Sharkie's TSI Amarok Build

Fitted the BMW X5 wheels this morning. 255-60-18 Continentals on them.

Very pleased with the result, suits the Rok well :cool:

Now needing flares .....

re: sidesteps.

Wife has them on her Captiva. They serve no useful purpose. Do not want.

Also, the front mudflaps dont stop the mud from accumulating on the top of the sidesteps. 'Rock may be different.

The only reason I'm interested is that apparently due to the Amaro's height the sidesteps serves as perfect protection against opening car doors next to it ....... not sold on it yet.

Been very busy yesterday :)

Fitted the front fogs mid morning

And spent the afternoon fitting the rear sports bar. Came out great :cool:

I like it. Why buy the top of the line Amarok when you can buy the base model and customise :)

Do the X5 wheels bolt straight up? And are you able/going to get VW centre caps for them?

Keen to see where this one goes.

RE Wheels: You need spigot rings to adjust for the bore differences (BMW 72.6mm and VW T5 65.1mm), both 5x120 though and BMW wheels bolts to allow for the rounded seat (kit available from the UK for about $70)

I will be swapping caps over, just need to get some VW T5 or OEM Amarok caps.

I already had a guy in a Highline Amarok stop late yesterday and ask me how he could get his hands on 1 like mine ...... seemed very dissapointed he would have to "downgrade" .... lol

Baseline in Red with some nice additions plus petrol engine will make it a knockout - most powerful Amarok in the world soon .... :)

After long wait, it's good to see you enjoying it. It is looking good. :)

Thinking of getting these flares: 2012 Volkswagen Amarok Fender Flares

And leaving them black. Look at the white Amarok, looks awesome ... will need some black wheels possible though.
