I've got a feeling mine were hyper silver. I will check with my mate for you though. It's a shame your so far away or I could have got you a set off him

Dave

If he could beat that price i would be willing to get them couriered :thumbup:

Would you require tyres?

Dave

depends the price? cause i could just use the tyres from my 19s i have. but a price with and a price without if you do not mind

  • 2 weeks later...

hi mate

very interested in the car however i would be more interested without the wheels and brakes!! how much for the car without these and what wheels will be on them? i know you said spiders but are these standard or the rs4 ones? as im sure ive heard them called spiders before.

Would want £3500 without wheels and brakes mate

I have a set of 18" black wheels I can fit or I do have some spiders I can also put on. Spiders meaning the standard vrs wheels

what are the 18's mate as i said i am interested as it is pretty much the same spec as my old one!! also i don't know if i have completely missed it but what year is it?

Erm next question lol. Some multiple type job will find out unless Si reads this and can tell me as they're his old ones

It's a 51 reg car

Dave

Ah ok then any chance of a picture of them? I take it it has a cambelt change?

Please note the car above is not mine that's Si s car it's just to show the wheels

The rs4s are long gone but I can get a brand new set fitted if you wanted them.

It'd cost around £500 so you'd be back up to £4k with rs4 wheels

Or as said it can come on standard spiders too

Dave

yeah i know thats not your car, ok what are the tyres like on them 18's? being honest i like the lambo wheels and brakes but the price is un relistic for me at the mo, being totally honest the car is way above what i wanted to spend but it's at a spec i want and there is no way i could buy one and get it to that standard for the same price!

also has the cambelt been done recently?

i and very serious about this car and from monday will be in a position to act fast (car being sold) however im in no rush for a car as i don't really need so i can move fast or slow as needed to.

Tyres on he 18s are good as far as I can remember. There buried at the unit somewhere will dig them out and measure them. The wheels could do with a re paint though as Si sprayed them himself and it's peeling in a few places. I could get them re painted as part of a deal though.

As you say the car is a good spec and has probably cost in excess of £6k in all honesty.

The cam belt was done not long before I bought it so maybe 3 years ago but the car has only done about 10k miles max in that time and the belt was fully inspected by midland vw when it had a new clutch last year. They advise to go on mileage rather than skodas silly 4 year idea.

I'm in the same position with selling it mate. In no rush as its only a weekend toy as use my van 99% of the time. In fact I haven't driven it for over 3 weeks lol

Having thought about it it will be due a service just now so I'll get that done the next few days too.

You might think I'm obviously just saying it but if you can stretch to the £4.5k it's really well worth it. The brakes are amazing compared to the 312's. No fade what so ever like the 312's suffer from and if you need to stop trust me you do lol.

And although the wheels aren't to some folks taste I think they really suit the car and are perfect over the 6 pots. If I was to keep the car I was gong to get the callipers repainted green and have lambo written on them instead of Porsche.

The car hasn't let me down a single time in all the time I've had it. Only things done have been the clutch and a coil pack so all are now the latest revised versions. I know full well it will start on first turn of the key tomorrow having not been started for 3 weeks it always does. I feel I've been really lucky with the car as its obviously a good egg.

It's got a massive folder of history and receipts, also original sales brochures etc too lol.

Dave

What I think is maybe I should come and have a look at the car in the flesh and we can have a talk about wheels and things then! I will just make sure my car is gone before we arrange anything as I don't want to waste your time or mine.

That's a good idea mate.

Out of interest what are you selling? Link?

I am then off work till the new year though so anytime then like.

Cheers dave

That's good mate as I'm off from fri to the new year so something could easily be arranged to suit, you're only 182 miles away so not to far!!!!!!
