Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkYeah, the original version. They did a new version of them but not very good. They are going for refurb soon, been on the Vento 14 years or more so seen a bit of action Link to post Share on other sites
Bealieboy 1,625 Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 They look good on the vento too. Multi spoke suit the mk3 pretty well I think. I was going to put 17" pro race 1.2's on mine but went for lenso bsx as they had tyres already fitted. Good old eBay!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk PeteVRT 1 Link to post Share on other sites

trix2702 23 Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 Looks like a decent shell, I did the same with my mk3 when I fell out with my 5 door Link to post Share on other sites

PeteVRT 22 Posted April 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Ive just looked at this on my computer as opposed to phone and I would actually LOVE a VR in that awesome deep blue!!Cheers pal, yeah the pics on a phone don't do it justice, but will be different in that colour, correct me if I'm wrong but don't think they ever did a VR in that colour, like I said ages ago it's never going to be a replica, can't wait now to get it on the road Link to post Share on other sites
PeteVRT 22 Posted April 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Looks like a decent shell, I did the same with my mk3 when I fell out with my 5 door Yeah, the more I looked at the Vento yesterday as we jacked it up the more it's falling apart! Sad really but it's donating it's parts to a good home.My aim is to have it on the road for Tatton, so that gives me about 4 months. But I'm not going for all out show car so is realistic deadline I think. Link to post Share on other sites
sep 68 Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Yeah, the pics aren't the best so it's hard to tell. Wheels are filthy. I like dished wheels with the plastic arches but leaving the arches so think these will suit it, quite a clean look. Thought you were popping up todayGot caught up ripping decking up at the Mrs parents... The joy is I've to put it back Friday.... Link to post Share on other sites

PeteVRT 22 Posted April 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Well spent a few hours on it last night, started cleaning all the door shuts and boot shut and polishing the Golf. Really surprised, it really is coming up well and obviously well looked after, I will want to get the roof painted at some point as the lacquer is peeling, got a few better pics with the camera rather than the phone this time. Decided to stick with the black mouldings and no arches but can't decide on the rear lights. I like the look of clear and red lamps or do I stick with the standard? Not so keen on VR6 ones Link to post Share on other sites
Bealieboy 1,625 Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) What would hella magic blues look like rather than the norm? Some on the bay at the mo circa £100.

PeteVRT 22 Posted April 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 I think they look okSent from my iPhone using TapatalkYeah, I do like them. Might use the standard lamps until some come up. I'm not painting trims etc blue so it will break it up a bit, don't want to over do it Link to post Share on other sites
