Like the look of those - which ones are they exactly? Can I be rude and ask how many $$$?

Be interested to see a pic when they are on the car.

Rotated my dying Bridgestones to wear out the rears on the front before getting rid. Also took the opportunity to install some TPI 12mm spacers all round from Motech Performance - much better stance now.

Sealed my new wheels which I will use for winters.
18" Pretoria copies from CM wheels.
Getting Goodyear Ultra Performance Gen-1 tyres hopefully this week to fit next weekend.

I've just bought the same wheels from CM, but in Hyper Silver. Have put a set of Bridgestone Weather control A005s on. Will get pics up when fitted. Just waiting for VW Centre caps to arrive. (The ones from the Austins dont fit...)

Tried to fit some carbon mirror caps today... unfortunately despite buying what I thought would be a decent product, they don’t fit.

Anyone fitted new mirror caps? Shouldn’t need to be forced into place should they? The OEM one slotted back with almost no effort. Quality of the finish is good but they just aren’t the same shape as the inside part is too curved in.

Shame, they look really nice quality.

They do require a bit of force as they don’t flex like the oem plastic. Normally needs the inner corner flexing out a bit to fit.
