Tyres have arrived all the way from Germany
£220 delivered
Alloys getting refurbed on Friday in Anthracite
Also, added a forum sticker to the back. Not sure if I should put another 2, 1 on either rear side window though. Any thoughts?

Re: MK2b Sporting
Thought it might look a bit too much with more than one
I hope the wheels come out ok, and hopefully I shouldnt be able to scuff them as the new tyres have a rim protection edge on them
Just waiting on finishing the speaker build in the boot now
Only the side panels left to make

Hmm wheels don't do it for me. I like alloys to stand out from the car.

What do people think to red calipers and black drums?
was going to go all red but may have been persuaded otherwise

Re: MK2b Sporting
I'd leave the calipers and drums black as it emphasises the smallness of them and lack of rear discs if they're red.
But maybe red centre caps? That's the look I'm doing for my Sporting wheels - black with red centre caps.
I like the wheels that colour

Not a bad idea, i dont really wana remove the centre caps now tho incase i damage the wheels
plus the badges over the centre caps match the ones on the front and rear
surely red calipers would be acceptable?
