So, been without the car for almost 2 weeks now, really missing it  :wacko:
But picking up today, it spent a few days in the bodyshop/it's second home sorting out a couple of little bits that I thought needed sorting (more on that after the weekend)
Took it to FAB polishing which is owned by couple of mates of mine, Simon Lees, and Mark Povey who everyone knows as the owner of the Bentley'd Passat. New company, but the quality of the work is amazing.
They have kindly sorted out some parts that really do let the car down and make it look very worn and used.

As you can see, and anyone at DC will see, the end result is definately worth it:



And a before and after of the masterpiece:

So geez

U decided on ur next wheels??

Daily wheels are sorted. (they will be on the car for Inters, Look nice but nothing too exciting.
Show show wheels should be on in time for my trip to MIVW in August.

3SDM's are really nice wheels, but as Craig said, they are cheap (due to being made in the UK so no importing necessary)
But know of 4 show MK5's that have ordered them already, and as they are such standout wheels don't want to follow the crowd.

Love it, Daily wheels & show wheels,thats how the other half live

I have to be honest I do like where 3SDM's seem to be heading tbh, the 005's are fairly common but theres something about which makes them very appealing I guess its the price and the rather lovely concave on the rear, But Im hoping your thinking about getting the 001's they are absolutly pukka, definatly an awesome wheel.

The package you've built here most wheels will look awesome tbh mate

CCW classics stunning wheel, beautiful finish, well made, monster price tag = exclusivity

game over! suit the mk5 platform down to the ground would make a great addition to any show car of this high standard

but im also loving Mr Als show wheels too  :drinking:

Had a nice weekend at GTI international just gone.
Spent the Saturday on the Auto Finesse cleaning stand. and then returned yesterday and entered the show n shine, which filled up about 30 minutes after I got in, so was quite lucky in that regard.

Couple of pics,
New wheels for the show, 18x8 front and 9 rear:



And pleased to come away with another trophy to show of all the hard work..... that my bank manager does keeping up with the incoming and outgoings.
