Thanks for sharing this with me bud!.. where did you get the yellow fogs from? I quite like them LOL

The yellow fogs were on the car when I got it buddy. It's a film that you put over them called laminex.

I realised when I removed it that I quite like it too I might end up giving them a smoke finish tho.

Cheers buddy. It's getting there. I've just bought coils and my bbs splits are refurbed but I've decided to sell the wheels.

I trawled eBay for ages to find the sticker, here's the link http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=290414792171 you get 4 of them.

Few things been happening with the car.

I Got my wheels back from Mikey at Fife Powdercoatings on Sat So went down and they fitted them for me too.

Wheels in question are 18" Genuine Bbs Calito 2 piece splits which were option upgrade alloys that were only available for upgrade if you bought an s line.

Here's a pic of one Mikey sent me when they were getting done.


They've been shod in vredstein ultrac sessantas and I've bought brand new Audi centres for them too.

Here's a few brutal pics taken in the dark with a frozen dirty car but you get the idea.




They need spaced out and the car to be lower to work IMO so that brings us neatly to the next purchase.



Bought these off Jas106 and they've done 400 miles so as you can imagine they're almost as good as new. I'll get them fitted soon enough.

I also got my new window wiper mechanism and transfered my motor over to it so I now have 2 working wipers again.

Old sheared one versus how it should be.



That's all for now.

Coming along really well mate. New wheels suit the look and cc skirts etc helps.

Once coils on will look even better, plus handling too  :driver:

Cheers buddy. it's been a frantic 4 or 5 weeks since I've bought the car either trawling the net for parts, dropping parts and car off for paint or fitting parts. It's getting there now tho. I'm not sure on the wheels tho, they're lovely looking wheels and my crappy pics do them no justice but I'm not sure I want them on my car. I'm really wanting a set of anthracite bbs vz but I can't find them. If anyone has a set and wants to do a deal for bbs splits I'm all ears.

Cheers buddy. Switch of plan again and I've just ordered these.


18x8 Genuine Bbs vz in anthracite. They're the wheels I've always wanted on a red mk5 Golf GTI so I'm happy to have sourced a brand new set. Can't wait to get the coilovers fitted and get these on too.

If anyone is wanting a set of genuine Bbs calito split rims that were professionally refurbished less than 30 miles ago give me a shout.

Looks real nice on the Calitos! Good order on the VZ's. I'm getting another set of Pescaras & doing them gunmetal as they look incredible against the red  :innocent:
