Vancouvers are on their way!
« on: 14 February 2011, 23:49 »
Got a call today from my VW dealer to say they've finally got me a set of Vancouver 18s in to swap with my standard shadows  :smiley:

This was part of the original deal when buying the car as I thought the alloys didn't add to the cars looks. It's only taken 5 months as they haven't had a set come in since and i was beginning to doubt id ever get them  sales guy ive been dealing with has been spot on and the new ones have only covered 6k and he tells me are 'mint' which is just what I wanted.

Tyres on my current alloys only have a couple of thousand miles left in them so a good time to change!

Off down this week to do the swap :cool:

LOVE the Vancouvers!
Is your GTD 5 or 3 door Adrian?
Could you post some pictures up as I'll be getting some for mine when I have the pennies :)

They're my favourite wheels, and I have them too, but I drove a Bluemotion the other week (on sixteens I believe) and just kept thinking "How lovely and comfy this is!"

Car looks beautiful. Lovely picture.
Are those 17" Seattle Shadows? They look great too IMO.

Hi Asker

Yes they are.

They look "OK" on the black car and have got used to them but still prefer the Vancouvers for the overall look of the car - I think they look classier and also being 18s will fill those arches a little more.

They were probably going to do the old salesman trick of just ordering a car with a set on and swop yours onto the new car, then they hit a slight snag :grin:
