GTI Pirelli Numbers

[billyboy]

Im sorry, but i still cannot see the P in the wheels....

We all know I'm stupid, so I saw no harm in admitting the above! 

Help a brother out lol............

here goes
if you look at the rear wheel and look at the spoke thats at 10 o'clock, its got a sticky out bit on the rim, thats the first bit of the P, then the second bit is from that line to the wheel bolt and around and back to the rim, hows that

Chris you are a star. 

first off imagine the p in the famous signature pirelli, the round bit of the p extends over the letters, google it if your not sure.
Then look at the spokes of the wheel only and the bit that connects to the rim is the vertical section of the p and the actual spoke is the round bit, if you look at the line down the middle of each spoke, well that is the space inside the P. 

Oh!!!

I was just picturing a normal letter P!

Yeah, it immediately clicked as soon as you mentioned the Pirelli symbol!

Cheers!!

New to the forum and asked how many Pirelli's were in the UK on an earlier post. I guess this post answers my question. Quite like the idea that there are only 249 other cars the same as mine.

asked vw for the split on colour this week and won't give it, however, they are still saying only 210 currently registered

[Snoopy]

So are the rest still unregistered?  Or is there only 210?

I was given a number of 222?

Do you have a plaque to proove this?

I think he means he was told 222 were produced, not a specific build number for his car.

[Saint Steve]

Oh I see!! sorry mis-understood his statement..

[RIZLA X]

Yes I was referring to production numbers. Thanks
