Guest s6boy1979 Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Getting the tyre off took an evening on it own lol. A evening too rub down and apply filler, let that dry and the next eveing rubbing that down. A day painting in primer and a day doing the black. So about 4 days in total Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest s6boy1979 Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Yeah staight fit and a bargin, as the gear knob is from a puma it screws straight on unlike aftermart ones which have grub screws. The gaiter is for the mk4 and cost me £3 and the gear knob was £12 off ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
