You could maybe make them fit by modding brackets up.

She's now back on 15in steelies.

I thinking about painting the steels, what colours do you peeps think?

Bear in mind, the mirrors wont stay red forever

Probs something in between mark. What did you have in mind.

I have considered selling the 60's for something wider but theres not many rims out there that i like.

Slate grey with polished lips???

you change your wheels for shows?! who are you some kind od scene-star? :flower: i think anything in camo will be good and grap some points, may even get a photo in pvw? or a comment on your build thread on edition if you have one i think dark grey would be nice tho dude

Lol, you really think i a scenester dont ya joe!!?

Not me mate, f00k the scene


Splitties will be on my truck remember so the van now needs to be sorted rim wise again.

Have'nt got the fundage for uber nice rims again hence i was gunna clean up the 60's with fresh paint or possibly trade them against something of similar value.

For the 60's i thought maybe.....
1. red centres, silver lips if i keep the red mirrors
2. black/dark grey centres, silver lips
3. satin black the lot

sell me the g60s do you a deal with my dished wheels on my golf?

Sorry tom, they not really doing it for me

want sum scabby polo gti rims??

i think a gunmetal grey sort of colour, or may be not.

but i dont think you should leave the red mirrors would look better white imo

No thank you steph

yeah mirrors need to go white or textured black imo

I'll probs grab a few rattle cans and try out colours on other steels

Gone for a stripped out racer look

Before


After



Started stripping it out last thursday ready to fit Remote central locking, Electric windows and mirrors, some Alpine ICE and Black dash/doorcards with red illuminated switches.

Wiring to windows and mirrors is simple but the remote locking loom needs splicing in
It was'nt too bad though, just takes a little time to strip back a donor loom of what you need then adding it to the original caddyvan loom.

All the wiring is in as of today though(yeah i taken my time :rolleyes:, had other stuff to do).
Tested the new additions and they all work

Central locking works but have'nt got the correct catches to run it properly yet so i'll sort that out later.

Tidied the wiring and made it look factory(ish)


Also noticed this spare plug on my original wiring near the fuse box

After scratching my head thinking what it was for, i realised its an additional loom so you can plug in wires to run rear speakers off it

Now that i'am happy with my auto electric's lol, i'll be getting on with refitting the interior.
Not sure how i gunna mount my alpine stuff yet though.

looks v.good. i didnt strip everything out for my central locking, but i think you did the right thing for the best possible finish

is that a leak in the passenger footwell, or did someone spill their cuppa?

Wish it was tea mate but the missus was at work so i not been reliably refreshed :(

Its diesel spilt from a pump i removed off the caddyvan i breaking. Partly why i taken so long is i had to run the van with just a wheel, clocks, drivers seat and the only switches needed to work lights properly whilst i tended to other work lol

lol very nice, very nice. the true rat look.

good job

too much tim eon your hands lee! but if a jobs worth doing it worth doing it right and all that

Rather than search for a black carpet, i coloured my original pikey stylee

Before


After hoovering it for approx an hour it was like new apart from the oil stains. I then applied the plasti-kote satin black paint




The marks are the pile of the carpet from when i hoovered it, not my bad spraying technique.

Hope ya likey
