Hi Vardo
check with your nearest vw dealer or local scrappy because the mk4 golf/bora use bolt with a rounded sholder i know this due to useing my standard bolts on my rims

as u can see from this pic the bolt is from my bora and the rounded nut is from the H&R hub adaptors i had to buy so the rear wheels sat under the arches

FOOK you are busy, I woud love to do a 'project' - wife won't let me though

Man shes lookin well smart lookin forward to seein the westy on where did you get the new handels from bud? - Andy im sure you could sweet talk her i managed too last time not sure it will happen again though

hi mup,cheerz for that knowledge,i did wonder if vw nuts would fit,i didnt know if the shoulder was big enough.

cheerz andy and reaver ,ive got far too many projects on the go at the mo!!!i just want the jetta finished this year!!

reaver i got the handles at edition 38 from one of the stalls £45 a bargain

£45 thats cheap mate seriously wish id gotten to edition 38 some proper bargains to be had.

is tha jetta pictured what your stripping and scrapping?

if so i need the rear bumper iron for the rear big bumpr (or the bumper itself if you dont need it) and i need a front windscren if its tinted

rear bumper is fecked steve,ive got a jade green one out the back burried deep ill try and dig it out and check the condition,do you mean top tinted screen if so thats a negative mate,eurowindscreens does a top tint screen in blue or green fitted for £75(very reasonable i thought)

bought some new winter wheels from e bay,will pick them up later in the week,ive got some stretch tyres in the garage for these...
porsche wheels will need to wait till springtime now!!

the flat cap borbets look ace. i've got the other ones.

your rado looks quite smooth. I LIKE IT!

cheerz manzi,i really love my rado,but i think its finished now,a couple more mods only...

a busy wee evening!!

Very nice looking car mate, I doubt mine will ever look that good

I do like ATS cups (used to have some on my rocco) it does seem like a bit of a saga with the D90's though.

I bow down to thee Vardo looks awesome with the cups buddy and westy although ive not seen many on jettas looks awesome too especially with the color

reaver cheerz for the comments,im really concentrating hard on getting this done,i drove 200 miles to pick up the ats cups,i put some 175's on the wheels,nice little stretch!
the westmoreland front has caused me some probs,coz its off a left hand drive
the bonnet catch was back to front,i drilled it out and tried to turn it(but its completely different).
so i had to take it off again ,i will need to drill out a rhd one and rivet it in place.
also the headlamps are sealed halogen units,so if one goes im up s@*t creek cos ive done a search on google and i cant find anywhere that supplys the lights...and there is no sidelights on these, but im gonna just put the sidelights in the indicators.

cheerz skattrd,yes these bloody d 90s are a real pain.i started to sand them,then got bored so a friend took them to work and continued for me,he got all the faces looking nice and shiny,we decided that we would paint in between the spokes anthracite as it was to hard to buff up the awkward spaces...months passed with nothing.
now the wheels are at a polishin shop,well 3 off them as my mate has misplaced one,he gaurantees me he knows where it is!!???
so when i get them i dont want to run them over the winter ...hence the new ats cups(these wheels really need a refurb also..but that can wait till next year)

ive got a light brown interior out of my gxtd,ive had all the seats shampooed,before i fit it in,also got a centre armrest to fit.

where on earth did u manage to find that westmoreland set up?! ebay?
been looking for one of them for ages!

i searched through many american forums,til i found a guy that was willing to send one to the uk(expect to pay a lot,cost of front,cost of shipping and then the vat when it arrives in the uk)

right ive sorted the front today,and its back on

this is the bonnet catch that caused the prob..

whoaa, that looks the shizzle!!!

sorry but i prefer the other wheels. to me the borbets don't give enough retro vibe to your jetta.

looking sweet ive allways liked ats cups, but the car look top notch with the borbets

i totally agree manzi,i was under pressure from me mates to get them on,they loved them,but i dont think they go.
they are for the rado and the rado only!!
anyway ive got the d90s to go on(whenever they are here,ahem)
