yeah they are Phil J ones, i am not planning on going too low as i often have people in the back of my car. haven't got round to fitting them yet due to the lovely weather we have been having recently

picked these up today though

they were quite cheap but they need a refurb and i need to try and buy some center caps for them.

Any ideas on what colour i should do them?

iv got the middle middle bit for them selling

dont think that they are the right ones but thanks anyway

well they came off a set of those wheels man, just trying to help

middle, middle bit

oh right yeah they are the right ones didn't read your post properly haha. i just won a set on ebay for the complete center bit so thanks anyway

started to refurb the bbs's today, gave them a good wash first and they werent too bad condition just a bit of curbing on the rims and the rest of the wheel was fine on all of them

I only managed to get one finished today before it started to rain but it came out quite well i think.

I will attempt to do the rest tomorrow if it doesnt rain and then i just neeed to swap the tyres over from my current wheels and put them on the car :)

finished painting the wheels today

they look good them mate i got a set for 50 quid but aint got round to doing anything with them yet are they the 14" ones by 6.5 i sso what tyers you got on them

Edited 24 July, 201115 yr by cav_123

No they are 15"x7j. They have 195/50/15 on at the moment but i am getting 195/45/15 on soon

Went to get the tyres swapped and wheels fitted today with a quote of £50. An hour later i leave the tyre fitters after spending £140 Turns out my front two tyres were shot and i then needed to buy some new nuts and locking nuts for the new wheels.

But oh well cos i think it was worth it with the way the wheels look on the car now

The old wheels are now up for sale and hopefully i will be fitting the coilovers this weekend now the weather has got better

got the centre caps for the wheels today just got to finish painting them at the weekend and then hopefully fitting the coilovers

Took some better pictures of the wheels fitted too

looking good :)

Coilovers Finally fitted!!!!!!

it took me and my dad a while to do as i didn't have the best of tools and some of the nuts had rusted on and had to be drilled out. i didn't take many pictures as my phone died.

Before:

After:

and my dads neck after fitting them haha

Will try and get some better pictures as i have mucked around with the height a bit due to rubbing

got some better pics today, had to raise it even more after my arches tried to eat the tyres on the way to work this morning which was annoying, but it is still quite low. Got to wait till i have some money to get the arches rolled and then i can go properly low :-D

Looks so much better now dude, good job.

Just knock the lip back on your rear arches with a hammer that will give you more clearance.

And do the same on the front then roll them with a baseball bat or something if you don't mind loosing a little bit of paint :)

thanks, i think if i have enough money i might get them done profesionally as my a couple of my arches are rusty :(, but if i am short on cash then i might try it myself

finally got round to painting my center caps today, just waiting for some vw stickers to replace the bmw ones to arrive now

Got my arch rolling booked in for this sunday so i will actually be able to drive the car without it rubbing haha and maybe go even lower

if i manage to scrape some more money together in the next week or two then i will also be ordering my exhaust system soon

on a bad note though my dad has sold his R32 At least i got to drive it down the runway at gti international. Managed to get up to 120mph before my dad realized how fast i was going :grin:

Keep the BMW stickers mate, I think they make a nice change.

i do like them but a couple of them needed replacing so i thought i may as well get vw ones

I'd keep the BMW ones cause they're pimp

I'd keep the BMW ones cause they're pimp they fit nice though dude, good job! :)

Loving the progress you are making on this! Can't wait to see more too

thanks for the comments, there isn't a lot more i have planned apart from arch rolling and an exhaust, unless i manage to get some money together for some more major mods but we will have too wait and see.....
