my mk3 VR6 aka "the bruiser"

[dark]

I would, but have nowhere to paint it at the moment (and no spare car!) Still hoping I can colour sand and buff / wax it back to similar condition to bens panels i have got (might be wishful thinking as his car was minters - may it RIP!) The roof is definitely cactus (clear coat is peeling in one section and has some paint oxidisation!) But I am thinking about wrapping the roof to get around this. I may have to pay someone to respray and while I'm at it pull the guards etc - we will see....there is alot to do!

I'd like to do the headliner at some stage (havent decided if that will be a bastard or not yet.)
Adapters are next....but for which wheels?
I have the Ray's but am debating custom lips or running as is, need to decide before I bolt them all together.
Also I have these audi wheels:

17 x 8 all round, good offsets too.

decisions decisions

this is pretty close to how it could look with the black wheels:

hmmm interesting choice in wheel! 4x4 wheels look good on the mk4s or such cars as Doms Passat, but dont recall them done on a mk3. Keen as to see this happening!!
what size rubber and adapters you thinking?

[dark]

gotta look at it some more, but prob 15 or 20mm adapters and some falken 205 40 17's or nankang 185 35's if I can find them!

Thanks for the compliment, it certainly was in very nice nick, much nicer than my current one thats for sure.

The roof lining isn't that hard of a job, if you want to wrap the A, B and C column trim stuff, that's the more fiddly time consuming painful part.

Those audi wheels look very cool!

Thanks again for the parts, I put the other door and drivers side guard on today. Looks alot better!

Looks good man!

[Ben J]

Looks good indeed. How did you attach the flare to the fender?

[dark]

3m double sided tape (heavy duty outdoor kind) plus the tabs still click in at either end. Going to panel beat the other quarter I got off you and colour sand / buff / wax the rest of the car and it should look alot better.

That is an awesome colour, why would someone rattle can that.

[Silver dub]

I want to see how the standard paint is looking now.

pics of it's current state?

[Jarred]

[fatmir305]

[Mr V]

That does look good! Buffing it back like that was what i had in mind to do when you almost sold it to me
