lupogtiboy Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Just to answer Al's question on about page 3 of this thread(!), this did used to belong to a buddy of mine called Garth. It was bought and traded back to Crawley Volkswagen, as Garth traded-up to a stunning white 6R polo 1.2t SEL. I'm glad its gone to a good home, as Garth was meticulous with her and sorry to see her go. I like what you've done so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcusgrant Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 personally i would of loved to have seen 195/45 tyres and arch's made to accommodate... but this is still going to be very nice and fresh when out of the body shop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lermy Posted February 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 (edited) how they sit even if i had the arches made to acomodate with 195/45's i would have needed them flared as the tyre would have scrubbed still, the arches are getting rolled so i can space them out for now till winter then i may split the rears for bigger dishes Edited February 12, 2011 by Lermy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

little rich Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 Good progress,But surely your body shop could roll your arches? its not a hard job especially if your having a respray!And 2.5k is alot, id expect to be getting a full in and out for that at a well known body shop..Money aside, this will be sweet when done! wheels will really work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lermy Posted February 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 2.5k with brake calipers painted front bumper smoothed loads of little bits done and new rear window supplied and fitted, they could but were making a bit of a mess and were going to cut bits out so i thought id get it done properlyit will look totally different when done, and tbf the wheels look better with the 165's if not i can always change them over to my 195 45 proxes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
