Post by: Dave J on April 29, 2014, 11:00:56 pm: Fantastic car you have there. As you say, the 19's would make it, but still :drool:

Title: Re: Looks like im back in a golf !
Post by: Bernhard30 on April 30, 2014, 08:28:56 am: Is that 'Pure' or 'Oryx' mate? From the pics I'd guess it's Pure but was wondering.
Or the new 'Candy' as my dealer calls it.

Car looks fab. I quite like the 18" wheel design myself..but then tyre 19" option looks the biz.

Post by: Horatio on April 30, 2014, 08:39:58 am: Looks rather snazzy in white. I saw a blue one in London burning Round Victoria, I don't think pics do it justice TBH...really nice looking AND sounding car :congrats:

Post by: 182_blue on May 16, 2014, 10:32:17 pm: Got myself a cracking set of unused prets for it today, anyhow i now need to decide if I am painting them a tad darker.

Here they are lent against the car

they dont even appear to have been on a car, they certainly haven't been driven on looking at them.

They are super light ?, very impressed TBH, they seem lighter than my wifes 17" wheels that she had on her last polo ?!.

Post by: Tamiyoman on May 19, 2014, 10:44:01 am: I prefer the look of the Cadiz on White and Black R's, and Prets on any other colour but think I am in the minority on that one :grin:, Big wheels have never been my thing tbh :happy2:
Title: Re: Looks like im back in a golf !
Post by: 182_blue on May 19, 2014, 06:35:22 pm: I didn't necessarily want the bigger size I just wanted the pretoria design.
Title: Re: Looks like im back in a golf !
Post by: WolverineMAc on May 19, 2014, 07:48:14 pm: Does anyone know if there is a specific dealer doing great deals on these!
Title: Re: Looks like im back in a golf !
Post by: Leonard on June 07, 2014, 11:46:11 am: Nice Car!

I couldnt resist the latest lease deals on these so just ordered one for September delivery.

Never done a lease before but seemed to make financial sense. Wanted the 19 inch wheels but didnt make sense to pay for them on a lease deal so will probably get something aftermarket and then sell on when the car goes back in 2 years.

I dont suppose you know how much the Pretorias weigh do you? Had a look online and cant see any info.

Slightly darker would look good, but they do look good now! Any other plans, tempted to tune it?

Matt
