They should be able to coat in a number of shades, one of which should be pretty close.

Default Productive day today

Well with the threat of having to go away the missus want the car sorted out before I go which is fair enough.

So yesterday I took a run out and picked up some wheels to put on the old gal while her summer shoes get refurbed.

Got them fitted on today after plenty of huffing and puffing with a few choice words thrown into good effect.

Then she was treated to a good wash and dry before proceeding to rebuild all the interior after getting the rear screen done.

Quite pleased with the wheels too as they are reasonably tidy with plenty tread all round on the 4 fitted to car and spare is never used.

Cheers fella,

TBH I couldn't care what they look like as they will be the wheels that get abused during winter.

You know what, I had same idea, kept a set of 18" for 3 years until selling it to topgolfer over a week ago.
I never bothered to swap the wheels. I was either very careful (not), or stayed at home if was really bad outside or Mrs Golf was an option number 3

Did you add TPMS or repair fault units?

What was the fix for the rear screen misting up?

What's involved in a rear blind service?

I need to get my compressor done, Its kicking out 9bar.
