After what seemed like an eternity for my new winter wheels to arrive from Germany. The wheels finally turned up. The intention is to fit them as winter wheels to the Mk8 CS when ("if"
) it materialises next year. As my current 17" wheels won't clear the Clubsport's brakes.
Though I'm really glad I didn't get them fitted straight away due to that weird November weekend that saw 17 deg. C temps. Why? well I had a brain fart driving home during the week, and managed to low speed 'bounce' off the kerb on a section of road I've driven a million times.
The usual sequence of hearing the sound, knowing what I'd just done, then immediately being cross with myself
for being so careless. Culimating in not relishing the inspection of my own handiwork when I got on my driveway.
Nearside front took the hit, granted I was going to get these Monza Shadows refurbished when my Mk8 turns up. But wasn't wishing to do it right now, such is life. Anyway silver lining was that I didn't kerb the new BBS wheels - then I would have been sick!
So my Monza Shadows have been stripped of tyres and are awaiting refurbing at the Wheel Specialist. Having the same Gunmental colour on them.
Anyway here she is with her 18" BBS SR wheels on and Continental WinterContact 870P winter tyres. Was weird going from 17" BBS SRs to 18" BBS SRs, as it looks the same but still different if that makes sense. Excuse the autumn dirt, she's a bit of a grubby girl today.
