Mk 2 on Borbet A's?

[Electro Ted]

Has anyone fitted Borbet A's to a MK2?

I really like the design and the dish. I'm quite tempted but would like to see a MK2 with them fitted if poss.

Another one moving over to the dark side

Have seen one somewhere Ted but can't remember where
Ill post it up if i remember.

Borbet A's- the best looking wheel design ever... FACT

Gorgeous wheels. I seriously contemplated a set when I bought my new wheels, but concluded the Mk2 Ibiza doesn't suit Euro style (I have since been proven wrong!)

I'd be interested to see how they look.

there 's a couple ( or were) Ted,.. lad on here had a copper one one 'A's im sure , before he killed it, someone is now in the process of rebuiling it .. and theres a black (?) one... Minxy I think (not Minxy Cov) ..

Brummy: it was james that had the mk2 and front ended it into another car, he was the one with the full cream leather interior.

and this is the Black gti your on about, looks good imo:

 

[Electro Ted]

That looks great.. however I'm not too sure how well that will work with my Copper GTi..

 

[Roelích]

That looks sex!

Gorgeous...

Thats the pic i had seen. Looks MINT!! Not sure about them on a copper beeza though, maybe someone could do a PS?

 

[jaketalbot]

yeah thats minx's gti with the borbet a's, ill be getting some for mine some time this year (if funds allow!) they look quality on the mk2's. james mk2 (the copper cupra) has been bought by fenix, he's on the forum, he's doing it up and will be getting the borbet a's as well. he lives 15 mins from me so there'll be two euro'd mk2's in colchester!!!! ...... there well expensive though!

 

[Roelích]

They're not too bad (not exactly Schmidt TH Line money ). Dubmeister are as cheap as anywhere, 130 each I think... not including rubber...

Euro style rims always are pricey.

 

[Mckellar]

TBH thats what you would pay for a set of rubbish 17" TSW's/Wolfrace alloys though, so its not obscene, but it does look TIDY!

My plans were going to be a set of ronal turbo's but i didnt think they would look spot on.

 

[Fenix]

I have James' old car and have photos of it on Borbet A's somewhere. I'll be putting them on it again when I have some spare cash. And it was a grey leather interior

 

[MinxGTi]

Thought i'd add to the post as my car popped up lol!

I love the wheels when i got them put on, but as they were highly polished they were a nightmare to clean.

Just sold the car aswell as i got so fed up with cleaning the rims lol!

I was going to paint the centres black like this, think that would look better on a copper beeza! (maybe?)

 

[Boi Ninja]

they look really nice, wish i saw them before i got rims. if u was to get them would they be wider on the back too? and streched tyres? oooow weee!

 

[Czechboy]

Just sold the car aswell

Just out of interest, what car did you get instead of the Ibiza??

 

[Tom B]

james_mk had mirror polished Borbet A's on his Copper Ibiza, it looked amazing!

 

[surcalation]

Compomotive > Borbet

The End

Well tbh im a little to say lol! As it a Proton!
I just wanted something a little newer, less mileage as i do quite alot, i dont want to modify any more so was going to get something that still looked a little sporty. Was looking around for either a 206 GTi or 106 GTi but there all out of my price range with the decent mileage.

So i got this! For under 3K!

Lotus developed handling... Not an Ibiza on Borbet A's though

Old Mitsubishi Colt with Proton badges on it. Should be rather reliable
