this look was wasted on rocco owners

Really! obviously no taste, their loss!  The drop is perfect.

Makes me think the R will be epic when you've made it yours  :cool:

Wigit, do you prefer this blue or the lapis?

Ahh, was that your goodbye pic.  Very nice :cool:

I love the colour of these wheels and reckon they'd look good against most car colours, except maybe black.  Like to see how they look with tornado red and midnight blue.

I think the only problem with the TD 1.2 / VWR wheels, they really highlight how small the brakes are, especially the rear.....where is it?

Shadows do a great job oh hiding the size.

Well I'd like to pretend at this point that I'm a sentimental old romantic and couldn't resist a pic of the old girl before I drove off with a freshly violated Debit Card in my pocket and a shiny new steed enveloping me - but unfortunately I was a bit seduced by the grey goddess (mk6 no.2) and buggered off with hardly a backwards glance so had to lift a couple of pics off the dealers website 'for sale' section a few weeks later!!! D'oh!  :laugh:

Thanks for your comments guys!

The Shadows are going for a well earned refurb and I didn't want to fit my winters, so I bought the VWR's which are only 9KG each and do make a positive difference to the feel of the car.

The only trouble is that I'm now sorely tempted by a BBK!!
