Funkbaron's mk2 Golf VR6 transplant thread (update pg15)

Yeh, just a tad But, as I don't intend on selling it, and it's more than just a cheap a-b car for me, it's all worth the pennies spent. Plus, doing all the work myself means I only pay out for parts - I'd hate to have to cover the labour cost I've put in to it. Build yourself a VR mk2 one day, deffo worth the effort.

 

not sure if ive posted in this thread, if i have ill just say it again... that car rocks

 

With turbo power it will be more of a A-Z car. Looks great!

 

You can't rock Black centered splits.... cause thats what i'm running on my VR when the weather gets better. 8x15 RMs with 195/45/15's and polished outer rims.

well what can i say, this car is a right peach. i do think the wheels left how they are look the best. this car almost looks as good as a mr kipling cake ( hahahah baz loves them!!)

 

[:^(] I'd destroy Mr Kipling if I ever saw him...

 

the black centres make the wheel look small and out of place imo silver or keep the borbets on

 

No way man, Stick with the BBS!!!

 

sorry funk i think they look crap

 

phat.

 

bbs have gotta stay silver, and at least have 195/45's on them

 

Go with black centres, with the centre cap painted black as well, looks cool.

 

Will have to wait to see what they look like in the flesh on the car in silver I guess...

Anybody know the best place to get outer rims for the RM's, and what's the advantage of running stainless steel over polished ally ones, other than strength (better weather resistance?)?

 

'justmats' might be good for the outer rims.....

 

95 each[:^(]

 

Arrived in the post yesterday

 

Woooo! I still think keep 'em silver!

Wow, this is mk2 Golf perfection imo, a lovely standard looking mint mk2, but with a VR6/VR6T under the bonnet!!

Fantastic work

Love the new rims, prefer them with silver centres personally.

 

Black centes with the 2 inch extra on the rims would look 'proper bo' , Im thinking of getting my centres redone at the end of the year - and my car's black!

 

my old rims may give you some idea. the outer ring of the centre cap needs to be black tho.




excuse the scabby wing lol
