New Wheels on My T4

[melissa]

Got these rims off ebay a while back. Waited till I needed new rubber as these are 16" and the originals were 15". I love them. No more security ties on hub caps to stop losing them - yeeeha.

Nice wheels. What do you use to keep your bumpers clean?

Tasty rims. Don;t know much about VW alloys - are they VW or aftermarket with a centre insert?

[melissa]

They are the real deal - they even came in the VW boxes with the paperwork still inside.

My bumpers were done with Meguiar's Trim Detailer.

You can get it at Supercheap and other places like that.

Very nice Melissa, I wouldnt mind these on my T4 (if I was keeping it) I think the previous owner found evey gutter to run into with the current ones.

That looks fantastic!











It will look even better when you lower it 3 inches...

I'm actually experimenting with vaseline at the moment... for the bumpers I mean.

I used to use it on the vinyl roof of a Mustang I owned.

Hmmmm what about Dubin?

Hmmmm what about Dubin?

Good idea but I wonder if it would be too thick. Isn't it also intended principally for leather? (Natural material as opposed to plastic)

The jury's out on vaseline anyway, it seems a bit patchy in places after a day or so but I've only just started with it and I'm going to keep going. What's to lose? It won't harm the bumpers and I can always soap it off.
