Bought the car back in July 06 for a largeish sum of money from Roo, after i wrote my rover off into a tree...
Bought the car looking like this:

With winters over (or its ment to be soon) so i finally pulled my finger out and I'm getting my new wheels sorted.
Bought these at E38 last year for the massive sum of £40. Woo!!
Since then i've stripped them, and sorted the chips in the rim out, see below:

Bought two hub adapters as i wasnt sure they would fit the G, so best not waste £250 on them, they turned up yesterday so today i trial fitted them, and they fit Woo!!!! (just)

hello! Nice G.
-
hello - this used to be Roo's didnt it?
-
He does say that in the post Pete! Welcome buy the way, nice car that.
-
oh yeah - doh, i just looked at the pics!
-
Thanks for the welcome guys!!
An yeah it did, i've spent a fair amount on it since then tho, as the car looked spot on, but had a fair few problems under the skin :/
-
I have to say, I didn't notice that he'd said it used to be Roo's either but I did recognise the car. Can't think of any others that colour with those headlight washers.
-
Yup, everyone knows it as Roo's old car :(
Maybe one day it may change lol
-

If it's Roo's old car (sorry to keep referring to it as that) then it's a minter. Before Roo owned it, this was in PVW in the Polo G40 buyers guide. I can't remember the name of the owner at the time.

Nice G :D
