You would have to be mental to pay £495 for some second hand wheels, I thought £210 was a fair price for them, glad your happy with them anyway mate ;)

I think it's the rarity that makes them worth more,m i'd say about £150 for yours with yres, i thought my vRS's were good for £160 but they're the 16" ones :(

Got a few nice bits to put on now eh! Should transform the car!

On the subject of wheels I'd say £210 without tyres is about right, after all the tyres for them are going to be the best part of £90 a corner if you're going for decent new rubber...

Don't I look a cheap skate now with my £62 Sport alloys (with tyres!) :lol:

deffo got a few things to keep me going buddy! lol

I want to do a DIY refurb on the alloys before any rubber goes onto them... not sure on the colour I want though.. but deffo not black. I''m thinking gunmetal grey, White, Standard silver or Anthracite... hmmmm

You can always buy my alloys off me ;)

Might be worth pointing out the ebay light is the darker red one that comes on facelift cars :(

I would have done it if it was my shade

Yea it is for the facelift lights.. Mine is so I was lucky enuff.. would be worth checking if they can get a pre-facelift light too?

Was told yesterday that I need 2 new tyres :( so I was fast tracked to get my cupra wheels rubbered up today, picking them up later on. - didn't get to do a refurb on them, but I will do it during the summer i guess.. got most of the stuff to do it now.. just have to decide on a colour! :p

Good work with the car, the cupra wheels makes it look much better. Now all it needs is fr/cupra rear bumper and lowered and it will look brilliant.

Looking mighty fine my friend :)

I just spent 3 hours cleaning two alloys !

The HID's are fairly simple but i'd get an internet guide if the instruction booklet is anything luike mine! They didn't even mention that i had to earth them to the car!
