Not much is happening at the moment with the 9n, saving up for holidays at the moment. Still haven't decided if I want to keep my 15" BBS or get some 16s. May just space them out and would look a little better[emoji57] ILB windscreen sticker on this week[emoji4] UD'15 coming up soon and so excited[emoji51]

D90s on and sitting nicely with a little bit of toe[emoji57] quick clean this afternoon, need to get round to do a bit of detailing. Not sure what my plans are next, there's a crunching left front of the far which I need to have a look at but should be sorted in a couple of days, too excited for Ultimate Dubs now..

It's been a while.. More prep for UD'15. Took the helpers out the back and was planning to take the helpers out the front but decided not too as I scrape a bit and it sits flat now so wouldn't want to change it[emoji106]

Thinking of powder coating my alloys. Undecided on colour yet though! Won't be done until summer.

Spent this afternoon heading to Halfords just to get extra cleaning stuff before Sunday and also cleaned, sealed and polished my alloys to get that extra shine[emoji4]

Completely agree now after using a wash mitt paint comes out nicely and started to see less scratches :smile: Cheers man!

Update:

- Porsche D90's sold to a mate.

- BBS back on my car with 20mm Spacers on the back. Sits nicely but may need to take my front helpers out as my back helpers are already out :tongue:

- Edge Speakers to be fitted in the back doors and hopefully a boot build in the next couple of months.

Bit short on money as my insurance is amazingly expensive and got to pay for a big holiday in July :unknw:

Thanks for everyones coming along to UD. Awesome too see everyone :D

And to yours aswell man, looks Peng on your new wheels! I'm trying to find some 16" wheels at the moment but it's hard for 5x100[emoji28] probably going to look to buy some adapters again but we'll see, lots to do [emoji106]

Cheers dude, it is hard in 5x100 I know the struggle! Mine are 5x112 and the last set were 5x98, maybe one day I'll get the right PCD!

Gave it a full round clean today as she was filthy, 20 minutes after it rained so was a bit peak.

(unless I find some wider wheels)

Headed to Stonor Park the other day, didn't stay for long but was nice to see local people.

Not a lot has been happening, took my camber off as my tyres are so bald. also my splitter has fallen off AGAIN so I might just take it off.

Looking at buying a new car, hopefully a 2005/6 Audi A3 3dr. Will probably end up modding it. Getting a bit bored with my 9n as I can't find any 16" wheels for a decent price and just getting fed up.

Right.

Finally found some 16s![emoji57] Ronal R7 just been refurbished and look mint.

Picked them up for £200. Will be buying brand new nankangs 195/45s next month as they're so cheap and look decent.

Splitter fell off so ordering a new one soon, running standard alloys at the moment as trying to sell my bbs with chunky tyres, if anyone's interested let me know, can drop off.

I was interested in those wheels too mate if it's the same ones off eBay. Be nice to see what they look like pal. How wide are they mate?

  • Author

Sweet man! They're 7.5J all round which is perfect for me! ET 35. Looking to get around 10-13mm spacers all round. Hopefully get helpers out on my coilovers when I get them on and it should sit nicely.
