Goodness me, what a pair!

I think these originate from VW Vortex forums, and I got hold of them from a post on Edition 38> Anyhow, these two are in my eyes mk1 perfection, and I thought that you lot deserved to see them!!




 Flippin' lovely eh? Mine will be sporting a similar look one day - bet on it!

yup saw these on edition38 too, a classic look which is just soooo right! :y:  

Whats been modified apart from the wheels and being lowered

8O Outstanding…………!

Tinted Glass, Clear Indicators and a rear Spoiler?…….all on the red un.

Its not so much that they are overtly modified. But Id say that theres a fair chance that they have both been rebuit to near original spec (smoked lenses here, high discharge bulbs there) which is highly commendable. 8)

And yes, its the simple changes that make the difference here. BBS RMs and a healthy drop are classic mods, but they have been carried out with a real eye for detail. Plenty of people have done the same and in my opinion he results dont look nearly as good. The stance, for instance, is just about perfect on both cars, and neither are what I would describe as 'over lowered'

To me its obvious that great care and attention have gone into creating a look that is close to standard!  :wink:

There both very nice, But what are all them people doing there. Are they queuing for the cashpoint?

Good question  :dontknow:

I've got a feeling they were taken during the Worthersee VW show, but I dunno why they are all at the shell garage. Perhaps they all needed charcoal for their BBQs?

proves you don't have to do alot to make the mk1 look stunning. 8)

8O I'm in love with the silver one!

If my Mars red Campaign could look like that.... :mrgreen:

is there a difference between bbs rs, and bbs rm alloys?

i was told that i have the rs', are the rm's deep dish?

thanks. andrew

OMG!

Someone pass me a bib or something  8O  :notworthy:

I think,
RS are three piece wheels with a flatter centre cap.
RM are two piece and have a nut style centre cap.
The centres could be changed I think so its main difference is the construction of the wheel

Very nice !  That's all thats needed on a Mk1 IMO - cleaned, lowered and a nice set of alloys.
As for BBS RS / RM, the RM are 2 piece - the outer rim is one bit and the rest of the wheel is the other. The RS are 3 piece - the outer rim is one, the 'star' that you see from the front is two, and the inner rim is three. The bolts on the RM screw into the main body of the wheel. The bolts on the RS pass through all three sections and are secured with nuts on the back. The RM centre caps clip on and are flat on the outer face with 'dimples'. The RS centre caps are threaded on the back and screw into the 'star'. The RS caps have the cross spoke pattern that lines up with the centre star. This is the easiest way to spot the difference. The cross spoke pattern stops before the centre cap on an RM. The caps can't be swapped between RS and RM. The outer rims can be changed between the two though.
Cheers !

Mark - HOW do you know that? Secret wheel fetish?

are mine the RM's then?

Andrew

No mate - yours are RS, and very nice they are too !  Can tell by the cross spoke pattern going all the way across the centre cap until it meets the nut in the middle.
And yes, I love my alloys !  Won't tell you how many sets I've got as it's embarrasing  ops:

Hi mark - not seen you on here for a while  

m6m62,
What are these then? Never seen them on any other mk1 but they are genuine VAG…
