This is my red coupe

5th coupe to date, i've had every Reg on a coupe ( to my knowledge )

from a H plate right throo to M reg.

4 red and 1 black, had a 1.0 spi 1.3 spi a GT and now g40.

Enjoyed everyone and would still go back to a 1.0 spi if it was cool enough.

This shell was bought from Querty ! < (thomas)

travelled down to pick it up on trailer and had a good wee chat.

brought the car back up and stripped it right now its had everything replaced changed or modified, and now I'm proud to announce its mine and i done it :)

Please say you are planning on putting some decent tires on the car?

yea u will defo need some good shoes on the beast, matey, dont think those will cut it, but other than that she looks sweet :D

  • Author

lol, i know ... but i paid 54 each corner fitted . £216 fitted for budgets.

i have some continental contisports on my borbet t's... and there 195/45 but there on different wheels.

i dont think you can really get awesome tyre in a 175. even if you can probs still wont grip enough.

:( tyres are expensive lol

£216 for budgets...I paid less £30 for my 195/45 Toyos... :shock: Slave to the stretch? :lol:

  • Author

i would think so ..

are there any 175's said to be really good? I'm wondering wether just to revert back to 195's .. just not looking forward to the rubbage!

i have no writing on the sidewalls of the 175's on the back with out spacers! and the lip is cut away :o.

i need to find an arch roller :)!

Well nice, I prefer the Brocks over the Borbets too.

  • Author

i only think so because borbets are alot more popular so I'm more likely to see them on another mk3, plus brock has more dish!

the polo looks even better in the flesh - cant wait to see it on the road! cant wait till my breadvan gets the djtez treatment - an inspiration to my car purchasing and a true genious with the polos!

Chris

it does make it look a little wider but the main reason is due to the fact the other ons mirrors are pushd in, this makes the most dramatic change to width, try it on you are own, take a pic with em oun, n then with them in, from the exact same spot
