    I'd actually love that Carina. Bag it for about €350 and you're good to go for 6 months at least.

    Yea I was hoping mine would have come straight from Oldbury but there now showing up as inbound at Edinburgh.

    If I have all four of mine by the weekend I'll be happy enough. No idea why the front tyres are so far behind.

    Realistically I'd say Thurs/Fri is when I'll have them! Would hate to have to wait another weekend. Having these wheels sitting in my house is annoying me!

    At least it's not the other way around. The smell of rubber is sickening!

    Even with all my love for big engined 70's 'murican cars, I will always love that model carina.

    Considering buying that one...

    It's the same color as (half of) mine is, so I could have two of the same.

    I paid €750 for mine, although it is the very exclusive 2.0 non turbo diesel with 424,000 miles don't you know.

    That Carina, being a gli, will have 4x electric windows, electric sunroof and suede effect seat fabric as opposed to cloth in the standard car.

    Bit of a stupid question here, but is it unusual to have to balance brand new wheels? Got a quote for 60 quid from the crowd I go to all the time out in ballymount, to fit and balance.

    yeah, sure its down to the tyres as well as the rims

    my stupid question: Will i pass the nct if the boot button doesnt work but the boot does open using the button on the key ?

    It's more you're balancing to offset the imbalance in the tyres rather than the wheels. But yeah, completely normal :P

    I collected my new centre cap. So back to one on each wheel now :) got it in vw main dealer in the end as the ones online were not that much cheaper and many had bad reviews of not fitting correctly and peeling discolouring after a few months. Tenner in the end which I though was reasonable enough.
