Well, I bought some hottuning coilies back in November, and finally got round to fitting them yesterday (I like to plan my work carefully :grin:)....
Car looks cool and the ride isn't nearly as bad as I thought it was gonna be, perhaps someone should tell all the hot tuning haters over on Club GTI :grin: anyway, heres a quick pic....

Also, i won a set of Audi A3 Pepperpots off ebay on friday night, got them off a local guy and paid the princely sum of £32...gotta be a bargain! still need to buy tyres, but I offered em up, and heres how they look....

So, all in all, It was a good weekend :smiley:

Might have problems getting through MOT with wheels that wide :grin: :grin:
-
I was offered a set of them wheels a year ago and decided against them...now I am thinking that was bad and await pictures with them fitted!!
-
seen those wheels fitted before, look good with the correct rubber on :)

and them coilovers are cheaper than i paid too :angry: ......wont be that long before my car will be sitting much more lower all round! 40mm dosent seem enough now!
-
I don't think you can go wrong with these coilies for the money, i paid more for my last set of Venom shocks and springs
And Kells, those are G60 steels in your pic, but thats the look I was going for!
Thanks for all the love guys! :smiley:

Well if ever you decide you don't want em let me know!
-
do you guys get B n G coils in the uk?
-
Looks great mate, love that slammed oem look :drool: If you get desperate, just swap the tyres from your gti rims to the pepperpots, thats exactly what i was gonna do, only. . . i never got round to it :laugh:
-
Anyone know if the pcd on the pepperpots is 5*100 or is it 5*112..?
-
Im sure there 5x100's mate
-

They're 5x100 mate, with an ET of 38 and the centre hole for the hub is exactly the same size as the Golf wheels- thats why I love keeping it in the family, if you know what I mean!
Got the new tyres on today, went for 195/50/15s, set of 4 Federals for £150....OK, not the best tyres, but certainly not the worst, and I'm no racer these days :grin:
Looks :cool: but it was too dark to get any pics by the time I fitted em tonight, so I'll sort them tomorrow :smiley:
-
That will look really good when there on mate! :cool:
-
Ok, got the wheels on now, I reckon they look cool, hows about you guys?...

10mm is wise as i have 20mm and i have to be selective of tryes i fit!! goodyears burn on the arch even at 40mm!! the yokohamas fitted now are fine tho

I know, its just the money and affording to run the damn thing with me earning peanuts!
Although the thought of missioning down to shows in the summer in my car on coilovers and spacers makes me want to keep it!
I dont know what to do!

Mmmmmm they look so cool :smiley:. There was a set on Ebay pretty cheap but they were up in North Wales :sad:

well i can't seem to get rid of mine, no body wants it. so would be easier for me to just mot and tax mine, but its all down to that fat deposit you pay for insurance.
but i will have to get a better paid job in the mean time!
