well you all no my situation with my funds and green golf. well just had a letter through the post from inland revenue and customs with a cheque for £1700 :laugh:
its new car time baby. im thinkiing anni or 16v WOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
what a fcuking result. i must have a car fairy god mother or something :grin:
-
Go for the 16v option :afro:
-
Or 16v anni :smiley:
-
i really want an anni tho. would love an anni 16v but they are like rocking hourse poop.
i dont mind having an 8v again as long as its a very clean anni
-
Get rid of the green one first, add some more to the funds :wink:
-

Not going to be easy, they all seem to have died from body rust or been broken for spares :undecided:
Get rid of the green one first, add some more to the funds :wink:
^^this is a very good idea
-
yes that is a good idea. will be keeping the coilys and rear lights tho.
actually thinking about it dont really have to be an anni as long as its very clean and in great condition. i can afford to be picky now :grin:
-
Or do I fix all issues with mine and buy some sick wheels?
-
You slimey bastard!
I wish I'd have luck like that when I needed it most, good for you :angry:
-
im still abit dubious about it tho. i thought i owed them money but just got 5 cheques from them totalling £1700. ran to the bank and put it in. keep thinking its a mistake and they are going to ask for it back
-
Better the devil you know! At least you know what is wrong with your current car, get it fixed up and keep hold of some cash :)

This. You know what's up with your car, I'd be looking at fixing it and adding some choice mods to it :wink:
-
Or you could sell up and put money towards that £1700. and buy this :laugh:

Obviously you will try to haggle and get it as cheap as possible as its been on for over a month,
Who knows you may get it for £1900, Hmm and it looks the part.
Good Luck. :)

Well if your not sure then you really need to ask them, it might come back and bite you! Believe me I know, my poor old lady was claiming the incorrect benefit when my Father died and well yh, it doesn't look too good :( So please check that this rebate or whatever is correct!

Mileage and condition dictate price in my eyes, I reckon a sub 50k miler with NO rust is well worth £1500 upwards, but like anything it depends on what you're prepared to pay. You would pay that for a Kia Pecanto!
-
Shame I just sold my Anni Bud as it would have been spot on for you :grin:
:grin:i no i just spotted that in the for sale section and i shouted FCUK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! when i saw it was sold :cry:
just found a very very clean burgandy 8v with lodas of histor and the bloke on the phone swears its has not got a single bit of rot and its mint but i gota wait 5 days for the cheque to clear :cry: he said he get busy at weekends as he sells cars so he may not have it after weekend as its that nice.
-

Its not perfect but very tidy, well looked after genuine car, i havent poked the sills myself but im told it is very good under there..... he paid nearly double that!!
-
Buy my cousins 3dr vr6 high line. It's a grand, full service history, 80k miles. Just had around £800 in mods spent on it. It's on eBay. A classified advert. I helped home with the suspension and poly bush kit. It's quick

Would love to but wouldn't be able to afford the petrol.
-
Vr6's are not that quick as everyone makes out. Only come into their own on the motorway but in straightline or around town if u have a good 16v there is no difference apart from the sound. I have diven many and there is no sig difference between the two.
-
Proper made up for you bud, that is a result!! , i'd aim for a nice clean 3 door 16v and if you come across an anni then bonus points.
I'd sell the green one as it seems to be a bit of a problem child and you could end up sinking a fair chunk of that cash just getting it to the point where you can enjoy it.
-
yeah i have already found a very nice burgandy 3 door 8v. looks very nice for a grand but its from a dealer and i have to wait 5 days for the money to clear so hoping he still has it. then if i do get it i will be swapping my coilys lights and stuff over to it and selling my green one and them SEAT wheels i got to have enough cash for some sweet rims
-
see if you can get them to remove the sill covers before you buy as there only screwd on, if they say no, theres gunna be rot!
im happy for you tho bud with the money, your due a bit of good luck! hope you get a nice mk3, or get yours looking :cool:
-
Shame you cant leave him a deposit
-
£1700, bang tidy!!!
Good on your mate, choose wisely :wink:
Hope you get something special now, Anni would be my choice :wink:

