Plans are:

Getting the arches rolled on 5th April (Rear) Then i can drop it a tad more :p

Smooth Sills out

Smooth rear bumper, where tow hook is.

Get a few little bits of rust sorted

Then move onto, leathering up' the interior :)

What do you think?

Cheers for the coments, i was having second thoughts about running 13's with them being too small, but I'm glad i chose them now :D

Martin.

Told you 13"s would look sweet martin!

Love the 8's at the back they look sweet. Reckon you should space the fronts out a little bit, mat be 10mm or something.

Yeah thats exactly what Phil was thinking yesturday. They only just clear :p

Martin.

did u trial fit one at his then?

Yeah we trial fitted the front passeneger side.

Martin.

Yeah, I always thought 14" min for the 256mms.

They were proper tight! But did clear. Very suprised!

Does look good martin. Get those c spanners out. :lol:

sweet ride

:D Dont worry phil they will be out once the rears are rolled :D I struggle to get into my drive as it is :p

Martin.

Get those c spanners out. :lol:

2nd :nod:

The wheels do look good, but mk4`s need to be absolutly on the deck to look good on 13`s

that rear stance is brilliant

LOL how the fuck? Some 13s don't clear 239s :lol:

hmmm, thinkin about it how the hell did u manage that :lol; must be a mad et!

well you live and learn!!!

another on that thought 13s dint clear the valver brakes

Nono, 13s DON'T clear 256s. There must be some form of witchcraft involved.

Oh wait, what is it that makes them clear? The backspace or something? The offset isn't anything special, ET20, a lot of 13x7s are the same as that, and some (ie ATS classics) don't even clear vented 239s without a carrier swap...

i'm pretty shocked that they clear the brakes but good work dude nice addition to an already sweet car!

looking good mate. Good to see my old car going through some good tranformations!

I've always thought that 13s are a little small for Mk4s, and I feel that 14s would be slightly better.

But then I'm only being pedantic... they look brill!

:D the rear dish on that is ace.....but does need to come down alot at the back. I have a feeling rolling might not be enough if you want to go low, i think they will need puled alittle to stop it scrubbing :)
