Small winter wheels time
« on: 16 October 2012, 16:03 »
It was -5C not too far away from where I live last night...so time to dig out the small(er) winter wheels.

A change of wheel this year - some VW Racing (Team Dynamics) 8" x 18" Pro Race 1.2s, powder coated in my usual anthracite colour, and wrapped in a rather fine set of 225/40/18 Michelin Pilot Alpins:




So here it is, in full 'winter' spec, complete with black badges, black exhaust tips and anthracite painted plastics:

Lovely looking car with some really nice touches  :cool:

Wanting to get my front lip sprayed to match the lower grill section, from memory did you suggest you had used a Fiat colour? :smiley:

I may or may not have overtaken a non-plod looking motor (which subsequently proved to be fully plod equipped) around 2 years ago...and I may or may not have served a very long period of enforced walking as a result of teaching the aforementioned driver a 'lesson'  :whistle:
