He might be thinking about the standard suspension and brakes on a 1.2! Tend to be softer and smaller than higher performance models. Maybe a chance to upgrade those as well! ;)
 
was kinda hoping to just go cosmetics route..lol.il wait till i get my 2L turbo type car before i start working on d performance parts.... :p

was kinda hopin the 17s or 18s would make it look well without lowerin...:(
so i should stick with moving up to 16s????

:doh:maybe i should run down shop and get euromillions lotto ticket:D

do u think these tyre sizes will fit my mk 4 ibiza 195/65/15?

cheers
 
lol I bought some TSR Sugo Alloys with yokohama tyes but my crrent tyre size is 195/55/15 inch but the ones av bought are 195/65/15 inches, I just wanted to know whether they will fit, i hope they do :

Depends of offsets mate, 65 is a BIG sidewall though and imo will look silly!
 
Early model Leon Cupra (starfish) alloys fit (I do like these on Mk4 :))

Nope nope nope... ET 42 is too far inside. Got ET35 on 8" and there are only few mm from the shock absorber .. Well, u can try but.. Doubt they fit.
 
so do you have to upgrade breaks and suspension on 1.2 before can put 17s on?
