New Wheels...Same Location
« on: 27 February 2016, 15:26 »
So fitted my new wheels yesterday evening, had time this morning to give the car a clean.
It would of been rude of me not to drive out to my fav photo location and take a few pics.

PS 10 minutes after these pics were taken I Kerbed the front drivers wheels going thru McDs drive in, first time in years I Kerbed a wheel, straight to get fixed Monday morning, bit concerned they will get the same finish as original though :cry:

Looking good Cossieian. VW really can design nice wheels! Hows the ride on the 19's?

For about 30 seconds and then I just accept it, if I wasn't as fussy I'd just leave it as it ain't too bad BUT I know next time I wash it I,l see it and it will frustrate the hell out of me

Looking good Ian, as always!
Gutted for you hitting the kerb  :cry: but these things happen.

Tempted to get a set of these myself in the summer once I've shifted some of my other wheels.

I think yours is one of the nicest red mk7 R's I've seen Cossieian and it's colour co-ordinated with the steelwork in the car park  :grin:

Sorry about the wheel; I'd be the same as you and have to get it repaired. At least it's less hassle to get repaired than a diamond cut alloy.

One word Ian.........WOW!   

No, let's make it two..........STUNNING!

Absolutely worth your dogged pursuit of the Pretoria.  Somehow they look elevated on your car. Agree with SRGTD, quite possibly the best TR 7R around the forums.  :cool:

PS: I feel like I personally know that car park.  :grin:
