I have no patience so i sent them off for acid dipping at Flat out Valeting! Picking them up monday then painting them this week then ordering my tyres :)

Still no wheel updates! Waiting for a friend of mine to paint the centres as they have now been dipped, started polishing the lips and refurbing the bolts.

The Polo is now my daily as the steering rack went on my golf last week! Heres a few photos to keep the thread going, hopefully next time it will be lowered on its new wheels!

Next to my friends Supercharged Vr6 mk2 on air (Fully aired up in this)

Out and about making loud noises indoors!

The fleet!

My amazing girlfriend has been working like a trojan on my lips (She insisted) while i pushed on with college work, these are the finished articles (One needs polishing up and then its done).

Centres are being painted as i type!

This is the nearly finished one!

Well alot has happened since the laat update! The wheels are now on after months,

Spent ages setting the suspension up so it had a decent stance but didnt rub and didnt handle like ass, the tyres are the smallest i could find, being 6j options were limited but here it is!

This was how it first sat, i had to adjust the arches slightly as this happened

And after a wash before volksfest this weekend!

Ignore the dent :( long story but the tailgate is being replaced through the party responsible

And this is how they sit! Quite happy i must say!

And heres a few snaps from Volksfest Wales!

With the Girlfriends lupo!

Plans are get the arches rolled and get it sitting better, and also get a respray later in the year!

Cheers!

God I want one of these again..

You know you need to!

Whats the offest on them wheels? Looks perfect, its rare you see split rims fitting inside the arches on a MK3.

also just out of interest what make are they?

Keep it up dude!

Fronts are et22 and rears are about et10! Thank you very much! Yeah i would of loved to go for 7's but they would rub too much and i like to enjoy the car so that wasnt an option, they are SSR Mesh splits :)

Got a few more shots to share from the last few weeks

From when i first dropped it down off the ramp, lowered the back after!

And outside of work with a nice water trail! (Blue temp sensor popped off)

And if any of you remember, my campervan project is nearly finished! Its running and driving just needs and mot and tax!

Not much to update really! Been working alot lately so no time to drive the car but i got it back out yesterday after it developed a misfire on the way home from volksfest, suspected gasket failure on the inlet manifold and after taking it off today it looks haggard! Also snapped ANOTHER clutch cable on the way the yard, its way too heavy!

Fitting the new gasket and clutch cable tomorrow and friday after work then ill be getting it ready for Players, after players its getting a complete respray, so ill be taking it off the road (Again) and getting it ready for that! Needs a but of welding but I'm aiming for it to be a nice, straight, solid car, I'm not too bothered about it being concourse as love to drive it, just want it to look good as the paint isnt the best at the mo!

Anyway heres a couple of pictures of it today after getting taking bits off (loving the wheels at the moment)

And i finished my campervan!

Gorgeous G40, and what a lovely camper. Recognise your girlfriend's motor from Club Lupo. Keep up the good work

Thank you mate! Yeah shes probably more into cars than me now! Cheers for the comments :)
