penry Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 MOMO, mmmmmmmmm nice style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> I love white wheels on red cars (Jen's), and black / anthracite wheels on a silver car (can't think of anyone off the top of my head, pretty shocking actually)Slam it and we've got another style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wub:" border="0" alt="wub.gif" /> from me. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 Wheels make a huge difference but you need to lower it just a tad IMO.Not slammed to the ground or anything but enough to fill the arches better. What size of wheels are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunalupi Posted April 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 They're 15s, and yes are a huge improvement on the black steels style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> I've kinda spent my entire years budget for mods in a few months though, so havnt got enough for lowering right now style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blush:" border="0" alt="blush.gif" /> He's staying like that for a while until I can earn more money (BTW those pics were taken just after jacking, so he's settled down a touch lower now after being driven)Like i said earlier, I'd probably only lower him by 30-40mm, it doesn't need much to put the wheels nicely in the arches (in fact a few friends and some shopping did the job quite well style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 I'm the same, I want to lower it but all the streets around my flat are either covered in speed bumps or old cobbled roads so the lowering when/if it happens will only be about 20mm. Just enough to make a difference I hope.Given up on your black diesel then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunalupi Posted April 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 Yeah style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> As soon as I got the GTI suspension on I decided to stick with this little guy. Its too much effort to change over now, and the 1.0 may not be fast but it gets me from a-b (via c sometimes if the route means twisty roads style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should see the speed humps i have to drive over on the way to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunalupi Posted April 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 I'm not wimping out - if I had the money i'd lower him - as it is it'll probably have to wait till next year style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />Also, while I had the wheels off......I noticed some rubber marks up my arch liners.....which means I must have bottomed out on 13" steels at one point style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lunalupi Posted July 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 I'll get a couple of better pics up once his tracking is fixed, and more imortantly he is CLEAN style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blush:" border="0" alt="blush.gif" />Got a bit of a dragster thing going on at the mo - front is low as you can see, the back is a bit high so gonna have to be dropped a bit more style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max69vk Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 How far do you reckon you've gone on the front? It looks spot on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunalupi Posted July 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 I have no idea - it needs to go up a little actually....As you can see from this (very bad) picture I just uploaded, the ride height is a little out of balance border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="" />Also found out there is only ONE place near me who can do my alignment - and they are booked up until Wednesday.....driving very carefully till then!

Max69vk Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Either you've got some very steep hills round your way or you've tried an 'arty farty' shot! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> TBH it doesn't look out of balance at all, it got a slight euro style poise with it being lower at the front. How long did it take you to fit the shocks & springs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunalupi Posted July 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Its a bit more of a difference than shows up - but a friend has a tolley jack so we are gonna get it nicely set up tonight, now its had a chance to settle.Also found another place who think they could do the alignment if i raise the fronts 10mm or so *phew*Took us about 2 hours to fit them, and then we fiddled with the height for another hour style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Didn't help that neither of us had fitted coilies before! So one side took ages, the other went straight on....It wasn't ment to be arty farty, but i was crouched in the middle of the road and didn't want to be there for too long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfbr Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Anyhow, here is a quick teaser pic of what I have been doing today border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="" />So you definately didnt clean the wheels up then style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
