Will look good on the cups, although I think you should give them to me as they are better suited on a mk1   :wink:  :grin:

LOVE cups.

Always on the lookout for MiM cups as they come in 16s.

didnt know that, 16s are the ideal size for mk3s i think, shame mine are 15s


I have started working on the cups again as i want them fitted asap, im still struggling to get them to a nice finish, im having to use a heavy grade paper/sanding drum to get the machining marks and pitting off but then thats leaving deep scratches which are then also hard to get rid of
heres what they are like



quick pic of one of the arches, this is the best of the lot  :grin: the others need a little tweak
the lips rolled up flat and then the arch flared very slightly

what you need on those wheels mate is this stuff not necessarily this grade maybe a better grade but its alot better than using sandpaper  :smiley: IMO anyway good progress liking the arches can get them wheels spaced out now  :wink:

Right, not updated this in a while

Not a whole lot has gone on, i've been sorting out my audio, got a new sub and mounted the amp and everything in the boot and amped the front and rear door speakers so thats all good now

I've put the Cups on for MOT as my 13"s tyres are getting low, it sits pretty nice, they still arnt refurbed though



arh needed a tweak :P




i've also got some 8J cups to go on the rear, 15x8 ET18
Just need to get the tyres to tuck and its all good :) if you can help i have made a post in the mk3 section about it
