I've redone the boot build because the first was a bit crummy for actual sound, so I knocked this up in a few hours, just boxed up so should sound a little more bassy now, bit of a rough job but I'll eventually tidy it all up

so it went from this...

to this...

the amp was knocking on the side which was annoying me so I've done a sort of mini false floor and now the amp sits under there out of view, and it's created a more usable boot

  • Author

not yet, I need one 195_45_15 part worn tyre but not sure where I could get a cheap one from around here, you got any idea?

and then somewhere that can fit the tyre's without damaging the lips, THEN they'll be on :D

Pete tyre man! in Kettering near whitlock motors he does part warn tyres I can get you his numbers tomorrow, anywhere will put them on try kwit fit they done a few of mine for me :)

  • Author

yeah if you can get me his number mate that would be great. I went to kwik fit in kettering along that stamford road and the guy said they wouldnt fit any tyres that wern't theirs.

selecta tyre said like £58 for one tyre then about £49 to fit them and all balancing and stuff. Is that the sort of price I'm looking at to put them on?

Wtf kwit fit gone all gay for they use to do tenner for a fit/balancing mayb try wilko at the bottom of the road they got there new garage up, selecta tyre doesn't sound too bad :/ could always try orbit in Ruston there number is in the yellow pages young lad does alot of VW also he will stretch tyres too! may even have a part warn hanging around :)

Love your paintscheme on those wheels!! I'm doing basically the exact same thing with my ATS Cups... ;)

  • Author

Fudging hate this car atm, so many things to do and now I haven't got a job, brilliant.

Put the cups on and found this...

The locking nuts were taking chunks out the inside of the alloy

I've spent 2 days trying to sort all this out, bought 5mm spacers and it still rubs so I've taken them off again and put steelies back on

So I'm going to have to buy longer bolts and bigger spacers and hopefully not have to roll the arches

Edited by getmoregetmint

What's the offset on those Cups?

  • Author

et37, 7j and thats with a 5mm spacer on too

Have you sorted your camber, if not then pull them out abit and it'll give you some more room.

Mine where the same.

Pete.

  • Author

this is when I tried them the other day, its back on the steelies until I sort it and I'm guessing I'll be rollin on steelies for edition which is shite :/

IMG00123-20110406-1625.jpg
