had a crappy boot with shocking paint work since i bought it, nothing i could do with it besides a respray, so i bought another boot with a new lock aswell, as mine had been hacked at with a screwdriver.

recently i gave the lock to a mate to change the inside to match my key, got it back today, and had my boot in the shed for a while, newly resprayed, debadged.

put the lock on and fitted it today. very happy.

Are the wheels secret till they are fitted?

How low are you planning to go?

nah, no secret, i did put a post up a while back, will put up a pic now.

and the plan is 80 front, and probally about 70 back. getting the 80/60 kit, hopefully will come during the week.

just need the tyres, but spent my money on a night out in town this week, so some time soon i'll buy some tyres.

they are 13x6j might need some spacers on the rears to give it a nicer stance.

thoshe wheels are imense man ! What are they ?

Rotex/Votex or something like that i think? Saw them on ebay ages ago.

wow those wheels are the bollox! Car should look even sexier once its down and on those bad boys.

id be tempted to smooth out the rear boot lock and get it to open via solenoid, those wheels will look the nuts, get em on now boyo

I need boot lock smoothige .. hmmmm ...

New boot looks quality.

I really like the 'Loons for some reason.

didnt realise this was my thread until i opened it

cheers all, yeah the wheels are Ronal Votex 6x13, got tyres fitted to them on the weekend, 175/50/13 yoko's

look even better now, got my 80 kit for them, just waiting for a mate to help, taking it to a vw garage to get it done for a crate of beer it should be within a couple of weeks until i get the kit on, then the wheels will go on.

as for the lock, i was thinking about it, but i wasnt to sure on how to do it, but I'm happy with it like that at the moment, after its lowered and got the wheels on, I'm going to be saving to sort out the bodywork, any rust, dents, chips, scratches.. so pretty much a full respray to go along with it, not sure if i should keep it the same colour or not, but thats a long way of yet. and in desperate need of new interior, my sucks, nothing wrong with it, they're pretty mint actually, i jsut want coupe s ones or possibly the checkered ones if i can find any.
