Bid on a couple of Anni handbrakes a while back. Bugged out at about £40, and they all went for over £60. f**k that for a red button! Bargain you got. There though fella!  :cool:

YAY TYRES  :grin:

I am repairing and priming them today, Painting them Friday/Saturday the week after and fitting the tyres Saturday the 14th,  Hopefully that same day I can get them on without any complications! Or at least a bit of ghetto arch rolling until my arch roller turns up ;)

What make are the tyres  :smiley:

I went for Budget tyres and got some Nankang S2's. I know they have got mixed reviews, but I don't drive hard and I plan to replace them with better spec tyres in the future :)

Re: DanChave's MK3 Volf - Wheel colour chosen :)!!!
« Reply #268 on: 04 January 2012, 15:17 »
After much faffing about and general deliberating I narrowed the wheel colours down to a few options :)

VW Polarsilber Met (LA7V)



Porsche Paladio Met (555)



And Porsche Linen Met (LM1U)



I have chosen Porsche Linen, I think it works the best and it is period correct for the alloys :)

I should have them repaired and the insides painted on Friday!

What do you guys think?
