I have a mk2 sport tdi. Same shape as the vrs if you want to have a look around it.

Wife gave me a lovely private reg for chrimbo

I fancy a change of alloy. Anyone want to swap for my recently refurbished 17” spiders with new 215 40 17 tyres?

The wife bought me an early christmas pressie of some bilt hamber double speed wax so gave it a try.

You thinking of selling them alloys yet?

The smaller one was in my car but now have the bigger one. The smaller one is now going in the wifes car.

Another small upgrade

What should have taken me a couple of months took a couple of weeks. I blame our work vehicles being to reliable which meant i had too muchspare time on my hands.

With the wind deflectors on i do get a tiny bit of wind noise at 50mph+

Bugger. Bit far to travel.

Where abouts are you?

Why thank you. Was treated to a new set of mud flaps and gear knob and for Christmas the wife has bought me a private number plate.

Spiders are back on and looking good!

Washed, polished and waxed ready for her new shoes tomorrow.

Egr delete, egr cooler removed, egr mapped out. Stops the crankcase pressure recirculating through the air inlet

Yes

All done. Tyres will be fitted on Monday.

Cheers slotty. All 5 are painted and will leave over night in my workshop with the heating on to go hard ready for the lacquer tomorrow.

Getting there.

I know its supposed to be a slow over winter refurb but i have now prepped, sanded and primed the last 2 alloys. They will be wet sanded tomorrow and no doubt have a coat of paint by cease of work.

Well today has been a good day. Managed to wet sand the three alloys i had prepped inbetween working on peoples cars, welding a ride on lawn mower and boring office work. The repaired alloy has returned and it cost me a tenner for the work. Then when i got home i had a near enough immaculate 5th alloy waiting for me along with a few tins of the colour im going to use.

3 alloys rubbed down, imperfections have been filled, sanded down again, washed and sprayed with primer. Awaiting the cracked alloy to come back and the other new alloy to turn up in the post.

Got me wanting to go back on now.

I joined the vrs facebook page, I lasted about 5 hours then left.