I paid £1900 for for golf vr6 with hi spec 4 pots, wietecs, eibach front and rear ARB, strut braces, schrick inlet, schmmel cams been resprayed etc etc!
so £2500 for a 2.0 gti is a bit steep!
And who knows what is hidding below them plastic! min has been resprayed and water has still got back under them killed the sill :(

Buy something else other than a Mk3 as they all have rot, the ones that dont are not for sale or priced above what they are worth as a commodity.
-
that's right BUSH
I'll sell mine for £4000 with wheels
-

No they don't.
-
Sorry to hijack my own thread :grin:
Opinions people what would you do?
Ok I have 2 cars I can't decide between
8v burgandy 3 door with full service history
Full years MOT very clean totaly standered. But I have coilys ready for it.
Or a very clean red 8v colour concept with the red and black leather interior
On Jom coilys but only has MOT till nov.
both £1000
-
Not too keen on the red/black interior so it would have to be the burgundy one for me, no decent 16v's for sale?
-
Not too keen on the red/black interior so it would have to be the burgundy one for me, no decent 16v's for sale?
i would like a 16v but i no 8v,s like th back of my hand now. and like the simplicity of it and how easy it is to work on. plus how much more fuel do 16v.s use compared to the 8v?
-
I'd go for the colour concept, if your confident it's a good motor. I took a gamble on my anni with it only having 8 days mot but well worth it........if you don't like the interior you could dye it or swap it, it should ave heated seats and black abc trims I think? Red golfs are best
-
I would have thought 16V, would do better fuel than the 8V :shocked:
-
I would go colour concept :smiley:

No they don't.
I can guarantee you, almost every one of them will, (provided its not been pampered & dry stored) take the fuel tank off & the filler neck bolt hoes in the inner arch WILL have rotted throu or at least be manky!!
-
make an offer on mine :wink: lol
-
make an offer on mine :wink: lol
How much MOT and tax does it have mate? what is the very lowest you would take? I wasn't really liking to spend more that £1200 a car tbh. What is the very lowest you can do?
-
not that lol
-
Exactly mate. That's why I never made an offer :grin:
So what is the lowest you would go anyway?
-

I also saw this posted on here, looks really good actually and the guy selling it seems to like a decent car or two.
-
just had the bloke with the red colour concept get back in touch with me after we chatted about his car yesterday. he is back from the us now and has just said as im an enthusiast aswell he will keep it till next weekend for me to see before anybody els and asures me i wont be disapointed and i can have a really good look all over it.
think i am gona wait till next weekend for this one as the bloke seems a very nice fellow and seems honest and i do really like the car and it would look lovely with the wheels i plan to put on it.
this is the one maybe not to everbodys tast but i really like the look of it.

Actually i really like the look of that and its got a really nice stance.

