Look good mate :D

People keep saying I love these wheels blah blah blah, nice to see you havn't got a red car with grey wheels :)

Look good in silver though, need centre caps...
 
You have 205/50/17 tyres??

I have close calls with speed bumps, try lowering it 80mm lol :)


Aye, that would be a certain clench moment! I reckon il get them refurbed and sprayed black soon. Maybe even try a polished section on the front face.
 
Yours look smaller than Ad Lav's....are yours Fabia wheels? I might be joining the crew soon as can get my hands on some dirt cheap Octy VRS wheels with tyres. :D :D :D
 
I was gonna polish the face of mine, but thought it was too much hard work with the grinder n cutting paste lol.

Looks good though mate. I got a bargan set of centre caps for 5 quid off ebay, might be worth a look. Do they rub with the 50 profile tyres?
 
Aye theyre 50 profile tyres, but dont rub. It's only lowered 30 mil tho, the road up to the house is a 4x4 job and i didnt fancy a cracked sump! Only thing is i now want them in black.
 
we're all doing it ad - i just need to be able to afford toothpaste/food for a night after buying coilovers today, then a complete set of 205/40/17s, then some spacers and i'll be set for my crimbo blitz :D
 
Just 30mm lowered on springs. Could'nt justify the price for coilovers as i only need it for a while till i get no claims. Then its a Cupra!:)

The arch lining may need slight modification with a pair of snips soon.....
 
looks good! needs lower profile tyres and centre caps.
whats with the animal sticker :confused:
the 30mm lower looks suprisingly good got a nice stance

i swear ive seen these wheels somewhere else??
 
they eibachs? been considering lowering myself recently but would find it hard to fork out for coilovers. if i could get it to sit nice on springs then thatl be the definite choice.

But you'd need to change your shockers aswell so it'd cost as much as a set of coilies anyway....
