Title: No-Rice Guildford Meet Last Night
Post by: i-espedair on 15 April 2004, 10:51
Hi,

I went to the Guildford No-Rice meet last night, didn't know many peeps as i use this forum more than theirs but i just wanted to say how cool it was. One of the biggest unofficial events i have ever been to 150+ cars, some of them were amazing. A few i recognised as cover and feature cars from PVW and The Golf. Inc that awesome blue and white Rallye!

I know alot of you are from more northerly regions of this country but i wondered if any of you on here went last night or live in the Guildford area!?

there were loads of 1.8t conversions there, and quite a few magazine featured cars. i should have brought my camera :-[ the funniest car there was a citroen ax tucked in the corner that had a rallye style arch kit on it!! the real rallye parked next to it didnt help

Post by: jv on 15 April 2004, 11:54
you can get the porker wheels quite cheaply it's just the 200 quid adapters  :o

polished fuchs alloys  :)  would look good on a 'retro'd' mk1 or mk2
Title: Re:No-Rice Guildford Meet Last Night
Post by: Overseer on 15 April 2004, 11:55
really? hmm... :)

i dont mind paying for adapters if the wheels are cheap

split rim fetish anyone?

I'm sure there's plenty of websites for that sort of thing!  :P  ;)  Normally have to give them your credit card details though.
Title: Re:No-Rice Guildford Meet Last Night
Post by: jv on 15 April 2004, 12:05
in the big pic above i think they are 17" BBS RS splits

RM's are the wheels that came on Edition One's, some mk2 G60's and even some uk GTI's but they were a very expensive option at the time.

Post by: davidhawkins_78 on 15 April 2004, 12:13
17's jesus I'm in love !!!

Right I'm off to Turkey to sell a kidney for a set - you can get up to ?25k for one I'm told !!  ;D

Are those RS's still in production, or are they off something else ?

The meet last night was awesome, loads of great cars there! I wish i had of posted on here first, i will next month and we can go down enmass. I met some cool peeps there but i don't really use the no-rice forum so didn't know many of the peeps or cars that well. Some great magazine featured cars there tho. Def going again, it has given me so many ideas!

Anyone from here going on the VW24 meet on the 24th April?
Title: Re:No-Rice Guildford Meet Last Night
Post by: VeeDubGTI16v on 15 April 2004, 12:23

Title: Re:No-Rice Guildford Meet Last Night
Post by: jv on 15 April 2004, 12:24
RS and RM's haven't been made for years. you get some of the larger sizes in Porsche fitment but on the whole 17" splits are very rare.

may well sell the rm from my 8v seperately from the car, just need some bbs ra's to make it back to standard first!

espedair, what't the details on VW24? not heard of that
Title: Re:No-Rice Guildford Meet Last Night
Post by: Veedubgt18v on 15 April 2004, 12:28

Title: Re:No-Rice Guildford Meet Last Night
Post by: Veedubgt18v on 15 April 2004, 12:39