its going to be my daily. i dont want a mk2 mate. it like my children to have a bit of a chance of living if (god forbid) i ever crashed :grin:
plus i really am looking forward to going to see the colour concept now. actually on ebay as we speak looking at rims to by. keeping my eye on a set of modern lines. and a few sets of banded steels i like the look of. but mainly i recon i will end up getting a set of DARE RS front 16" 8j ET20 and rear 16" 9j ET15 with cold centres.
really liking the look of gold wheels with polished lip on a red car at the moment
-
Don't be a dick, get an Anni. :kiss:
-
Don't be a dick, get an Anni. :kiss:
:grin: i cant afford an anni. im only spending £1200 on the car as the wife has already made me get a new kitchen floor plus decorate the kids bedrooms with the £1700 i got.
and for the money i really like that colour concept.
-
Can have mine for £1200 if you want? :lipsrsealed:
-
Yeah right :grin:
What that tatty looking thing in your sig pic? NA :laugh:
-
Yeah right :grin:
What that tatty looking thing in your sig pic? NA :laugh:
Jealousy is an ugly thing.
-
NA my wife is called Emma not jealousy :grin:
Tbh I'm not really that bothered about the whole anni thing. It's the car I like most and to me its just an interior and a bit of red tape round the bumpers and being able to say I drive an anni.
I'd rather have leather tbh.
Yes the Anni's do look nice as yours is a lovely looking motor but the whole anni thing isn't top of my list.
To me it's just an interior and pinstripe and a set of rims. Under that it's a mk3 golf gti like any other.
I do get the whole anni thing but just pointing out that that's not important to me as I like to make my own thing out of a mk3.
-
That's why there is leather in mine. :grin:
-
That's why there is leather in mine. :grin:
exactly :grin:
what is special about an anni apart from the fact its called an anniversary?
its the name you pay for more than anything really aint it
-
coz to find a decent 16v anni its like finding rocking horse sh!t lol and that the point is there rare :grin: :grin:
-
Yeah I no the 16v is rare but I'm on about the 8v.
Same could be said about colour concepts tho. Don't see many of them about ither.
Yeah I get the fuss over the 16v anni that's fair enough but they are out of my price rang but if I had the money for one I'd probly still buy a normal gti and use the rest of the cash to buy some sick rims. And other mods.
That's just me tho I Spose.
-
Same for me too, would have loved to of found a Colour Concept Cabrio but they saved most of them for the Mk3.5's and I love the Mk3 look more than the 3.5's.
So I decided to go down the DIY route instead :smug:
Stick with it mate, you know where your heading man :wink:
-
I just like the fact I have a red Anni, and there aren't that many Annis (8v or 16v) anymore.
-
U being Shady again! lol
-
Stainsey you jammie barsteward :shocked: youd be mad to go for another 8v imo,get yourself a valver for a change,there so cheap to run ,what ever you go for get your fine tooth comb out and be very picky mate,cant wait to see what you get :wink:
-
I no man this has to be the jammyest thing that has ever happened to me :grin:
And perfect timing aswell.
Tbh mate I ain't really that bothered about having a quicker car. Iv done fast cars most of my life. I used to obsessed with very fast cars. Had a cozzy. Had rs turbo. Done the R5 ggt thing had an Evo and a monster
T-5R i used to race at samta pod so bit bord of all that now. I really like the 8v's and drive them just for te looks of them now. So very happy with an 8v.
Really got my heart set on that colour concept as never had one of them yet. Really hope it's as good as he says it is. I no what to look for now and the sill covers will be coming off in the inspection.
-
Anniversary interior must be the worst ever trim..
farkin horific is the only word to describe it haha
-
I would not worry about the spec or it being rare, buy on condition.

This^, no point having a rare colour of ashtray if it's frilly round the edges.
-
oh please talk me into getting a mk3 golf. just come accross a very nice volvo 850R in really nice condition well in my price range. i loved my old one and was obsessed with it. oooooohhhhhh sh!t must not do it. my brain is saying make another beast do it :grin:
and the sensible part of me is saying fuel costs :rolleyes: :grin:to this very day never had a better car

I must say I've always been rather partial to 850R's / T5's myself.

(http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z430/slammed_golf/myT-5R3.jpg)
this is the one for sale. abit diferant but just changing the top engine mount bush to a powerflex one and sticking a DV36 on it make it sound better than any other car. the engine sound is amazing

used to love them back in the 90s when they were big in the touring car scene
-
Yeah, that is quite nice actually.. :grin: :evil:

I actually like it too :smiley: and your old one looked like a beast lol

Flip me it was a beast lol
-
Bloody hell!
-
The torque figure.. :shocked:
-
yep the T-5 engine has huge posibilities and very strong. i think the new focus st,s have the same engine.
na i think i will be sensible and stay with the golf scene. the fuel would kill me. plus i dont have the cash now i had back then :cry: :grin:

