The point being made is that this is the Dub Rides section

Quote
Post up pictures of your car and get some feedback

Eventually this section evolved when people started shifting their project threads to here which made sense as most of us like feedback on what we've done..

But when they start turning into pages of single line posts about when people are going to meet or general chit chat about not very much the original point of the thread becomes some what lost.  The thread then appears only to be aimed at a couple of people and others loose interest.


Have to agree with you both Shaun and Dom. Shaun yours almost fell victim to that too unfortunately! :(

In the Dub Projects section my project has 3 pages of pure updates. In this section it has 27...

We're not saying cars are sh!t or anything like that, just detracts intrest which is a shame as they are all interesting projects!

Where did you find the wheels mate? Are they from the mk1 golf?? As i am sure i have seen these on them before? By the way check out the lincolnshire meet thread posted the bomber county dubs group sticker on it.  :grin:

wheels were on ebay in nottingham,went and visited my sister when i picked them up.thats the only reason i traveled that far for them.
there not from a golf as they are a slightly smaller pcd which is annoying since he promised they were 4x100 when i picked them up and i had no way of checking,still got to make the best of it.
already been on that thread and love the sticker :cool:

I tend to find that wheels that should have centres but don't  look a lot better in black. Your eye isn't drawn to to the bolt holes etc.
