Title: Pics of my Carbon Grey Gti
Post by: mags on 17 September 2009, 17:07
Just joined here. Had this Gti (after having a few) for 4 weeks now and have covered 3000 miles already having taken it to France for a holiday. Unfortunately I have managed to clip one of the alloys last night so am contemplating putting a set of BBS CH's on in Black or may try Lepsons to see what the quality is like.

Spec is Carbon grey, 18in Monzas, Rear camera, parking sensors with active parking, leather, RCD510, flat tyre indicator, luxury pack, bluetooth.

Pics from phone.

I may do, I went to VW today and they are £430 for the wheel alone. I am thinking either a set of black BBS Ch's or have the wheels I have sent off and sprayed a smoke silver with polished rim. One of the wheels has been kerbed which is not actually too bad. What are they worth with the tyres? all tyres good with approx 3000 miles of motorway use.

Strange, I'll re send for you and try again.

Mags, you're right there is no message. I must have hit the wrong button when I was about to send. Anyway I was only asking if you would sell your Monza 2's. In terms of value for them maybe you might want to send me a PM with a value and we can go from there. R32 also wants a set so maybe between the two of us you might get a bidding war  :smiley:

I decided today to get the one refurbed by Lepsons and as they are 4 weeks old I am asking to get the area only repaired and have the black insert affected powder coated black. I will see what it is like once back and then make a decision. I have another car so this one is my other halfs and she is bound to do the same again which would be gutting with the BBS.

Mags,

Take pictures of the damage and then compare it when the repair is done... Quick post the pics ASAP!!
