NigeType3 - December 31st, 2004 at 11:02 AM

Hi all Imm getting some new STD rims for my Type 3 sqareback and am tempted to put atlus white walls on it as I love the old look. But beeing a 70's model do ya think this would look kind of stupid just after your opinions. Anyone with picks please post as i would like to see them.

Cheers Nige:bounce

Try looking on type 3 selecta, at least that will give you a picture of it.

press the print screen button when u have made your car in selecta (in the block above your cursor keys) this will create an image of whats on the screen at that time. then go into paint or whatever proggy u use and go to the edit menu and select paste. (or press ctrl + v) and then crop it so its just the image u want.

Thanks Nick,

So what do you all think.
The red will probably be just redoxide (rat style) and the rims red gloss I may even paint the bonet white.
