Are those original Caddy wheels?  Did you have them reconditioned and powder coated?

No, the wheels are brand new (from VW Germany) 14x6 Mk 2 Jetta steelies. I'm thinking that stainless trim rings will look nicer.

I don't know about chrome trims on this setup.  The only other chrome add on you have is the exhaust tip.  How about having the body shop take some of that blue and make two 1/8 inch lines around the outside rim?

New paint for my torquemonster







WOW.. While I would love to repaint  my MlK2 in the new Ford Mustang blue, you have a BEAUTIFUL color combo. Your combo is now my 2nd choice. AWESOME job.


Stay safe, stay well. Jimmy

Thanks man. I do love the color, though I got a lot of opposition here. There are a lot of purists that think a Rabbit should only be original colors.
I dissagree.

Is that an oem decal? The Rabbit looks very nice (actually they both do)!
