Title: Up the Rock!
Post by: Manu_R32 on 08 May 2008, 00:32
So picked up my car from the dealers today and it looked brilliant! Considering i had my camera and the weather was lovely i thought good idea to go up the rock and take some pictures!  :cool:

Very nice!

Reminds me of the time I visted the 'rock' and watched those little thieving monkeys!

Looks lovely mate.. :wink:
On a side note, is it just me, or does anyone else prefer the previous wheels on the R32? Just think the new ones look smaller...  :sad:

Manu doesnt have the "standard" MKV R32 alloys from the looks of it.

Those are standard, they changed the design for the later models. I do prefer the early ones, but the later ones can be made to look a bit better if you take the center caps off and just stick a badge over the bore hole.

If i would have spent money to get some new alloys for the car those would not have been the ones.... :smiley:

Looking good Manu :cool:

I personally prefer the newer design alloys with the centre cap removed over the old design :wink:
Just don't let those theiving monkeys get hold of your aerial or even sit on your car :grin:

At this stage I introduce everyone to these buggers. They like silver Gti's  :evil:

Liking the car Manu. Came out of school yesterday and to my surprise saw a United Grey R32 with the new rims on and I fell in love. They make the car look more brutal.

And for those that remember..... This one did not have spaces and the owner was a young guy  :lipsrsealed:

Now this is something i looked at previously but decided against... mainly down to the fact that I didnt know where to get the badges to cover the centre caps. Anyone know where you could find these. Seen the omanyt's with the caps removed in the fast n furious vid posted a while back and the do make a huge difference as to how the wheels look!! So any help will be appreciated and I promise to get some pics up when its done :wink:

just incase you aint seen it...