the only thing about driving a car that powerfull front wheel drive is its totaly useless in the wet or slitely damp :grin:
and very fcuking scarey
-
Mmmmm....Volvo!
If you do decide to get back in a Volvo don't buy an auto! Was your Gul an auto? It was if I remember right? My V70 is an auto and I think I'd love it even more if it was a manual!
Flooring it is so fun, you can keep you VR6, a Volvo 5-pot is such a fab noise maker :laugh:
If you do get another please don't stick them badge stickers and rear lights on it :sick:
A cc is a good choice in my opinion too, yes some people hate the colour coded interior but for me it was part of the appeal but on that one at £1095 I think there's a bit of negotiation to be done, what ever you choose I hope it's good to ya pal :wink:
-
cheers fella
im defo going down the golf rout as i really wouldnt be able to run the 850 with the fuel prices as they are now.
lovely dream tho :grin:
-
Part of the reason I bought the Golf in June was because fuelling the V70 was just getting annoying so I sorn'd it! Miss driving it mind but at about 22mpg average it hurts the wallet too much to take it anywhere!

A Volvo with stealth is mean as fook!

Very true. The great thing was it was also a 7 seater. The seats in the boot that faced backward were great as they just folded out of the floor and the seatbelts were used to stop the kids hitting the back window when I eccelerated :grin:
-
Just want make my point...stay with the golf,defo go CC too ;) just please not a black one!! How can itbe a colour concept when black isn't a colour
Fuel is horrendous!! Must be especially difficult without work.

Fuel is horrendous!! Must be especially difficult without work.
Just wanted to have my say as I had this discussion at work the other day :P
Black is the color of objects that do not emit or reflect light in any part of the visible spectrum; they absorb all such frequencies of light. Although black is sometimes described as an "achromatic", or hueless, color, in practice it can be considered a color, as in expressions like "black cat" or "black paint".
black is a colour :nerd:

Very quick and tidy handling but do suffer the usual french car problems ..crap trim/electrical faults.
But you know it'll be fun up till the point where you wish you'd bought another mk3.... :grin:

Which ever you go for, take the HIDs out either of them! :grin:
I like the black 16v :cool:
-
yeah HIDs will be removed :grin:
im actually thinking the 16v aswell. mainly due the it having a full MOT and tax.
also would be good to try out the 16v i spose.
is there a big diferance in insurance between the 8v and the 16v? also is there a noticable diferance in fuel?
-
No and no.
-
That's nuts. I just rang the insurance to find out the costs of each one and the 16v is cheaper than the 8v :shocked:
-
16v does look the better car IMO. Sounds crazy but just like its had more time and effort than the Colour Concept. 16v looms like its had a proud owner if you know what I mean but also needs to keep the Audi rims to keep it looking that good :cool: But cash in the hand is a very persuasive tool :grin:
-
IMO I still prefer the red Colour concept but both look nice :smiley:
-
Valver All Day Long...... :cool:
You'll love it, you'll even wonder why you ever thought the 8v was fast enough!!! :evil:
-
i asked the bloke with the black 16v to email me pics of the small 50p size bit of rust he told me about.
this is what he emailed.
thoughts on this please.
have a feeling it may be worse under the trim and dont really want to wast my time driving all the way down there is it is. :undecided:
also them plastics dont look all that well looked after

