Title: Men 'NOT' in VW
Post by: dub-addict on 26 September 2011, 20:23
So I bought a mk3 vr6 as a daily a few months ago.. it came with its standard Cross spoke BBS wheels but painted lime green.
its standard looking with coilovers and the lime wheels. so pretty much as vw intended.

Ok, the lime green! ..not my favorite of colours on wheels but it grew on me a little.
and as its just a daily I dont mind the odd weird look from a pedestrian.

but today something odd happened.

Parked my car up at my local tesco and this guy comes up to me as if he is angry about something and says to me..

MR nobody: "why cant you have them painted silver , this is so gay and your car is just fugly........"

ME : "well because I like to be a bit different and hopefully not end up as a criticizing little wa**er like you"


he walked off and jumped into his 5 door pug 206....


I just found this to be totally inappropriate behavior.  he probably was in a bad mood and saw something else that was green with...  :laugh:

Well I might just paint the wheels black soon anyway  :grin:

 My mk2..I brought her back from germany, LHD and fitted the new bumpers ,early arch trims and made some side stripes with the thin stripe at the top to cover the holes and the tiny scratches the gti trim had made.

I do need a new left door though.. do you see how it kicks out at the bottom? , it looks crocked and doesn't sit flush

have new coilovers for her too, will fit them next summer, the current ones didn't want to go lower after last winter.. rusted Spax.

also have new lips for the bbs's
