bortaf 83 Posted April 9, 2014 Cool comic strip :thumbup: but needs some kepows and wammys :icecream: ( i liked batman as a kid ) :sofa: You rarely see banded steels of the older style on Mk5s, it's deffinatly differant :afro: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nostrilshorts 1 Posted April 9, 2014 I do like the thin white walls. I've seen them in a mk4 and they liked very nice. For me, a full white wall belongs in the 50s cars. Also wanna try the banded steel look as I personally like it and it's simple to change back to original. Just something a little different =) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beowulf 87 Posted April 9, 2014 (edited) Love the comic strip - don't like the wheels I am afraid, just look too old for the car :( Edited April 9, 2014 by Beowulf Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danish 294 Posted April 9, 2014 Will the banded steels stick out further than that? It looks like the half-shaft flange has moved further back in your later photos? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wreckers771 4 Posted April 10, 2014 There was an orange mk4 featured in classic ford or maybe retro ford that was lowered on banded steels-it looked ok. If ur not sure try getting your hands on a couple of ford puma 15' spare wheels. I had set on a mk5 and they looked good?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
