not really, never had plans to do this to it, was intentionally just a sensible daily driver, my real toy is my 86 3door sierra cosworth, summers on its way so i,ll blow the cobwebs off that soon.

yes 10j is a tight fit, got a fair bit of rim poking out hence the wheel arch extensions, the fronts on coilovers and the rear has lowered springs with adjusters , dropt to the max, have had to put spring assistors on the rear ( caravan mod) lol..... to aid with rub ,not on the arch but the wing liner in side the arch.
when you change your wheels if you want to sell them give daboy3000 a pm ( look back a few pages you'll find him) i know his been looking for 5x100 porsche wheels, thanks for the comment's, feel free to post one up of yours on porkers every one else has, lol....

am liking that, is that a black roof i spy? was going to go that route but changed my mind! also wanted bentley rims but ain't got that kinda cash . I've used spring assistors to help prevent the springs bottoming out to prevent rub, as well as stretch on the tyres.

lool yh it is a black roof along with the mirrors andmeshes! i still cant believe hw you gt 10j wheels to fit wih spacers! how thick are your spacers as im going to get some for the bentleys, i want them wide as possible for a nicee stance!

fronts are 8.5j wide with offset of 25 and a 25mm spacer & rears are 10j wide offset of 52 with a 20mm spacer. fronts sit spot on rears have about 1" of rim poke but with 255/40/18 tyres stretched the tread sits just in clearing the arch. get the odd rub on the wing liner tho.

Do you drive through green st green around quarter to 6? i think i saw your car today, i was a few cars behind you at the roundabout at the end of shire lane, and i think i saw you the other day aswell. I was in a corsa, not driving my cupra yet. I work in the garage up in farnborough village.
Your car is stunning btw!

petrol 180hp in extreme blue. completely standard atm. What suspension is your car running? is it on coilovers, looks like the perfect height!
