Fantastic!
I'd be really interested to see a set of Austins given the same treatment.

I think this may be the future for my Austins- wonder if this would make any difference to the value come trade in time?

I do love my Austins but it's definitely food for thought :smiley:

Maybe if trading in at a VW dealership, as they could say it's no longer OEM and they'd need to get the wheels refurbished as diamond cut again - any excuse to reduce the trade in price! If trading in at at non-VW dealership; probably no impact on the trade in price you're given.

When I took my mk6 GTD to my local VW dealer to appraise for trade-in, it had a much nicer (IMO) set of anthracite powder coated VW Rotary alloys on. Dealer wanted the original diamond cut Charleston alloys put back on before I traded it in, although I suspect some dealers would've been happy to take it with the Rotarys on.

I sold the Rotarys, and put the money I got from the sale towards a set of anthracite powder coated VW Motorsport alloys for my Polo GTI. The original diamond cut alloys with Bridgestone tyres that came with the Polo are in storage, ready to go back on the car when I eventually sell it.

Looking good, did you get your roof bars painted too?  I notice the aren't the silver colour I have.

How much did the centre caps set you back? I fancy these myself but the price varies online, some ridiculous.
