Willy's Red 7.5 GTI PP

Half the Price!! Wow

I guess most wanted the clubsport with 19's and cup 2's, and never gave the 18" belvederes a second look.  I contacted the manufacturer fuchsfelge in Germany originally but they couldn't get any for me. So I just bought some from Kunzmann in Germany recently as I couldn't find any. They really aren't cheap anymore especially with import tax on top, but I do like them.

Your early thread pics help me to decide so thanks for that 

I don't think I want to know what they would've cost from Kunzmann, luckily I'm NI so we still don't have EU import taxes but it's needed as many places in the UK actually don't ship many things over here now...like a coat.

You're welcome that's what it's here for

Forgot to update this, 4 new Pilot Sports 4S' in the correct 225/35R19 size, a good clean front and back on the Poka Premium Wheel Stand followed by a polish to the faces as the tyre shop scratched them, but the rotary got them out. Gave them a depth read too out of curiosity and they measured 160um which is very thick lacquer which I was pleasant surprised about so should help fight white worm a bit better.

I need to get my Brescias looked at. The white worm has got so bad and on one of the alloys the lacquer has come away in a big chunk

If your car is still in warranty I'd chance the arm in for a refurb or a new set, I know a few people that got a new set.

Despite that I only run mine in Summer, when my clear coat finally goes I'll be getting mine refinish in Cerakote clear coat ( https://www.cerakote.co.uk ) you can hit it with a spanner or hammer and it doesn't come off so thinking this will be better for longevity.

Tried that when they first started worming; the dealer asked about a claim but never heard back from VW, or so I was told. Never mind.

I never knew that Cerakote was available as clear. I have it on two of my rifles and it’s a super rock hard finish. I remember asking the Gunsmith that customised one of the rifles about a gloss Cerakote and he said it’s not a high gloss (I just went with satin) but other providers may have other options, defo worth looking into.

My wheel refurbishers are the ones selling cerakote over here so it'll be a bit easier for me, they have done a couple of sets of wheels and a lot of misc parts in it. But yeah I think it's fairly new the clear.

It’s amazing stuff IMO

Perfect,

Different enough without being too much.  Is it just 3m red tape on the underside?
