Goodbye old Pirelli, Hello New Rrrrrrr
« on: September 08, 2014, 10:40:57 pm »
Spot the difference.....


Good bye old faithful Pirelli, how I loved your ride, but after 4 years of faultless driving (and not to mention a change in my company car scheme!) meant it was time to say farewell  :sad: and ....


Well Hello to my new Rrrrrrrr....flipping awesome... :evilgrin:

And from the side....

Beautiful car!

Which wheels are Revo using on their R? They seem to set it off very nicely. Are they VWR or Team Dynamics? 18"/19"?

Thanks! Your R looks incredible too, I'd spend a long time choosing between Lapiz and Black  :smiley:

Must admit the wheels took some time to grow on me, but I'm kinda' like them now - though 19" version as per the VW publicity shots would have been even better :confused:
Anyway here's a close up - not that I'm trying to convince anyone of course :wink:



And a few more for good measure....

A dream motor but the Gti looks far better from the front.

Maybe something to think about, changing the wheels. This was in Australia

those were 19" wheels, which are unavailable to us. And its one case which we don't know the full story about. No cases whatsoever with this wheel have been reported since.
