!! (Maybe 35's for a bit extra clearance!!) plus ill do the front arch bolt mod to give extra space too!!

[Jamminjim]

They are looking mighty close there fella!


The rears on the Jetta are far closer than the fronts tho...

Looking at your pics makes me think I need to be removing my rear adjusters to give me a bit more (or less as the case may be!)

They do suit tho sir 

[Polo6n1600i]

Think I'm going for satin black barrels, colour coded centres, enamel black coated bolts and a polished lip.

Plus I'm going to have to get rids of a few things to get the tyres, longer wheel bolts, 66.6-57.1 spigots, new centres and that's before I worry about camber adjustments for the back!!

Rims are proving to be a little troublesome! They have been repainted so many times & with so many layers of primer and lacquer that the dippers have said they wont be ready until at least Monday (already tried dipping them 3 times!)
