In the market for either refurbing my wheels or buying some new ones.

They're all the same bud, think the ones I've got are off a b5 saloon on a b5.5, just have to use some self tappers to screw them in to the plastic!

Re: Plastidip finish on wheels

Nice one bud, my mates got the proper kit to do it so it'd just be a case of buying some paint and prepping the wheels. It'll be getting a lot of coats as I want it to last

Plastidip finish on wheels

Has anyone plastidipped wheels?

My mates have all the gear to do it and the paint is cheap. Just wondering what it finished like?

If anyone has any images that'd be great.

Wanting to do anthracite/astor grey

312mm off a Jetta (orginal one)

My mates got a 312mm set up on his mk1 Jetta that he is selling, just wondering of it'll swap straight onto mine or not?

And when I come to do discs and pads are there any offsets I need to consider

Re: Middle or back box delete tdi 130

Gut the cat (but leave it in situe) and then replace the back box with a piece of pipe. Mines got a nice tone to it, quiet when cruising but has a nice bassey rumble to it when accelerating etc
