Looks nice that ;)

ATS Cups always look good on a MK1. I do like the Estorils too - such a nice wheel (easy to clean too!!)  :P  :cool:

Been looking to get the car back to a factory look  before I sell it on so I got my hands on a set of Pirelli p slots as a swap for a set of castellets I had, missing three caps but I got s good deal.

So I was looking at the wheels I bought and thought I'd see how hard it would be to take the old paint off i bought the tyre changer  a long time ago it's a sealey Jobbie I think,easy to use plus a free workout, but what they fail to mention is the tyre lever is for steel wheels it'll damage aluminium wheels  so you need to wrap it a bit , and to buy the lever for alloys is more expensive than the whole tyre changer itself

I know great slippers, I spent about half hour on this rim with 240 paper in my disc sander, not sure what grade to finish with. I'll spray it with 2 k etch primer I have in the shed and get some paint made up then clear coat it. Is there black paint in the P or does it just look black because of the shadow from the P? Cos it looks silver in around the P definitely not black

while I was changing the shifter I had all the carpets out , I decided to give the floor a paint , it's rust free and solid , it had a wee hump from where someone put the jack in wrong place  so Igave it a bang of hammer and block of wood

Been looking for some Pirelli p caps , but there's crazy people out there looking for rockstar money for these. There also must be even crazier people out there buying them, I got in touch with  a lad that is making me four from s sample I gave him, he sent me this which shows them being made, hope video works
