OK, well as mentioned earlier these are my colour choices so far. not all pics are on mk1's but i cant do photoshop!!
Viper Green
Lambo Verde Green
Champagne Silver Gold
Pearl Grey
Toreador Sunset Red
Like i say, wont be to everyones tastes and i'm sure i'll change my mind a dozen times again. just getting peoples views and opinions please
Ronals will either be Magnesium gold, or Crackle Black. i also have new black side trim for five door, planned to do black bumpered, so less chrome
Cheers

Hello, i'm jim, sometimes i do stuff to my golf and forget to post it up!!!
Sorry, its been a while, but i've been busy chipping away at the bay and its not much fun to do or look at!! my garage floor looks like a coke dealers den and i daren't sneeze!! anyway its nearly done now so will be posting the pics up at the weekend.
Anyway, todays update:
Well i little while ago i posted up my ronal magnesium splits i bought via Joe
well they came with a load of barrels, dishes, adapters etc. so i made them up and bolted them on................lets just say the poke was a little extreme
now i had the option to buy new dishes from image, like everyone else has run on these wheels, but i'm not a fan of this "scene" 0" or 1" lips shenanigans...i wanted real dish and depth, so 3" dishes were bolted up to the rear and this is how it looked from above
not too bad, but was gonna need some work..
soo, an ebay buy picked up a complete rear beam which after stripping down etc i marked up ready for chopping
then it was off to Rich at RSC fabrications this morning to give me a hand
Got loads more pics but you get the idea, 3" (90mm) narrowed, all braced, shock geometry unchanged and probably more weld than VW ever did.
Now i know some may say "damn thats a lot of work to make some wheels fit" but hey-ho there the wheels i want to run, and i'm not gonna just give up just cos it wasn't straight forward bolt on n ride
thanks for looking, comments welcome
