    I personally prefer the borbets and as for the paint I'd leave it as is/try and improve the condition of the current paint. Mainly because its one of my favourite mk3 colours car is definitely looking good and keen to see where you take it!!

    The borbets have had their day on my Vento, I hope to get the phonedials looking as good on the Golf as the borbets.
    I've got adapters coming this week, the wheels need to be repainted/powdercoated and I've gotta find some tyres that'll look good.
    The problem with the paint on the car is the drivers side has bad key marks all along it, the roof is extremely faded and I don't plan on getting the rust repainted, just fixed and sprayed grey or something. Also the the bumpers are badly scratched. Honestly it needs a full respray and I don't want to spend that sort of money on this car.

    Yeah I've been tossing up whether to keep them on or not. I'll take them off when I do some guard rolling and see what I think.
    Oh by the way, I discovered this not long after I got the car, the top textured bumpers are actually painted that way to match the arches. The first owner must've really wanted those plastic arches lol.

    Yeah, the Adaptec 2 piece adapters. I got 50mm for the rear and 45mm for the front. I didn't go crazy with their thickness cos the flat faced phone dials have like the highest offset of all the Porsche wheels, I'll most likely get some other Porsche wheels later on.
