Monza 2 Shadows

[DL]

HELP ME I'M GETTING OCD ABOUT THE SHADOWS

I've asked around a bit before but it's now driving me mad.

Due to the fact that a scumbag broke into our house and nicked my wifes last Golf we could not wait or be picky about what GTI we ordered as we needed it ASAP. We managed though to get everything we wanted apart from the Monza 2's. It's got leather, upgraded stereo, winter pack but standard wheels. Now 3 weeks ago when it was picked up we initially didn't mind the standard wheels due to the excitement of getting the car but now I'm going mad. I can only find aftermarket replicas of the previous MK5 Monza's which are not black inside and from VW they are £425 each wheel without tyres!!

If anyone out there is thinking about selling their shadows in the near future or has not yet got their GTI and would possibly sell when they take delivery please let me know. I have a large bag of used nelsons for anyone interested and of course I also have a set of 17" standard wheels that would need a home.

I'M DRIVING MYSELF MAD LOOKING AT ALL THE FANTASTIC PICS OF MK6's WITH THE 18"s ON

If and when you get sorted, PM me about the 17's as I would be very keen to take them off your hands.

Likewise, a bag of nelsons awaits.........

jaydubveedub, thanks that's great, as soon as I get something sorted I'll give you a shout.

Hi I am thinking about selling my Monza Shadow wheels when i get my new car 1st September, what do you think there worth including tyres?? I am based in the south of England.

I'm not really sure what they are worth? It's more a case of what they are worth to my mental health and for that I think I would be filling up my bag with £1,200 used nelsons. I'm in the Cambridge area so can travel easily around the south east or at worst can organise TNT to collect. I'm actually on holiday from early next week until the 31st so that would be perfect timing. Let me know what you think and we can sort something out.

Follow a few for sale on eBay Germany. I would imagine you could expect to get between €900 and 1200 euros, or just under £1000. FYI, I sold my 17s for €900.

i've got a gti on order and just decided to change the 18s to 17s as i'll probably scuff them.

if i changed my order back, how much would i be likely to get for the shadows on top of a set of standard 17s - straight swop? would it be worth it?

I also want some Monza shadows!! 

Anyone ordering the 17" wheels and still able to change to the 18" ones PM me for a nice tidy profit aka a discount off your GTI!!


sorry for the hijack 

[DL]

Good idea R32, if anyone else is interested let us know. I have cash burning a hole in my pocket and you could make a nice earner on the purchase of something you don't want.

Here's hoping

Oooh really?  I'm in Cambridge but I've yet to see a Mk6 GTI on the road... you may be the first one if you're ever around Cambridge!
