For the cheapskates like me, there are these tyre covers available:

Looking at them, I'd say they were the same as the VW branded ones, but all black and 1/3rd of the price!!
They have the same pictures on them.

Hi Gizzy.
Where is your post in there my dear? :grin:

Many moons ago I lived in Inverkip which is just up from Ardrossan, when it rained (which was much of the time) the rain came up the hill towards our house.  Thought I would mention it as it is the wettest side of the UK. :grin:

By the way I want a set of those VWR alloys like Ess three and Neil have on theirs, I am sick with envy and may just have to kill to get a set. :angry:

They are not worth murder. Prostitution? Soft porn? Nah. Keep the Shadows. Believe me, none look as good. I have seen many of these wheels in the 'flesh' and they are disappointing lookswise IMO. :smiley:

Hang on now...
Is any of this on offer? I could be tempted to part with mine...  :evil:

Here speaks a bling-meister.
The GTI is verging on being a bit gangsta-rapper for me. A good dose of anti-bling is what's required.

Now, now, you must not read too much into this. You've been drinking too much of the black stuff. I know, stranger things happen at sea. Gizzy and I have a perfect understanding of each other. :kiss:

Steady on sailor. Blingmeister? Now that is not nice. All I did was increase the size and beautify my knob and put two extra pedals to rest my handmade shoes on something worthwhile. No need to get into a spin, dear heart. :grin:

Reactions in red, just like our cars! :smiley:

No drinking of anything alcoholic out here...so it can't be Guinness to which you refer.
I'll certainly not be drinking oil...it's worth too much. I'm obliged to stuff that down the pipeline.

I hear Methanol isn't too bad with Coke though.

Blingmeister indeed.
Micro-phallus blingmeister perhaps, judging by the need to increase both the size and shininess of your 'knob'?

I think this conversation is best terminated here and now...  :lipsrsealed:

I've asked about postage to the UK and he reckons €17. Grand total of about £22.50.

Totally agree with places like kwikfit etc. There all morons who have no idea what to do. I must of gone to around 3 places all saying to me then can do it.

In the end took it to jbs auto desgin which is in chesterfield. And right away tracking sorted felt like heaven lol.

Never get your car tracked from any of these idiot companies they simpley have no idea.
Diesel power all the way
