It is your car at the end of the day but the black and red theme works well with the Hella's

Just my 10 pence worth

I prefer your car just as it is/was...But then i'm never too sure on vento fronts, for some reason at certain angles they remind me of Saxo's????

I would only do it if I could keep the other front and bonnet too so I can chop and change at will.

Well I took the vento front off it was on sale but fook it gonna keep it paint it and swap at will  :grin: Im going to tint the vento lights might start preping the bonnet got 4 weeks of work now so ill have some spare time.Ive been looking a cheap wheel options im keeping my BBS but I really like Audi TT ronals for the money they can look pretty decent on a mk3.Just an idea at the moment but the vision in my head is the TT ronals red same colour as the car just a thought  :grin: or ill play it safe black or grey.Lowered the front end abit more but may go a tad lower few pictures of the front lower  :wink: anyone running TT ronals if so what tyre size you got and was any arch work required?







Since those pictures it looks abit lower but think it could do with a little bit more we lowered it about 8mm more upfront I havent touched the rear.

To run TT comps you need 205/40/17 or 195/40/17, you will struggle to run it as low due to needing more room.

Well ive been on the look out for some new rimage and ive struck a deal for some Audi TT Ronals.The wheels have had a refurb late last year in a nice satin black but they have like a red spec in the paint which I like.They have new boots all round 205,40 Kumho KU31 and look mint all being well picking them up tomorrow evening.I would like to keep my current ride height if I have to I dont mind removing some of the inner arch or lifting the coilovers slightly I think if you get them right they look really well on a mk3.Anyway the BBS are going so any takers give me a shout  :wink: I know the Ronals arent everyones cup of tea but I think for my budget there a tidy set of rims.A few piccys of them on the chaps car and the red spec in the paint thanks for looking  :wink:
