Can Some One Do Me A Favour
« on: 14 November 2007, 19:51 »
Hi

Could someone post pics of VW ORIGINAL 18" Monza's please.
I want to compare them with my replicas.

I want to see how the two tone colour looks on the originals aswell as the shade of it.
Afew close ups aswell as normal shots would be great.

Thank You

Afraid they're about the best I have at the moment... I'm sure I've seen others post pics like that before though. If you can wait, I'll take a few more shots on Saturday after I give it a wash!

EDIT: I have those pics and one other one in a much higher resolution (the above ones are linked from photobucket). You can see much better detail in the higher res. Can't seem to attach a file to a post here though ??

Ye i got my reps. They arrived today.

So Far i can say that:

1) They look great
2) Finish is good
3) The two-tone finish looks great and will give the car a more sporty and fuller look

I just need to compare them to the dealer originals but from the pictures i've seen they are exactly the same interms of visual looks.

Car is going in on Saturday to get them put on. I've chosen Goodyear Eagle F1 tyres as they are suppose to be the dogs b[]llocks.
Will post pictures on Saturday after the car is cleaned  :smiley:

Unfortunatly yes they are  :sick:
Cut a long story short my mom was driving down a very narrow main road with pavements about 20cm if not more high made from stone not cement and had to swerve to avoid a truck that misjudged the size of the road.

Basically she wrote off 2 Monza rims and one tyre. The other tyre was shredded but the one in that pic is ok. Replaced the rims with proper Monza's and had a new tyre fitted on the one and had the one Monza refurbed. Total: 7 Monza Rims on our name  :grin:

Should have photoshopped it out though  :sick:
