Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • R32, what color should I do the wheels??.......

    Hi guys need a little help, i have just brought my R32 MK 4 3DR in blue and I am getting the wheels reconditioned. Now I was getting them redone to there original finish but after looking around I quite like the Saturn black finish and maybe even a different color or do I keep it original??

    I would go gunmetal or white or golden bronze (think subaru).
    Black loses all the details of the wheels.

    I had shadow chrome (essentially gunmetal) on my blue Tig and it looked ace.

          You shouldnt change the colour. It just looks silly IMO
          They look the best stock, esp on a blue car

                      If i can suggest another colour it would be magnesium blue (Volk wheels use it)
                      Would suit the blue car imho.

                        Nissan GTR wheel colour?

                        Although I may be biased
                        Cheap, Fast, Reliable. Choose two.

                          Make them glow in the dark.


                          I think Gunmetal would look awesome
