Bens Mk3 GTi VR6, Twin Turbo build is starting

[Adezmk3]

Hey,
Just remembered Hillman Imps have studs not bolts! feel like a complete pratt now for even suggesting the drilled discs as the hubs would need modifying to suit too lol, completely daft idea, don't know what I was thinking, the drilled disc was to convert a drum brake only car to cater for discs, please ignore everything to do with it I even mentioned!

I will find out to confirm 100% on the PCD but the technical drawings would be great (go with 5 x 120 for now, I can always tweak the print outs for the measurements I am after.
The other question really is whether the wheels will even suit the car, I may just make spacers like you have to space out the standard GTI wheels for now.
Thanks
Adrian

I will PM you the drawing over tomorrow mate (left it at work  )
The material costs isn't that big really so if your making them yourself you could make some for the standard wheels now, then in the future make some more if needed. They transform the look of the car I think

Some little updates of what I was doing whilst Kells was detailing my car 
Got the LeMans wheels on the bench, 2 of em weren't that bad but the other 2 were foooked 




Lots and lots of elbow grease later with a few rattle cans thrown in and there on the front



Im considering doing the recesses on the alloy red but cant make up my mind if it will look fly or die 
Think Im gonna do one of them with the red inserts and see how it looks.
Pics to come in the next few days

Looking good Ben

I really like LeMans, your car really pulls them off as well, I say leave them all black though!

[stow1985]

They look really good!

as said before leave them black!

[benvictors]

Cheers fella's, ye I think I'll probably end up leaving them all one colour but Im gonna do one with the red just for my own piece of mind 
Gonna do the little 'VW' logo on the cap red tho 

[Wayne]

I would leave them all black.

[Adezmk3]

hey,

well done with those (that?) wheel, you have really revived it and I think it looks great, not sure about the red infills either but agree the VW logo will look good in red on them. The cars gunna look really nice on all 4.

these are not black, they are actually Bmw Grey with added sparkle haha

gonna finish detailing on the weekend, front end, roof and tailgate need serious TLC.. the car is gonna look real shiny once its fully done, will take pics...

Iv already told ben i like the rims as they are - no other colour, he wasnt even sure he liked these rims on it but i think they look  A LOT better than the longbeach...

[benvictors]

yo bruv Ye looking forward to getting it all nice an shiny and yes I was really unsure on the wheels at first but every time i see em i think Hhhhhmmmmm Nice 
Should have the other two wheels all done by the weekend, get em on the car and lower it a touch more
Should be looking Bootiful by next weekend
