They're mint mate, i wouldn't bother spraying them

[Dave G fsi]

Cheers mate! Think I will leave them silver for the time being, see how they look on the car and then maybe spray them white in the future.

Never seen them in silver on the frst before so it will be good to stand out and be abit different

[MK3-MATT]

White and red does work well but its everywhere you look

[Dave G fsi]

Agreed! I think silver and red is the new way forward!

[Ratspeed]

Agreed! I think silver and red is the new way forward!

Anthracite and red

[MK3-MATT]

Anthracite and red

You nearly done your wheels mate? anxious to see them as i d fancy doing my 2k's gun metal/anthracite

[Ratspeed]

Should be back with me late this week/early next week. Then i can swap between white and anthracite as i like

[MK3-MATT]

rub it in why dont you

[Dave G fsi]

Agreed! I think silver and red is the new way forward!

Anthracite and red

We'll see mate!

Going to start off with them silver and see what happens, might go white as I love the look of the 5 spoke comps in white!

They look lovely in silver lying in my bedroom, but we'll see how they are on the car

[MK3-MATT]

Dont touch your comps, there in too nice'a nick to be spraying already

[Dave G fsi]

lol, thats what I was thinking. They are brand new, never been fitted to a car so it would upset me too much taking wet and dry to them. They will deffo be silver to start with anyway!

[MK3-MATT]

They best do, or i'll hunt you down and, well you know how the rest go's

[Dave G fsi]

lol, ok, silver it is. But for how long.............................................................

[MK3-MATT]

should be into double figures at least months wise with it been winter and all

Have you got them fitted yet?

Wanna see them on the car

[Dave G fsi]

lol, your right there!

No, not got them fitted yet as I'm at uni at the mo so havn't even laid eyes on my rs turbo (or my si for that matter) since mid september when I was last at home. Missing them both severely now!

Will be trial fitting them when I go home for xmas, they are just sat in my room at the mo!

[MK3-MATT]

Damn, bet you cant wait to get home though and go see the old girls

[Dave G fsi]

lol, im counting the days now! Will get home and and be straight in the garage, saying hello to my parents etc can come afterwards!!

[MK3-MATT]

llama!

[Dave G fsi]

Update time!

When I went home for xmas I got to see my rs again for the first time in 13 weeks which was awesome and I also had my new comps in transit so thought I would trial fit one to see how it looks. I'm well pleased, looks just as I wanted!

Also bought a not far off new set of headlight protectors from sjoyce666 (thanks again) so also trial fitted one of these to see how it looked.

I wanted to get some more work done on the rs over xmas but was working on my sleeper project for the whole time (was numb most of the time working outside due to the rs being in the garage in the way lol!). Oh well, there's always easter!

Here's some pics anyway:

[RS rob]

gona have a read back through as i'm deciding what to do with my fuel tank in terms of refurbing soon

[rsonblackwheels]

[knuckles]

pure excellence !

[FRSJON]

love it dave ,cant wait to see it rolling on those wheels (but fear mine will be before yours ) love the way the cars up in the air

[FRST SILVER]

just beeen through the full thread...

top work mate.. it looks stunning .. them wheels are wicked

[Turboboy67]

Wheels look good Dave

Easiest way to remove the headlight protectors is to pull them off the bottom fist, that way you don't stress the 2 clips at the top. I removed them from Scotts FRST when he sold them to you because he was too nervous to do it

[Dave G fsi]

Thanks for the comments everyone

I was very scared when I was trial fitting the protectors and worked out that the best way would be to start with the bottom rather than try and strain the clips! Couldnt imagine how gutted I would be if I broke one!

the tread on the rear tyre is facing the wrong direction that means a loss of grip mate,cant believe i was first to say that lol

was going to say that when i first saw it but he's only 'trail' fitting them.... needs more bolts as well...

[MK3-MATT]

putting it on the other side would sort that

[fiend]

Can't wait to see a picture of it on the ground with the comps on! Are they 14"?
