What have you done to your mk4 (golf/bora) today?

Finally got my new wheels/tyres on! Khumo KU31 225/45/17 on Bora Sport wheels with 10mm spacers in the back (in this pic). I was getting a bit of rubbing on the fronts at full lock (on the strut, as far as I can work out) so I've since moved the spacers to the front and that's fixed it, just means I have whack fitment til new 15mm spacers arrive for the rear.

New wheels...

Yes, they are different to the Aristos...

...but not so different to the prototype Essen 2001 car

If its rubbing on lock its most likely to be the inside of the wheel arch. Do it for long enough and you will end up with a polished section towards the headlight corner of the arch

I have to ask what paint you ended up going for? Initially I was leaning towards Plastidip, but the paint you've used looks good (there was another guy on uk-mkiv's who use paint and it looked great too).
This interior business is on my to do list as well and I've nearly finished gathering bits and pieces.

i initially wanted to plasti-dip too but the feel of it put me off. Kendog found some awesome paint that gives a factory look from bunnings (image below)

I also used some satin black for the trim around the radio and stuff for a unique look
