	That reminds me.  I keep reading about the G60 Golf flares these people
are using to shoehorn 17" rims into their mk1 and mk2 Golfs.  Are the
Roc and Golf body styles similar enuff that we can use these flares
too?  BTW, what does DTM stand for?  (ex. DTM mirrors, DTM single wiper
assembly, DTM Scorpio exhaust)  I see it in all the UK VW mags, but I'm
not sure if it's a company or a style that is being described.  Anyone
know?
