Second thoughts about Monza Shadows

[am1w]

Got my Candy White VW touch up kit yesterday...hoping not to have to use it, but just incase. It comes with a clear coat touch up as well..2 part kit £8..not bad.

Well I am wrong again it seems. I just got a touch up pen with no clear coat.
Same with my flat red Honda.
Try putting the clear coat on after the paint and you can end up with a mess!

Hi am1w
Send some my way chuck, I have a couple helluva scratches on my alloys from getting thrown in the gutter by white van man   Poor wee Bonnie doesn't look so bonny with grooves in her wheels.

Hi Gizzy,
Sorry to hear about this. Horrible. Did you get his Reg No. It can be clasified as an accident due to his 'driving without due care and attention'.
Rolfe with a duck and now you with a dick(head)!
Do you think you need them refurbishing.
You can get the clear coat from VW with your body colour touch-up paint.

Oh right thanks, no don't think they're too bad depends on whether I can live with the scrapes or not you know it's one of those cases where a blind man would be pleased to see them but to me they look absolutely huge.

Will pop along to my stealer and see about a touch up kit and ask them what they reckon.

Probably say I'm quackers and that they can't see anything much to make a fuss over.

And no I didn't get a reg no I was too intent on getting my poor Bonnie out of the way

All the best

Gizzy:
How many wheels did you scrape?

Two both on the same side!!

Two both on the same side!!

Damn.
I would get them fixed if it upsets you. It would me.
Both together, then you will be one wheel short and without a car. Do one at a time, the worst one first.
At least it will be a 50% cure.
Bloody annoying.

Well, I've been struggling with myself for weeks now and today I cancelled the Monza Shadows. I'm going with the std 17" Monza wheels for now with the intention of a set of 18" Vancouvers if I come across them, keeping the 17" Monza's for a set of winter tyres. I'm more of a spoke alloy person and while the Shadows are nice, they are just not for me.

Good choice 
Monzas are nice but expensive to keep them looking that way, no matter how carefull you are YOU WILL KERB THEM  ,
not nessasary your fault but expensive when it happens and gut wrenching,

This is just my view on the matter

Yeh, that was kind of the deciding factor for me.

Hi Neil.
You are so right. However, I have yet to kerb an alloy on my cars! Now that I have said this, sh!t will happen!

Now, a slight change of topic. I love ACC. It is the definitive option. The car is a dream to drive in 'comfort'. Perfect handling, fabulous ride and now so quiet. But make sure tyre pressures are exactly 2.6!
Today, I gave it some wellie and boy did all the electronics work like mad! My cousin's BMW 330i coupe was left in shock! All within speed limits I assure you!
Love Wolfgang totally!