-
I think it's a bit suspect, if it's started rusting that close to the trim you just dont know if the trim is hiding more. And with the track record mk3 golfs have you can bet there's going to be more.
-
yeah iv had them that look the same as this before and you no that under that trim its worse and tbh dont look like he has taken much care of his plastics ither so im now thinking the red colour concept again. i can afford to be picky at the moment and aparently the red one is mint.
-
Yeh the red colour concept does look mint :tongue:
-
Bit of rot there mate ,wing probably not attached at the bottom anymore,take your time dont let the cash burn a hole in your pocket :grin:
-
Iv just found a stunning totaly clean mk2 jetta in red on coilovers with G60 wheels.
Anybody got any experiance with these? I really like it. Think it's so cool. Really thinking about getting it and it's just down the road from me.
What are people's thoughts on them?
-
Get and then swap with me :smiley:
-
The one On ebay? thats awesome..... Would look ace on my borbets a's
-
yeah the one on ebay mate. is it the one that has a jumpy speedo but the bloke is giving a new speedo with the sale? that one? dont want to post it up as i want it. it does look stunning dont it.
wish my fcuking cheque would hurry up and clear in the bank as i want it. and seriosly considering getting it.
-
Yes...get it its stunning and when your bored ill swAp you
-
Iv tried phoning him but no answer.
Iv never had a mk2 before but it's so bloody cool I must have it.
Will be cheap to run and insure aswell. You recon it will be a good daily driver?
The wife hates it but I don't care. Think it's time for a cool retro change.
-
Ok just been to the bank and they said my cheque will be clear tomorrow and I can draw out the money. Have emailed the bloke again telling him I can come over tomorrow to see it. So just Gota wait now.
Fcuking hate waiting and it's worse as its a 15 min drive from mine. The suspence is driving me nuts.
-
Mark 2's and Jetta's are nice to look at Mate but no where near as comfy and equipped as a Mark 3. I think you will love it for a few weeks then be looking to change.
-
You sound just like me!
-
If was worried about cars being comfy I wouldnt have my cars slammed on cheap coilys all the time.
I love the old school looking stuff and love the look of it.
I like mk2 golfs but they are still common ish. But this jetta looks so clean. Plus with my money situation at the mo a 1.6 8v jetta is gona be good on fuel and it being a 1985 car insurance will be alot cheaper aswell.
Everything about it is good.
-
I really like that Jetta, the wheels really suit it as well. Although I'm not really a fan of red cars that does look like a goodun. Get it, run it and maybe eventually stick another lump in it when funds permit.
In regards of comfort and mod cons, most of the later refinements are available anyway plus I'd load it up with sound deadening to, Ive always done my mk2's and its made a massive difference.

It is nice, sore it up Mk cruise on Sunday, but I still prefer a mk3 golf IMO :smiley:

Ah right so you have seen it in person then? Is it as clean as it looks in the pics?

-
:grin:
funny thing is he lives in my home town and area in bletchley
i said to him is the car as mint as it look in the pics. he said yes the only bit of rust on the hole car is a tiny bubble on the inside lip of one of the arches and thats it. i also said is it reliable and in good working order he said yes as its his daily driver and has never let him down.
i cant belive the insurance diferance. thats nuts. im just gona buy a years insurance outright and that one less bill of £55 per month i have to worry about now.
-
I'm outside the guys house pressing his doorbell as I type...
-
What's the door number then? :laugh:
-
That is a very nice car.. :smiley:
-
Stainsy i dont like you any more
-
On way back from seeing it right now and I left a deposit.
Say hello to my new car lads :cool: :grin:
Tell you what tho totaly forgot how sh!t old cars brakes are. There gona take some getting used to and the lack of power steering. But it really is as clean as it looks.
Well chuffed.
-
It's not a golf though so close the door on your way out.. :wink:
-
Fit the mk3 brakes too it!!
-
What would I need for that?
-
You need to buy my golf and give me your car.... I
-
Fit the mk3 brakes too it!!
Hassle though as the mk3 has a 5 stub hub. Better off pillaging a mk2 GTI or G60.
-
oh yeah forgot about that. so what would i need from a mk2 gti to swap on the front brakes?
is it just discs and calipers?
-

cool. they will fit in 15" wheels wont they?
-
Well happy for ya mate :smiley: when are you picking it up?
-
tomorrow mate. may have to scab a lift off you back to bletchley to get it if thats cool with you mate when you pick up my mk3
-
Yeh thats fine mate :smiley: what sort of time are you wanting to pick it up? Coz we should be able to get to yours for about 4:30?
-
yeah that time should be fine mate. my mate may be taking but not 100% sure if he can after work yet so im not to fussed about time so as soon as you want to come get the mk3 you can and if my mate hasnt turned up by then il scab a lift of you. you can see the jetta in person then :grin:
-
well here she is. picked up the car that has taken me away from mk3,s today. and she really is as clean as the pics show. very good runner and actually really nice to drive. although she does use about the same if not a tad bit more petrol thatn my mk3 gti :undecided:
think she may be running abit rich so going to take her for a tune up and probly needs the carb fuel mixture tweaking. i have had more vw and even non vw drivers flash and stare at me today than i normaly get in a month in any of the other cars iv had its nuts.
im going going to have to keep finding reasons to come chat over here though as the mk2 section is like a ghost town compared to here :grin:

