How times change...

[Georgel]

Yep, but as I have the 05 Fr 16in alloys its not so bad. The wheels would probably look a bit lost in the arches with the bigger rear bumper.

Spill the info on the front Face lift FR bumper!

Fog lights are £100 each so havn't bought them yet!

Don't worry about wheels yet, get some rear spacers though

 

[Georgel]

I'm going to leave the car standard tbh, apart from the remap.

The only reason I want to change the bumper is because the standard one is cracked, so I thought I might as well upgrade when I replace.

Do the rear spacers actually do that much? Where do you get them from?

And thanks for the info, excellent work!

 

[Georgel]

So including fogs £387.17

 

[Ad Lav]

Then painting... so £530 ouch... I might not bother with fogs!

You could always buy my original bumper and I can get it painted black?

 

[Ad Lav]

Oh, rear spacers work a treat!

Mine were from FK - 20mm hubcentric spacers.

Badger5 does some on this sight I think!

 

[rashcupra]

spacer make the car look so much better and make the handling dramaticly better imo done much more diffrence than the jabba rear arb!

 

[Ad Lav]

Yup, agree with that, the rear ARB keeps the car flat and level and stiffens it up alot too

 

[Ad Lav]

Check these out...

Love the rolling pic. Just shows how good the spacers are on the rear.

But the car park shot is minted. Really mean looking. Nice one mate.

 

[Ad Lav]

I owe tom for these

What a wizard!

The rear spacers really show up in the rolling shot!

I havn't got my baby atm, she's in the bodyshop having rear bumper/boot lid resprayed.

 

[Deleted member 13581]

Just think about it coming back all right and shiny.

They are really good pictures.

It picks up on the colour of the wing mirrors in the 2nd picture even though its dark.

 

[Ad Lav]

I do have some more to share but will do those tomorrow, i'm knackered tonight!

P.S wheels ready soon!

 

[Georgel]

I can't believe how lush that looks! I thought the FR bumper would look girly against the Cupra one, but not at all. I'm getting some new rear tyres soon so i'll fit the spacers at the same time.

 

[Ad Lav]

Cheers

Good man, spacers are well worth the £££

Few more pics...

 

[Ad Lav]

That last pic with my spacers makes me want wider wheels at the back!

Dammit!

BBS here I come...

 

[rashcupra]

THEY DO LOOK LIKE BICYCLE TYRES DONT THEY THE 40'S

get the wider wheels then you wont need the spacers either

 

[Ad Lav]

That's my thinking... seen some porsche wheels which are 8.5'' on the back or do I go BBS CH in 17 x 7.5?? Tempting...

 

[evo2345]

where did you get the spacers from ad lav??? did you need to use longer bolts

 

[Ad Lav]

FK, they are hubscentric and bolt to the hub then the wheel to the spacer!
