looks really tidy, very different!!!

wouldnt keep them alloy nuts on them steels thou

[Gus!!]

The wheel nuts seem to be the same where they touch onto the wheels, i did have alloys off a mk5 which is where i got the nuts, i didnt really like the wheels tho so i sold them but i lost the original nuts it is quite tidy mate, solid underneath but the rear arches have a few bubbles right at the bottom at the front i got the car for £330 a year ago it was a bargain as it had only done 39000 miles and had the quietest ohv i had ever heard. Since i've had it i've got rid of all the orange indicators and lowered it and done stuff to the interior, i like it tho.

Nothing wrong with using alloy wheel nuts on steelies

[jonyb4]

really?

nothing about them being too large on the taper to locate the steel wheels correctly to prevent wheel wobble and offset

[- Danny Boy -]

Nope they are absolutely fine. Alloy wheel nuts are designed for use on both alloy wheels (thats what the conical washer is for - because alloy wheels have larger holes) and steel wheels (ie spare wheel)

[Gus!!]

They have a taper but in front of that they r the same as the ones for steels and they have been on there a few months and they aint come off yet lol.
I will probably need them if i get another set of alloys anyway if my car goes through the mot with little cost then wheels r coming next month .

Goodbye; it's been nice knowing you. When the wheels fall off because you're using the wrong nuts......

[Michael!]

they're seated properly on pepperpots... ive got some replacments coming now though as today is payday!

[Gus!!]

I dunno what pepperpots r like but the alloys i had would definately have fell off with the nuts off the steelies :0 i have found some alloys on a website that i like and they come with nuts

[jonyb4]

use thr right nuts for the right wheels people!

why get rid of them, you'll need them again some day!

[Gus!!]

I never intentionally threw mine out they just disappeared (as usual). I even put them in a box and everything!!

[dontpannic]

Put the ambers back in, looks so much better with ambers

[Gus!!]

Just a picture of the fezza that i liked

[jonyb4]

i agree, ambers back on, its a G reg mate, no point trying to bring it up to speed to the Si's and that, bask in its retroness

[Gus!!]

Really?? I dunno if ambers will look right with si bumpers?? I'll put 1 on and compare at the weekend.

[Fraggle]

I'll take that bootlid off your hands mate...could swap for a nice MK3.5 one if you fancy it

O deary me !

that is not only dangerous but stupid

[Michael!]

Not now its not, got new bolts today - plus they're fine for pepperpots, don't ask me how or why but they're just like steelies...

[knuckles]

you mean new nuts ?

mk3 dont have bolts to fit wheels

[Michael!]

I obviously meant that. Yes.

[ben17southport]

imo, i'd keep the clears with the si bumpers bud.

[jayrs]

mk2 pepper pots fitted on a mk3 is fine, you can use alloy or steel wheel nuts, becuase the overall hole size is smaller on the pepper pot.

fit a mk3 alloy, say a xr2i one on a mk2, then your in trouble, as the hole is overall bigeer! and thus the mk2 wheel bolt (allot or not) does not have a big enough tapper to grip it fully, at best it catches 2mm all round.

i have seen a washer from a mk2 bolt stuck in a mk3 alloy before, where a windy gun basicly pushed the bolt though the alloy

but oberall, mk3 steel wheel nuts on mk2 pepper pots would be fine, but its always best to keep the right nuts for the type of wheel fitted

[ben17southport]

yeah nuts is quite important. i had an aftermarket set of wheel nuts that didnt have a taper bit on the end, they ended up beginning to eat through the alloy itself! always worth making sure though.

[Gus!!]

I'll take that bootlid off your hands mate...could swap for a nice MK3.5 one if you fancy it

Bootlid?? Lol. This is quite a debate about wheels nuts. Well i will still put an amber indicator on to see if i like it!! i know of some rear lights i want, they are same as standard but the indicator and reverse light lenses r red, like the rear lights on a 6n2 polo. I have only ever seen 1 or 2 pairs

[jonyb4]

They don't make them far as I know, just tint yours with red tint

[Gus!!]

Yeah that could work probably should leave the reverse light clear though

[- Danny Boy -]

White reverse light will look gay with red lights

[Michael!]

White reverse light will look gay with red lights

+1 standard lights are fine!

[Gus!!]

Yeah i'll have 2 wait til after the mot. Payday today though!!

[Gus!!]

Put on a splitter off a mk3 golf today, dunno how long it will stay on because it might get ripped off lol.




Amazing what a few self tapping screws can do

[ben17southport]

lovely man. wanted one myself but i knew danny would have killed me now someone else has got one though i might get away with it!

[Gus!!]

Well danny will just have to be happy that some1 thought he had a good idea and nicked it lol. Its very close to the floor and scrapes on everything

[- Danny Boy -]

yeah I would have killed you Ben

Depending how secure it is on there and how it's secured will depend how long it will last.

Mine scrapes on a lot of stuff and it finally hit something a bit too high the otherday and ripped half of it off

They do look quite smart I think - and make the front end look so much lower too