Haven't been on here in a few days, you've surprised me with a Jetta but my god is it a good looker! I wouldn't change a thing!
-
Cheers yeah I keep finding reasons to go out in it :grin:
Just moved the the stereo from the glovebox to the stereo slot as the bloke kept the original radio in for looks and had a stereo in the glovebox but it was doing my head in as I couldn't reach it wile driving.
-
I'd have done the same, how bloody inconvenient.
-
i no.
some people ay :rolleyes: :grin:

Very cool mate and please dont touch the exterior, it's perfect... :cool:

Very cool Jetta wouldnt change a thing on it though as it looks so good as it is :wink:
-
yeah im loving it how it is exept i am putting some wide banded steel on it.
just trying to sell my staggered porsche teledilas with 5x100 adaptors for the cash to buy them. or swap for some 4x100 banded steels.
-
Tried the classifieds on the wheel whores website?
-
yeah i have put them on there for sale or swap. had a bloke email me and it sounds like he has a set of clean borbet A,s with polished lip he wants to swap waiting for him to reply with hi location. they could look good.
-
The wheels on the Jetta are they G60 steels they look like them?If so will they be for sale as I may know a lad who has a caddy could be intrested thanks?
-
Yes they are g60 wheels. I may sell once I get the rims I'm after.
-
Have you thought of getting the G60 Steelies banded, coz they look good as they are, but if you have them banded they'll look alot better than the banded steelies you prob thinking of getting.
Keep the retro look and have a nice proportion of stance :).
P.S, There's someone on ebay, selling some :smug:
-
Staggered and banded G60 steelies definetly gets my approval.
-
I know a place that will band a set of steels to any width for £200, look up Alonze Custom on facebook. Not sure if its all one word or not. Was gonna get it done but I've just bought a house.
-
just found out that a bloke i have known for ages is really good mates with the bloke that invented cade wheels. he rang him up wile i was there and he said to come down to his unit in luton wich just down the road from me and i can go though loads of diferant wheels for a good price to see what i want. he said he even has some other cool retro stuff he has just imported. i didnt no cades were named after his son.
cool. got a bloke about to turn up to buy my teledials then im driving down to cades to have a look around sweet :cool:
-
ok just got back from cades. the owner is a really cool bloke and went out of his way to help me and he loved my car. infact all of his staff came out to see it. tried loads of wheels to see what looked good. really wanted the deep dish blue ones but would take more arch work than i willing to do to fit them so we all agreed the ones i bought will look good and a change from having a dish.
he done me an amazing deal on them and said he will dothem that cheap for me as long as i come back with the car for a photo shoot once they are fitted. :cool:

these are the ones we all agreed looked the best (eccept i really liked the blue one) as the gold works with the oldschool retroy look.
altho i cant stop thinking about the blue ones and think i may take mine back tomorrow and swap them over. :undecided:

ye blue ones are nice ,but think the gold are a good choice :cool: imo

-
If you want my honest opinion mate I think your car looks good as it is on the G60 steels or have them banded but its to cool a car for those wheels just my view.Out the 2 wheels youve selected I think the Blue ones would suit your car better than the Gold ones :wink:
-
Keep the steelies or swap for the blues, them good ones are :sick:
-
Im not loving any of them tbh but im not adventurous with wheels.... I like a limited selection of wheels! Get the steels banded

