My new cabby
Mate that looks spot on now.
Just need to get a smaller angled tailpipe and it's perfection!

Decided rather than paying out for a complete new backbox I would use the stainless Miltek that was already there
Going to see how I feel after running it for a while as not 100% on it at mo
Before and after 😂

So update on the cabby 😃
After looking for years as wanted them on my other Mk1's , I have finally found a set of 15inch! Fifteen 52's 😃😃😃
They need a refurb as have lacquer peel but there is no kerbing and insert paint etc is all good so they will be going in for re diamond cut and lacquering soon 👍
My BBS reps are for sale soon if anyone is interested

Thanks for the thought but I've actually got some now, in fact I've got 2 set lolrichyhill said
Like your new wheels though, they look like a bigger version of what came on my cabby when I bought it as a standard GTI

, yeah chuffed with wheels , can't diamond cut them though as lathe won't fit in profile of wheels , so more than likely they will be mirror polished and inserts re painted black 👍

Well good choice man I think they'll look sweet on your car, any spacing required for your tyres of choice?

after a test fit looks like I will get away with just some 5mm spacers from and back to clear coilovers and a brake pipe

so few small updates on the cabby
Wheels are in for refurb
020 gearbox is coming out over winter and an 02J is going in, and I have an 02A spare also
New steering wheel purchased
Trying my hardest to save for some basic air, as never had it and would like to air it for next year

** WHEEL UPDATE **
So after speaking to lots of different companies and people, it turns out re diamond cutting the wheels was not going to be an option as most companies thought their machine would not be able to get the diamond cutting tool deep enough into the dish of the rim
People also advised that then I would have to re lacquer so the diamond cut did not perish and go misty etc, which realistically might only last 12-24 months or if I get a chip in the lacquer start to blow and peel anyway
So ..
The wheels went to rimscarnated and have been completely mirror polished with loads of handwork involved. He is currently now re powdercoating the inserts, wheel centres and inside legs on spokes so they are as made originally by Fifteen 52, and going to seal them for me with some good product.
I just have to then keep on top of them, but I try to only drive it in the dry and its garaged, so fingers crossed I can keep on top of the mirror polishing
so happy how they look so far !!
