This looks wicked! Little red touches look sick man, nice work

Also, the declaring wheels thing, do you actually have to do that? Pepperpots are technically steels anyway so do they class as alloys?

Cheers man, There my dust caps (soft drink bottle caps) Got fanta and Dr pepper on the Off side then the Near side i have got fanta beach and diet coke :p ahahha I've sprayed them VW Deep black from halfords and clear coated/dodo jucie waxed them. Silver spray on the bolts aswel.

But cheers man, had a problem with my parents were saying alloys will make my insurance in a accident univude so sorted them out quick time for Tuesday. Haven't herd that before mate, thought they were alloys and always have, There lighter than my steels :(.

Nice one man :)

Cheers man, Looking forward to passing soon!! :D

Nice subtle modications going on here, i likey :D, you should spray your pepperpots while you wait to put them on, and congrats on passing theory, i really need to get a progess thread going :s ,

  • Author

Ahaha cheers, just little mods ATM antil I pass. I was planning on getting them

Sprayed whilst they are off the car but I think I will wait till I can get a good stance on the car then I'll wip them off and get them sprayed. This is because if they don't sit right I will sell them and get some 16"'s. if they were to be sprayed it makes it harder to sell and a waist if they don't work :(

Go for it mate ;) keep it upto date all the time, makes a nice read :)

After seeing these I may have changed my mind if the pots dont work

too pink imo but thats up to you, your taste in wheels is quite good. I'm swaying towards painting my standard wheels black and doing my roof black aswell. your car is nice and would sit well on pepperpots but like i say your opinion is yours, mine is mine.

i say go for it though, keep up the good work

Cheers man, I am looking forward to ordering my coilovers finally. get them pots on and measure up some spacers :) Them wheels would look awesome but may have to keep it in my pants for abit :L ahah

I reckon with coilies and pots you'll be looking at 15 - 20mm spacers but watch your bearing as they will have extra load on them mate

  • Author

Yeah man, personally thinking 40mm :p

i think 40 is way too much. i reckon 30 would suit far better

  • Author

The bloke I brought the pots off was running 20mm all round on a black 9n 5 door and for me they didn't stick out far enough for me, so going to get coilies, then wheels on, Measure them up for spacers then get them painted. But so far after a quick mess around with a tape measure it is around the 30-35 (on rear) mark at standard height till the tyre will hit the arch liner... Then my pots have a bit of stretch, Gonna go from there..

Sounds good I look forward to seeing this done for next show season