Gavv your car is making me think about goin down the oem+ route, yours looks awesome!
-
OEM...raiding the vw parts bin and loooooowwwwww........i'm trying to find a vento gl spoiler again and watching one on the german ebay site or maybe a seat cupra splitter, i'm just a sucker for minimalist clean and original.
-
Yh that's why I. Ditching the arches and colour coding, think Itl look super clean then. Are you running and spacers on yours? Looks like you got a nice stance with the standard alloys
-
No spacers, i think its the way its parked that makes it look like that, it looks even lower in the flesh and i've had to put the standard splitter back on as i smashed the vr one... :grin:
-
Stainesy.....that car is sweet mate.
Gold wheels are perfect....don't tint the headlights yellow....
Looking good!!!!!!!!
-
Could I be the first to say those wheels are horrid :sick:
-
Brilliant... :grin: :tongue:
-
Could I be the first to say those wheels are horrid :sick:
I do love the way Wayne always strolls in, drops a comment off and then strolls back out... :grin:

im going to run the gold wheels for a wile till i get the g60,s banded. but i recon them gold wheels are gona look sick with abit of tuck they look so much better in the flesh than you can really see in the pics. the glisten in the gold is wicked.
-
sweet ride
as long as u like them thats all that matters
:cool:
-
quick photoshop. im not very good but the front wheel is defo to the right scale. although they will be flush with the arches when fittet with stretched tyres to have the rim right near the wheel arch.
(http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z430/slammed_golf/new1.jpg)
-
G60s as it was but as already said if your happy then go for it :wink:
-
I do like those wheels although I'm not to sure about them on the Jetta, banded G60 steels still get my vote.
-
I honestly can't make my mind up about them, i like the fact that your going somewhere different with these wheels but i'm not so sure about the colour...but hey!...its not my car or my money.
-
il be honnest now i have photoshopped them to the car im not to sure myself. i keep thinking about them 15" 8j ET20 blue ones.
keep thinking about taking the gold ones back and paying the little bit extra and getting the blue ones. :undecided:
not sure how much arch work i would need for them tho. :undecided:
(http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z430/slammed_golf/224689_4122595499846_1178454097_ncopy.jpg)
-
you no what iv decided to take them back and get the blue deep dish ones but im going to see when they have them in white in stock again. but before i take them back just stuck these gold ones in the for sale section to see if anybody has anything interesting they may want to swap as these gold ones could look really good on something els.
-
i have to admit now that ive seen them photoshopped to the car not so sure myself ,hopefully you'll get something else or as said above looks pretty good as it is
-
The style of the car does lend itself best to steel wheels i think, its so clean and original that alloys make it look fussy.
-
I no what you mean. The more I look at the pic with the gold wheels on the more I keep thinking it looks like an American pimps car :grin:
I'm going to go back to cades Tuesday and see if it's cool to swap them for the deep dish ones and see how long it will be till they have them back in stock with the white centres.
-
White centres should look sweet against the red paintwork.
-
I do like thos golf wheels but I think when ever you look at the gold wheel you'll think I shoulda got the blue ones
-
The gold ones do look a bit wierd actually....best looking wheels on that car so far are the ones it came on...
-
I agree, personally woulda left it as it is :smiley:
-
G60 wheels for t win! The only wheels cades make that are ok are BBS copies
-
The gold wheels are too modern imo, they look like they should be on a modern Merc, those five spoke wheels in white would look ace although the blue does look good too!
-
Silver centres for me i'm afraid, low/discreet/cool......
-
they only do them in blue or white.
-
White then...
-
well thats my plan anyway to go back tuesday and swap for them.
cant belive how long this thread that has turned into being about a mk2 jetta has gone on for in the mk3 section :grin:
-
The ones in ur sig pic look the best :smiley:

They will suit it better but I thought you were going for the white ones?
they didnt have the white ones in stock and wont for a long time till they get a big enough order to make them so i made do with them in blue. they are flat faced so i can just paint or even vinyl wrap the centres.
-
Defo paint or wrap to get rid of blue lol

think im gona run the blue for a little wile as i actually quite like the contrast :cool: :grin:

As long as u like it mate thats the main thing. Taste and style is an individual thing :smiley:
