The old tyres were falken semi-slicks which were fully slick in some parts, and down to the canvas in others. The ad did mention that though...

Yeah, I was always going to replace the rubber if I got them. Phoning around today actually to get a good price on some RE001s...

washed the car yesterday. Will be doing a full overhaul on cleaning the paint, re-painting the calipers and giving the guards a good wash over easter. Can't Wait!!!

really want these rims tho, and then some new springs to 'drop it like its hot' and bring justice to the wide and low sticker i bought from piere

Canada & Japan were amazing - knee-deep dry pow, nothing like the wet stuff you get in Oz. I think The Remarkables already had 20cm dump on the 11th of March! Hopefully it will be a killer season. I'm probably going to Falls now to take my GF to the snow for the first time....it's gonna be painful I think! Will probably drive the Bora over, so at least that will be fun

Now, back OT - those rims will look nice.....black on black is always very slick. Today I got some mats for the Bora after getting sand in her on the weekend.....hopefully these will make cleaning the interior a bit easier! http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Volkswagen-Bo...3A1|240%3A1318

Looking at coilovers next but that may take a few months to save for.

Hey Marshall, thanks!

Where and how much for the R32 trim bits, a lad in Adelaide is looking for some.
Cheers
Gavin

EDIT And the car looks really well
