Great work Lexx, the boot reflector is so 80's it hurt love it ;D In other news.. I got my fourth Teledial! I am just hoping now its the right size or i'll be back to square one again Did they make many different widths? Think the 15" ones came in 6j or 7j. And 16" ones came in 7j or 8j?

15s came in 7j, but they had 2 different offset types for the normal ones like mine and the dished ones.
16s were in 7j and 8j i think yeah.

My 4th Teledial arrived.. annoyingly the wrong size! ![](http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/7738/ffsdscf0017kb3.jpg) Comparing my (beige) teledial with the new one... the new one has the dials sitting further into the wheel. (At first I thought it was the lower offset version) ![](http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/89/ffsdscf0020we6.jpg) Taking the tire bulge (curse word that thing is chunky) into account, I lined the front face of my other wheel up as accurately as I could to compare widths.. ![](http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/3118/ffsdscf0021ak9.jpg) Note that the left hand side (rear) of my wheel is much further back.. so i've concluded the wheel I have is the 6J version. ![](http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/665/ffsdscf0022xs0.jpg) I wouldn't have bidded if I knew the size or if he had other pictures showing that the offset was obviously different This was the only picture of it: ![](http://i1.ebayimg.com/08/i/001/32/a5/a9ca_1.JPG) Its just a shame, as I didn't wanna risk losing what could be the right size wheel, but also didn't want to bid because i had no idea on the size. Seller just replied and said I can send it back... but frankly I don't wanna mess about with a courier. So if someone wants it, its for sale for 30 quid if you come and pick it up from my house in Dover, Kent! Oh and apart from guessing the width.. all i know is that its a 15... The tire is 195/65/R15

Thats a shame... It should be stamped the back of the rim for definite bud.

After the drastic let down my wheels, I figured I'd fit my new yellow headlight bulb covers ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) (Thanks Schakal ;D) Heres some pics: ![](http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/8214/kldscf0007yp0.jpg) ![](http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/6262/kldscf0008mf9.jpg) ![](http://img22.imageshack.us/img22/6273/kldscf0009lb5.jpg) ![](http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/8295/kldscf0010jl2.jpg) Oh and got my rubber grommit sorted out for my rear wiper hole... ![](http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/9956/kldscf0015oi6.jpg) Thats another 2 jobs off the list ;D

Massive shame about the wheels feller! There are loads of Porsche breakers around, have you rung round a few? Still lovin this car! don't let the bad times get you down, have you seen what a massive shed my Golf is? 1 thing after another, but when its running, and the suns out, and the road is empty, its bloody worth it! lol
