Tyrer's LCR : 225 : Stage 1 :

[tyrer]

Very nice chris.

They look smaller than I thought they would, maybe its the pictures. Look forward to seeing it in real life.

Nice work kiddo.

Yeah mate the inside edge is thick, if this was black then I reckon they would look bigger its just the thickness of that edge.

Will be at the next SCN meet for mooching

Car looks awesome mate.

tar dude

Sweet as a nut mate.

cheers man, noticed you had twist's on your ibiza

Looks really good, but if it were mine i'd go abit lower. How does it handle with these on?

yeah need another 10mm I reckon but sits well for everyday use this height, no splitter catching and minimum undertray noise.

No difference in how it handles really, I have been cautious to start with as it's on the adaptors but feels the same as before. Only 8j all round so not a massive jump from the OEM 7.5j

Pixlromatic I love this app and it's free!!

 

[Deleted member 12147]

Yeah you don't wanna be catching that splitter with all the effort you've put into it. I need a new one already, only had this one on for about 4 months and it's trashed and i wanna go even lower

 

[tyrer]

Well I ripped it off pre lowering due to the incline on my drive, was fine as the carbon fibre did it's job and didn't even crack! But I do sit and worry if I was lower I think it may be a standard jobbie

 

[EL]

Lower it to the point where the car looks good without it. That's what iv done for now anyway!

 

[S.E.C.T.]

Think we are overdue an update.....!

All quiet on the LCR front really, back at work and wedding planning.

Right now cosmetically I'm happy bar a front/rear bumper respray and other than stage 2 nothing is jumping at me to do.

Been looking at B5 S4's if I'm honest

 

[J@mes W]

That looks sooo nice, you must be chuffed to bits. They suit the car so well they have a OEM look about them.

Yeah mate really happy with how it looks and sits right now.

Well after a good life this was always going to happen eventually

Enjoyed skinning it, enjoyed the look of it but all good things come to an end eventually.

New one needs ordering this week and gonna leave it standard.

Whoops that's not great mate

 

[Lewis_B]

Those wheels really look great on any car. Nice!

 

[tyrer]

Whoops that's not great mate

Nope but as it was homemade I'm not too fussed, if I had paid out then that would of been another matter

Those wheels really look great on any car. Nice!

Cheers dude

 

[D.K]

What happend to the splitter ? Did the carbon peel off ?

 

[RDS]

Sorry to hear about the splitter mate are you going to make another?

 

[tyrer]

DK - the splitter was caught a few weeks back on my entrance to the drive and the crack on the OEM splitter must of pulled away from the carbon and the 'bond' was broken.

Then today I just dropped my mate off and noticed It had come away from the plastic where the original crack was.

So I ripped it all off as I'll need a new splitter.

RDS - not sure mate if I'm honest. Loved it when it was on but now it's off I'm not to fussed it's £100 (new splitter and materials) I could put to engine/brakes so may leave it be really... I'm sure I won't though haha

 

[t0m]

I hope you can hunt a splitter down at last year's price somewhere and not the £40+ they want for them now!

 

[tyrer]

I'll be running a nice cracked one for a while until I pay a 'good' price.

May end up having to fibre glass/smooth/paint mine if it's silly money for a new one

 

[t0m]

I'm sure they are £40+ now most places mate but you could probably hunt them down on the net somewhere at around £25 delivered.

If you do find that, then let me know as I'll order a spare! Lol.
