ozzimark Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Shredded more rubber bands on what I wouldnt even consider a pothole.What will give better rim protection: 225/35 or 215/40?? Im gonna need to roll some fenderrrs.Pretty straight forward imo..225 * 0.35 = 78.75mm215 * 0.4 = 86mmAn extra 8mm on the 215/40's Tire pressure matters more.

jnderr Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Leveled touch up paint on a few paint chips that had been poorly touched up by the previous owner on the T5. Turned out pretty good for first attempt at paint chip repair. Washed it, tested out the new to me buffer only two discover the switch needs replaced. Results were pretty nice though. Looked longingly at the R bumper sitting in the garage, wishing it was the right color... oh but it will be Shredded more rubber bands on what I wouldnt even consider a pothole.

matt b Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Very nice Matt! Thanks, shame I missed the bodyshop's call on Thursday the car would have looked completely different at Carlisle. Adam: I did not listen to a vmail telling me it was ready after paint and I left before knowing it was ready. Oh well, the front end of the car will look slightly different next year anyway, as will the rear of the car and some of the interior stuff.
