well the tires are garbage they were drift slicks i think the guy i got them from put them on a 240sx and the color is copper like a Pennie so i don't know what sewer you have been hanging in but id start scraping the copper off the man whole make some money lol also just wanted a unique color since Ive seen to many flat black saw blades running around

I can't see that color looking good on anything, including a brown body. I did plasti-dip, as you can see in my signature.

Copper looks good on most color Mk3's, but it couldn't hurt to tape off the tires next time unless you're going to be changing them out anyway.

So much hate in this thread...not to mention OP never asked for opinions on his color choice. Anyhow here's my car back in its sawblades days :p

Personally I think sawblades look best when polished (not implying they look good when polished).

IMO, the best look for sawblades. Accentuate the angles and match the polished metal wit super rare metal capped centercaps.

Here's another vote for anti-paint! I used "Aircraft Remover", which is sold at auto paint stores in aerosol cans to strip them. It's about $10 a can, and I believe I used either 3 or 4 cans total. Spray it on, let it sit, rinse it off. I think I hit 2 or 3 tough spots lightly with a brillo pad. Once stripped, I used spray can clear on them. Sorry for picture quality, it's the only picture I have of them, and I no longer own that car.
