Lovely views, and thats just the motor! I must admit, i do prefer silver scoobs with silver wheels, not overly fond of gold on them. Still personal pref i suppose.

No side skirts? I thought they were standard on all, shows how much i know


ps - maybe if i could type i wouldn't have to edit all the bl**dy time!

Hi J Bee, correct a'mundo , devils dyke it is, and a very nice place too.

Cheers tiktok, but oh dear, I'm about to get gold 17's!

No side skirts? , look again my friend!, there black at mo' but will soon be silver.

Edited to thank SidHEaD for clarifying the side skirts situation

oh yeah. ooops. just testing ya.
Acutally looking again, those wheels are the smae as mine, except mine are gold, well, most of them are gold, the rest are kinda brake dust colour and curb chips.
Which is a shame, cos they were spotlest when i bought it. got annoyed with washing it so much i left it was months and months over winter and the front wheels are now pitted badly

17's? Mmmm, nice. what profile tye will you need for these? I've got 215x40x16, could i just fit 17's on? I've seen a local scoob with large wheels but he had adjustable suspension (or so he said), his were like 235 or something, made mine look like bike tyres, not sure how low his profile was though.

lol, I know what you mean tiktok, my front wheels look anthracite most of the time!

But it will be a different story when I get my 17's, oh yes, I'm gonna wash them and wax them and keep them nice and shiny (that's the plan anyway )

I've got a brand new set of 215/40/17 Goodyear Eagle F1's ready to go on, these are pretty damn close to the rolling radius of the old 205/50/16's. You should have no problem putting 17's on yours (classic shape with standard suspension?) but make sure they are within the correct offset range for the scoob, mine are ET50.
