You know it makes sense!

Good lookin' badge i have isn't it? Here's the link to the ebay site dude:

I still think the black badge on my car would look a bit too obvious...I like the mk4 hatch badge Jondarren has so I might have to chase him up for a link..

Then of course I'd have to get other blue things to match...calipers, front badge...

I want one too ... I can buy 2 and put them in the one envelope, interested Mickey? And anyone else for that matter?

[Jondarren]

Dead simple install too so once you get them i'll send you a PM with how i fitted mine.

Yeah dude sounds good. I wonder if I can paint the black rubber strip white...

Good to hear from you in this section Trent, here's hoping I can provide some entertainment with a baby brother to your car
I'm still faffing about with wheels, I'm trying to get my mate's goodyear eagle F1's off him (<$350) but if that's too hard to replace I've got to go to the shop and grab some others. I hope I get them on soon...I want to see it sooooo bad! And I'll be getting spacers if they aren't phat enough

Good stuff mate. If you can get the F1s off him cheap that'd be awesome. Black badging would look sweet with the black bump striping and stuff but as you say it is an obvious mod. Heh blue callipers for the win. I'm going to see if I can get Jimmy to give mine a good clean this weekend when he does my pads and rotors.

Thanks also to Ray and others for the tips on getting off the badges. Don't know if i'm going to it yet but it's good to know how.

[Mrk_Mickey]

F1's will be cheap, but I'm getting increasingly worried...he's constantly skidding around in them and scraping when going around hard corners/with people in car so the tyres might be getting some serious damage.

Although, if I sort a set of wheels out for him in the right size with tyres for $250 he won't ask me for any more for the tyres.....

mickey if you want i may be able to set you up with a set of brand new tyres for round like $400 somethin like kumhos. my dad imports wheels and tyres for one of his clients at rockdale.

[Lorenz]

Some of the new Kumhos are quite good. Have a look at the newer Sumitomos aswell if you want good cheap tyres. Very very sticky tires and seem to last quite some time. Alot of my mates skid (drift) on them as steer tyres and love em.

[Mrk_Mickey]

Thanks Dom, I might give you a holla when looking at options. As far as I know, the Kumho Ecsta KU31's go for $110 at tempe fitted and balanced. If I could get that for $90 I'd be very happy (DOM...)

EDIT: While searching eBay with a fine-toothed comb, I emailed a seller regarding tyres for the price and he came back to me with Achilles ATR Sport's. $100 fitted and balanced, and they actually look like a good tyre! Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

DOUBLE EDIT: Dom, PRE-T-T-Y sure you should wrap your Volks and stick them on your fricken' car!
