[DangerDan]

Finally got my golf back today, thanks heaps loon.

[DangerDan]

Didn't get a chance to take a look at those seats and door cards, or the borbets. Ill take a look next time unless you can post some pics

[DangerDan]

Also looking at my car from front and back on the way home (cool mk1 mk2 convoy) and really need to either get wider wheels (do i need to made panel adjustments) or get the wheels poking out wider (how to do it i.e. wheel spacers or something).

[DangerDan]

Rear g60's will be replacing the standards as soon as i can look into wheels as well.

[Jarred]

good to hear you got your mk 2 back.

in future, post all this info in one post, you can use the "EDIT" button to make changes or additions to a previous post.

Some examples:









More to come . . .

Sorry, just needed to get information across as quickly as possible

[DangerDan]

And more












That number plate cracks me up

Sorry I missed you today mate, glad to hear you are back driving it no problems.

I don`t see why you couldnt make the rear G60 arches fit.

Borbets







I think they are 16x7s with Falken 195/45/16 Stretched onto them.
Tyres are just about legal.
A couple of the wheels are scraped and all need a clean.
I have 5 of them, although the 5th has been repaired, not that well.

I want $1000 for the lot. You can have first refusal mate before I list em elsewhere.

Seats

Early Mk2 GTI Stripy Pattern. No rips on the Bolster, getting rare now.



I reckon $250 for the front and rear Seats
$320 if you want the doorcards too.

[DangerDan]

Yeh, the borbets are all right, but would i need to do any modifications before they go on as in wheel spacers or something, or will they fit right on. Also will they scrub against the inside of the wheel arch/cavity because they are fatter.

Im really liking the white 2door golf in the pic with the red mk3, its got the small bumpers and panels.

Any advice or opinions please voice them on either the borbets or small bumpers, thanks.

also how much would it cost to repair my seats compared to replacing them with your set?

[Jarred]

depends how low you want to go, as to wether the borbets will rub or not, the offsets don't look too agressive though from the pics, but the best way would be to try them on.

they should look pretty good though!

[Golf Loon]

Try the Borbets on your car mate.

I`d try and find wheels that fit, rather than messing around with spacers and longer bolts.

The hard bit with repairing your seat will be finding the same fabric. You need another seat for parts. Find me some fabric the same and I can get it done for you.

What a mk2 would look like on the borbets:

Here are a few examples of the Borbet Type A's

A little mock-up of what my car would look like.




Sorry pic is small but net is capped!


Also the borbet type t's for sale on here look half decent also, tough decisions. What would others go for.
