This car started off as a cheap runaround that i fell in love with, its a 6L 1.4 sport in black
the day i got her neglected by previous owner,filthy with faded paint and not many bulbs working,bad tyres
a few hours cleaning later
next up coilovers were bought and fitted
along with black side repeaters and HIDS and a valet
TVR wheels from a friend but were only 15" wchich were way too small,shame as they had some crazy poke with adapters!
next up were two new lower arms and bushes to refresh the front end with shortened droplinks to stop the ARB rubbing on the driveshafts
another valet shot
now for the marmite part... B*stardise it with Jap wheels....
after mucho messing around for fitment due to the wheels being a strange offset yet still 5x100 pcd, i settled for 25mm rear spacers and 20mm up front just for clearance.
hand made stud conversion by myself which hasnt given me any issues whatsoever,just a headache doing the math with x dimensions and the like.
Brothers <3
and then disaster,the girlfriend reverses into me... Bodyshop time for an all round refresh
fuming...
p.s heres a photo when the wheels were on a pals polo gti
let me know your opinions guys, im also thinking about chopping the wheels and spacers and fitting kit in for some TT comps, if anyone is interested give me a shout (not bothered what condition the comps are in as i can refurb but no cracks or buckles!)
