is it just me or does the indicator/headlamp/bonnet not line up right?

Looks Like a photoshop to me

Theres no way thats a photoshop mate! I saw it in the flesh!

(and took the bumpers doorcards bootlid and interior...)

yup its not lined up! its because it was a cat c and had some damage so thats why it look out of line. Use to be my polo in 2008-2009 and sold to someone in cumbria. i still miss it.

mine was cat c and had the same problem, i just thought it was trick of the eye when i the bra on as they go slightly over the headlamps, also i thought maybe its cause my grille rail was a fakeo..

Aah, I just feel like I have to show you guys! This is a guy here in Sweden ridin\\\' in one of the most annoying BMW\\\'s in the whole country. Police, old people and youngsters often comment on it from what I\\\'ve heard. I love it though!!

Now, that is seriously low

Wheels too small masses of arch gap = fail .

did you post the wrong photo and not realize it?

i can't see why that car would annoy the whole country? unless it's been keeping it's daughter in the cellar as a sex slave for the last 25 years?

That beemer isn't even low, just looks like theres a bit of bodywork under the bumper thats hanging off.

That orange 6n looks utterly terrible as well, theres only a couple on this thread that pull off banded steels imo.

not 6n's but meh...

Was gonna keep my new wheels a secret till they were on the car. But, as I'm now not getting these, fuck it I'll post up the Photoshop I did back in April.

Wounder, eh?

Ah well, will have to look for some different rims I guess.

Due to the fact that he used to have his numberplate sitting on the side flipped over, and everyone says - "You can't do that to a BMW".

Oh look, something shiny.

is it me or once the tread sticks out the archs they just look shit?(mk4's i mean) To me the effort is getting the right width and tyres so they look right?

Just my 10p

Jake

yea right, the stretch and arch's look better when flush.

My Mk4 with 7x13s

My old steels

My old polo rip

13 x 7 front

13 x 8 rear

Not wellers or banded steels!, But 13x8

Most of these look awful. Either they're poking right out or the tyre size is all wrong. Traveling behind so many wide wheeled dubs on the way to UD at the weekend, I have come to loathe stretched tyres. Either they are too narrow as idiots try to get stretch on a 5" rim, or they are stretched beyond any resemblance of a tyre. Most of the cars above seem to conform to the idea that wide wheels = a good stance. Wrong! As with any modification, it really needs to be in proportion for it to work.

This is going to wind people up i know, but its my tupence. The only one that is even close to getting it right is the black 6n with pink wheels. Other than that, fail all over

I agree COMPLETELY with it. Its the most meaningful thing you've ever said

I'm with this. Bought my car and it had 13x8 et0 classics on the rear with stretched tyres and some other badly stretched tyres on the 7's on the front. It not only looked shite but it handled shocking.

As I've said before. Who wants wheels that looke like a slack black ass hole shitting out a can of beans?

Agree'd.

Thing is though I don't think I've seen a decently stanced 6n on 13's, Either to much arch gap or horrible poke!.

Those two are noice! Maybe people have upped their game since this thread was started

LOVE THIS THREAD!
