Title: Borbet B 16x9
Post by: swiss on 25 February 2007, 11:01: Hi,
I recently ha a dilemma, wanted to spend a few k on a mk2 golf. Any way I've decided to stick with my current 8v as I have tons of history and know where I stand with the condition.

I thought the first thing to sort out is the wheels so I went and got my self a new set of Borbet b, just need to order some toyo's.
Basically does any one know who can sort my arches and do a good job in the west midlands/north west area?
Also need g60 brake conversion and g60 arches.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Swiss.

I gave the guy a call and he said it'd probably cost round Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£200 because the arches on a mk2 are quite stiff so he would probably need to paint the arches, so I mentioned that I was gonna have a full respray and not to worry bout the paint job, so he said it'll only be Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£60. :grin:

Nice one mate, you're a top geeza. :wink:
