Were colour co-ordinated steel wheels the originals, like these?



Your alloys look very familiar though. Were they the orginal alloys on the W123 maybe?

I believe the really bling thing to do these days is to leave the car as it was originally. I am amazed at the reaction I get to my latest buy - the Golf Gti - people just can't believe unmodified examples still exist and it really stands out among the oh so similar modified Golf Gti's.

Oops - I see I have not posted a pic of it with the rest of my cars - well when this thread started it was still only in the day dreaming phase. Just goes to show a month is a short time in the world of classic cars.

My Foci.

Some times I love it, sometimes I hate it.

Mostly I'm just bored with it.:v:

Lovely oval Justin. I reckon t'would look nicer with solid or five-spoke retro cragars, but then that's just a matter of personal taste.

To the GTi owner, thats what pisses me off about looking for "performance" versions of hatchbacks. There are so few sold in this country, finding one without tacky mods, that hasn't been crashed or in good nick is quite hard.

Fair play to ya.

Moderators - I think we need another motoring forum category "Unmodified cars" - is a growing trend you know!
