I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
best looking wheels i have seen on a three door i think but the back wheel looks like it sits to far forward in the arch for some reason might just be the angle the picture was taken at or something

Looks awesome! 
Them BMW wheels are alot cheaper than the Comp splits everyone loves too, and tbh, that looks better...
Just get some custom adaptors, or use Granada 5 stud hubs then get adaptors to 5x120 BMW fitment.

i looked into this recently theres a bloke selling loads of bbs splitrims on ebay bmw fitment he also sells hub adapters 4x108 to 5 x whatever cant remember off hand but google/ebay hub adapters theres loads not expensive either the only thing is they add 1" to your offset so working out rim widths is a bit technical lol

Nice looking three door, wheels look good although I don't know why people make such a big deal about re-drilling hubs to to a different PCD!? It's a fairly straight forward and easy thing to do in most cases, even if the hole patterns interfere with each other.

thank you, all credit goes to my bro who came up with the idea, he purchased the rims for his moonstone 3dr and was going to mod that but he ended up getting rid of it and passed the idea down to me knowing that they would suit a black 3dr more,he said he would do all the work that was needed.trust me it aint been easy alot of headache running back and forward but well worth it at the end

The 3dr looks absolutely beautiful and is one of the nicest looking ones I have seen 
. Depsite it being over a decade older than the TT, it has aged so much better than the VW . You should be REALLY proud of the car .
As an aside, to be fair to Lincoln, your brother was given every opportunity to resolve the issue and chose to leave rather than do so, so it is unfair to blame ANYONE else.....

Appreciated Mike
Its nowt to do with me and I find it funny that "prick" oh sorry "dick" opps I mean Vic keeps jumping on the band wagon and then to top it of he seems to think he knows about the wheels and gets that wrong too. ( not that they are anything out of the ordinary ), but poor mans bbs, wtf.
I will add I know my brothers nature and he aint that way inclined, asking somebody to prove something years on is riduculous.
Having spoken to Tabz about it, he left mutually due to the nature of thread having turned into blatent incitment to hatred and racism and having nothing to do with facts.
Should/could have been sorted between lincoln and himself, He never had a problem with any parts over the years and no complaints. Shame really but not the end of the world.
Water the under bridge now, hence would like to keep the thread on the appreciation and sharing of ideas on the car.
Ive asked Tabz to email me a write up with pics etc.
The main issue from I gather is the fact that he had fitted AP 330mm 4 pots to the front a 300mm kit to rear.
Also had custom hubs due to the mad offsets and brakes, no granada hubs to be seen and a riduculous amount of arch work which ultimatley led to a respray.
Thanks again

It clearly states a timeline in months not years. Not sure I see much hatred/racism and me not trying resolve the problem (many documented patient emails and 4am phone calls - as that was the only time he told me I could call). But you believe anything you need to reconcile your love for your brother. I know I would!
I made a statement in these threads that i will repeat;

The problem being that I was one chain removed that I was never able to chase/remind you.
That however is no crime.
Then when I initially contacted you about the missing parcels you were, since you seem a trusted/honest person, you felt that there was no way that you would rip me off and immediately thought that I was trying to rip you off. Therefore you never gave me the time of day.
Clearly you thought that I would remain a pf nobody and never hear from me again.
However the problem is that now you seem to be making a commitment running a organised business based around the love of cosworths (which is something that we all aspire too) and this has come back to bite you as I am also a honest person who feels that you have done me wrong.
The problem being that I thought that I gave you enough riggling space at the start to make ammends but clearly since you feel you are a honest/trustworthy person you thought that I was trying to scam you again. The problem being that some people on this forum (however I must thank them for keeping this active) have taken this problem so black and white. And since you felt you had done me no wrong you continued to try to argue with you superior intellect/baffle me with bullshit feeling that you must be right in the end.
Clearly this public problem is not good for either of us as I feel I have lost face and sadly will probably not use this forum much more now. No one here wants to read this shit all the time.
Just my thought Tabz.

Now I know Vic very well and would vouch for him being honest/friendly and very trustworthy. Anyone who has had bad dealings with him desearved it.

If I ripped you off the same amount of money, I'm sure you would not forget the fact?
You're the only contact he has now with Tabz, which may be a unfair on you, but bad-mouthing someone because of your brother's failings to sort the issues doesn't seem right?
At ANY point your brother could sort the situation and then I can assure you that it would NEVER be mentioned again, but running away and hiding from the situation surely doesn't seem right to you, even though he is your brother?
