UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Well I had my tyres all put on and inflated today and one of my mates put the tyre on for me in this pic had torn the inner wall and said it would be ok but when the tyre place pumped it up it wouldn't hold air and one of my other tyres just deflated on my trip home so not best pleased really with my 50% tyre game lol... Altho they do look amazing look...

Can't wait to see them on dude, such pretty wheels.

As Chris said I cant wait to see these bad boys fitted, pretty mental stretch

Bit off an update for you guys...

Got some tt knee support bars
Red crinkle spray paint for some engine detailing
Loads off new stickers for the back window

And a wheel tease still not fitted. Hate working Saturday's it's stopping me fitting them lol...







Bar pads will be leather sprayed red, called conalising it's like spraying leather and maybe gloss black bars or to keep them silver???? What we think????

Cool date! Look forward to seeing the knee support In.
And wheel looks good you best have a little photoshoot when theyre all on. Lots of photos please

Like the idea of the knee supports nice to see how you will fit them

Plus mate the wheel looks ace there even with out the center cap

Yeah there will be a pic overload on here lol....

As for the knee pads I might bolt them into the centre consal/gear surround with some nice matching flat fitting bolts.

Be a fiddly job I reckon but WELL worth it....

Cheers for the comments...

Nice update mate I'm looking forward to seeing plenty of pictures

Loving the knee supports mate nice update cant wait to see them in

Little update for you followers.,.....

Got my matts in black now had them made by the guy who did my retrim...
Looks so much better now it dulls down and gives my interior some contrast.




Got my wrinkle paint aswell so strutbrace and cam cover will be going red crinkle and my bottle lids perhaps.....

What else could I wrinkle finish???

Interior looks mint. I'm really looking forward to seeing the finished article with the wheels. Were the centre console vents easy enough to remove when repainting? I've got an annoying fan rattle due to a shagged vent and fancied replacing it.

Also,for those that have repainted the rocker cover - did you mask up and paint on the car or remove entirely?

Yeah me to mate it's annoying it being half done lol...

Erm apparently it's a bugger to remove I think Alex said but if you do remove it you need a new gasget after...
I think a decent job could be done on the car but for best results you need alot of heat to get the wrinkle finish like the oem look.

If a flat finish and glossy finish you want then I would have ago yourself... But the paintstripper goes everywhere so cover up well and your motor lol...

That interior's absolutely mint mate. The quality of the retrim looks incredible.

Also, is your life like "the only way is essex"?!

Ha godderz u spastic lol... Erm I think it is in a way.. I have a gucci watch is that good enough lol???

Well the day has come. WHEEEEELZ ON AND DONE...







Where's your stretch at???



And new stickers coz I can...
Oh here lol...

Will get MUCH better pics Tomos when iv done everything...
Any good so far???

Nice mate, get the centres on now
