RossB Posted June 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 (edited) Cheers guys, I'm in love with them!Only got the one built up so far, I coated them in Gtechniq C5 first which took quite a while but hopefully should help keep them clean.

RossB Posted June 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) Built and sealed . Booked Thursday off work so I can get the tyres fitted, and then fit them... Excited! Oh and I now have a notched chassis so I'm gonna be having a play with the ride height on Thursday too Edited June 18, 2013 by RossB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossB Posted June 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Everything almost went brilliantly. Loving the fitment, managed to use my 12mm spacers on the rear and it doesn't rub even with it being lowered more (put my Weitec springs back in with no adjusters). I wound the front down 8 turns on the drivers side, I then came to do my last corner of the car, front passenger side, and my coilover adjuster is completely seized on, and I've also damaged it with the C spanner trying to move it, so I need a new one . So the car is lop sided for the time being!On the plus side, the car is lower, fitment is good, I seem to have eliminated all rubbing and driveshaft knocking, and I've had no more trouble with speed bumps than I did before.... Win . It was actually worse when I'd neglected my tyre pressures on the Mono's and they were really low (whoops), the bumper was often catching speed bumps.

Lupo-Joe Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 You nailed this dude. All the time effort has payed off with perfect fitment, possibly/probably the best on the forum!Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossB Posted June 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Wow, thanks Joe, means a lot . I don't think it's up there with the show standard GTI's though, but I am a bit obsessed with fitment/stance and really wanted to get it right. Makes or breaks the car for me.

fatttty Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Great work Ross, as previopusly said the research into fitment was well worth while. I did the same with my RM's (same size and similar offsets) had loads of notes and calculations working out what would be best. Its great to know how a wheel will look when its fitted even before they are built! Top work mate! Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossB Posted June 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Cheers Alex! Yeah it's definitely worth figuring out your offsets, worked out really well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalum-arosa Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Probably the BEST gti on the forum well done looks epic! Red compliments the black so well! Nice red leather interior like alex had in his gti and it would be perfect, well its already perfect, well done mate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossB Posted June 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Thanks for the comments! It's not the best GTI on the forum because for a start the general condition of the bodywork isn't show standard like some on here, I'm flattered though none the less!!
