Not a fan then ? [emoji848]

Mk1R, some fantastic work going on with this project - looking forward to progress and seeing it complete [emoji41]

That is just gorgeous [emoji41]

That’s great, thank you. Yes, that’s my plan, to match them up. I’ve washed mine this morning and noticed the AO on the side wall [emoji1303]

That does look good [emoji41]. Although the one you posted further down the thread in green also looks good [emoji1303]

Welcome along [emoji41]. The car in the pic looks very very nice - deposit must’ve been put down then ?

What a minefield [emoji2957][emoji2957][emoji2957], thanks again for your help. Is there an easy way of knowing which has the rim protector and which doesn’t ? On my old car I’d always buy a tyre with rim protection as that had 19s too, I’ll have a look at the version without this time I think

It’s fine, I realised what you were trying to say [emoji1303]

That sounds like a bargain when you consider the many hours of work involved - I would’ve thought that would have been £1000 plus easily

Strange thing is the grip is still great in the dry, been on the web hunt for some new rubber yesterday evening - some bargains to be had I’ve noticed though, Contis around the £130 mark at the moment which I think is decent. Same tyre size on my old car and they were around the £160 mark at that point

That’s great, many thanks for your help Booth [emoji1303]

Whooooooooah, that looks absolutely outstanding [emoji41]. Top work

Can anyone confirm which version of the Conti 5P runs on the R ? Didn’t realise there were so many different versions of the same tyre [emoji2957]. Was very wet on my way in to work this morning and didn’t realise how low the tread on my fronts was getting until an aqua planing moment [emoji15]

Are you getting the DSG mapped too ? Keen to hear your thoughts when it’s done, next on the list for me hopefully is a remap

Hope you get sorted with finding somewhere a bit closer to you who can fit them [emoji1303]
