Nice colour does it have a lot of metal fleck in?

Et38/35 I'm guessing

They start at et30 and can be machined to 40

I did a bit of measuring and decided on et40

For the record there not grids but another rays replica

Read a few threads about keeping wheel bolt holes clean/paintfree, is there a main reason for it, just about to get a set refurbed and trying to find out.

Seem to remember a Panelcare section on the UK-MKIVS forum.  :happy2:

The thinking behind it is that the bolt can come loose as the paint breaks away. Never had an issue with either way and I have had both clean and painted bolt holes

I also painted the dash pieces so they matched. I atually used the rest of the wheel colour then a Matt clear on top. Turns out it's practically identical to before lol oh well atleast it's all matching and looking new
