Oh yeah, I wouldn't go marching in to VW and buy a new wheel straight away. Speak to a couple of refurb places first as it will be MUCH cheaper than a new wheel and see what their take on it is. Most of these companies send the wheels off to a special machine for the diamond cut so you will have to run on the spare wheel for a few days, all depends if they have an onsite machine (most the places I spoke to down in London didnt)

^^^^^^^^^the shame of the spare  :rolleyes:

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?

Hiya P3asa noticed you're in Eaglesham! have you run your new GTI over Eaglesham Moor that would be a damn grand run out to test the capabilities of the car. When I lived in Glasgow we used to do the full circle out through Clarkston up to Eaglesham across the moor and back through Kilmarnock it was a great run especially on a wild night.!! Great memories some 14 years ago now tho lol.

I never ordered a GTi. I didn't think I could afford it at the time although I probably could now but too late  :cry:
I just hang about in here cos the crack is better  :grin:
I'm just waiting on my GT TDi arriving which was built 2 weeks ago but no word from the dealer  :angry:

Anyway, The moor road would be good considering it isn't used now because of the Eaglesham bypass so it is dead most of the time.

Surely a specialist wheel furb outfit can fill and repair for a lot less.

They do look nice, however I'm not sure thats the one he is getting. I think its just a Sporty TDI.

That is much more than I thought it was going to be, even with the rubber :shocked:

That'll be my next step I think. 500 smackers for some cosmetic work is OTT. I'll be looking at a couple of refurbishing places a colleague suggested to me
