I had a very nice chat with the previous owner of the R32 this afternoon, she gave me a bit of an insight as to what happened.
Her brother in law borrowed the car, him and his mates had been "hooning" in the car and they were reportedly doing 180km/h as they approached a 35km/h corner which of course they never made.
Pretty much went straight on and off the road only to be slowed somewhat by a row of trees, car rolled and the rest is history.

4 people in the car and all of them more or less walked away, they all had injuries of course but none life threatening.
She was so impressed how the car stood up that they purchased another MK4 R32, I always figured it was a high speed crash but wouldn't have guessed 180km/h  :o

And the result of that crash is this: Just a little bent, some bog and she'll be right!  :laugh:



There's not a straight panel anywhere, even the petrol flap is broken  :laugh:
The business end is fine though, hmmm R32 turbo- bring it on!  ;D

Haha didn't think of that.
She's going to look for the key and she also still has the owners handbook for it.

Do you know what genuine ones are worth?  :'(
Been looking for some in Japan and untill I find some for the right money these will have to suffice.
Can get you a set too if you want?

Oh yea, I know exactly how much genuine ones are, thats why I asked! Hmm, I'm tempted, but right now I have more pressing car issues than wheels, might have to wait a while on that. Cheers for the offer though.

Yep looked at a set of those too, mucho dollero's, most in japan are 5x114.3
Ultimate goal is for some proper BBS's but I'm very happy with these wheels atm, will probably re paint centres a darker silver.
