What did you and your MK2 do today?

[Jhunter_83]

Finally redone plastidip the front bumper after it blistered on my first go.

This time it looks a lot better, I also fitted my new black wing mirror covers and the cupra grille I have had lying around for a while now.

Ordering some eibach sportlines tomorrow and will be lowered by Friday.

Starting to look like how I want it, wheels to be refurbished gloss black and then map it.

Gave the FR to the other half as her A3's aux belt finally packed in after me repeatedly telling her to get it done. Gave her a list of do's an don'ts when using it lol.

 

[Rob_Talisman]

(like shi7)
+1. And if you fit 35 profile tyres you'll never wear em out coz the potholes will munch the sidewalls........ Go for 18's you won't regret it.

I use a set of 18's in winter and a set of 19's in summer and yes the ride is slightly worse with the 19's but id still pick them every day of the week and as soon as I take them off everyone tells me I shouldnt have!

With the 19's on the car looks lower and as the have a lower et and lower profile tyres it DEFINATELY corners btter with less roll.

where I live the roads are unbelievable and I cover a lot more miles than probably anyone else pn here and have never damaged a tyre on them.

You only get one real chance (if ur skint like me) to get the right set of wheels and for me the top priority was thw overall look with bigger wheels give.

hope this helps a bit

Yeah, its on eibach sportlines with a triple r spliier on the front too. It never rubs or anything like that if thats what ur worried about

 

[Rob_Talisman]

Yup. Got my triple r on and was doing the springs today but that went to shite. Did you stagger your alloys n put 8.5 on front n 9.5 on back?

19's

 

[Robban]

19" !

I put my 19" Cupra R wheels today.
Have 17" on my winter tires (BBS) and it's such a difference in the look.
19 is much more aggressive and the ride and handle is in my opinion just great.
Keep in mind to buy premium tires and not some cheap sh*t.

 

[graememgparker]

Here's a pic of mine, they fill the arches nicely I think, but never ever rub ..... so when you get heavy footed all is still ok

 

[AndyG_TSi]

Opinions......either

A. Have original 17" Tsi Sport alloys resprayed anthracite & have wing mirror caps and chrome front grille sprayed anthracite to match

Or

B. Get some black TTRS alloys and keep the black mirrors/black wrapped grille


What would you do?

TTRS everyday ! Love them!!

 

[AndyG_TSi]

Ive been toying with option A as no one else has gone anthracite on the originals as far as I know.

Red/Anthracite instead of Red/black to be different. But I do like the TTRS Alloys

 

[Rob_Talisman]

Im redoing my originals in anthracite as winter wheels

 

[bigbadjay]

Keep as is but get it lowered.

Or tt rs

Iv looked at 3 sets of 18s this week but that tyre profile still doesnt make them look much bigger IMO.

17s have many benefits.... Mainly economical benefits.... Lol
