Hakster Posted October 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 You can never take too many pictures of a car lovely GTi. Very clean and just looks beaut! Keep up the good work (:Thank you :-)Cars looks real nice, lucky git with ac too! Did you use extended bolts with the spacers? How you finding the 15mm?Give us a shout if you need a hand with anything, ive pretty much pulled mine apart with the held of the workshop manuals.With the 20mm ones it was bolt on first then the wheels go on as normal with the original bolts. These new 15mm ones use extended bolts. Much preferred the safety of the bolt ons but these seem fine so far, they're hub centric with the lip where the wheel sits so should be good.Cheers mate!

Chrisbee Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Whats the clearance like with the 15mms? I've got a set of 5mm hub centrics for the front of mine but wont put them on till i've got longer bolts, just trying to decide what to put on the back.

Hakster Posted October 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) Not sure what it would be like on the arosa but 20mm was slightly too big and was rubbing (I have 205/45 tyres), you can come and try them out if you wish, they're just sitting in the garage...

Hakster Posted October 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Small update; vw badges are now on the roof bars, I also added 0.5mm rubber mats to the bits where it clamps on the roof to prevent any damage to the car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hakster Posted November 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Not much going on with the Lupo tbh. I thought I'd update you with another project other than the mk2 Golf (will update on that soon too). I've gone and bought myself an F1 wheel which will be refurbed and made into a nice table. It's impressively light! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rapidebrothers Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 That F1 wheel looks Awesome! The refurb work on it is great, will definently be a talking point once you get the glass on it! Much better than any of those crappy ones from IKEA ha ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
