my mk3 VR6 aka "the bruiser"

Truly awful. Better just give them to me when you come to collect those things so I can dispose of them for you... Haha.

haha ok, hey pm me your number so I can tee up this weekend.

I like the wheels, once the cars all the same colour it will look Dope.

Wish I could paint my car black or grey

[vdubin]

Dont wish mate, Do it.
Have you got a Spare car you can use while you painted it ?
Give it a go like I did, Just be fully prepared & go for it, whens your next hoildays ? lol.

I would, but have nowhere to paint it at the moment (and no spare car!) Still hoping I can colour sand and buff / wax it back to similar condition to bens panels i have got (might be wishful thinking as his car was minters - may it RIP!) The roof is definitely cactus (clear coat is peeling in one section and has some paint oxidisation!) But I am thinking about wrapping the roof to get around this. I may have to pay someone to respray and while I'm at it pull the guards etc - we will see....there is alot to do!

I'd like to do the headliner at some stage (havent decided if that will be a bastard or not yet.)
Adapters are next....but for which wheels?
I have the Ray's but am debating custom lips or running as is, need to decide before I bolt them all together.
Also I have these audi wheels:

17 x 8 all round, good offsets too.

this is pretty close to how it could look with the black wheels:

hmmm interesting choice in wheel! 4x4 wheels look good on the mk4s or such cars as Doms Passat, but dont recall them done on a mk3. Keen as to see this happening!!
what size rubber and adapters you thinking?

[dark]

gotta look at it some more, but prob 15 or 20mm adapters and some falken 205 40 17's or nankang 185 35's if I can find them!

Thanks for the compliment, it certainly was in very nice nick, much nicer than my current one thats for sure.

The roof lining isn't that hard of a job, if you want to wrap the A, B and C column trim stuff, that's the more fiddly time consuming painful part.

Those audi wheels look very cool!

Thanks again for the parts, I put the other door and drivers side guard on today. Looks alot better!
