Looking funky.

What was up with the drivers side door?!

  • Author

a friend of mine owned it before me and he sprayed the door (and done a crap job) and didn't lacquer it so its very rough. probably worse than 80grit sand paper to be honest. need to get hold of a passenger door to because its been hit. it had cut springs in it when i got it but with the coilovers its alot lower. for £200 its not bad. full toad alarm in it installed 6months ago. he was stuck for money :D

Also where'd you get your single wiper from?

Whats she drive like with a 280mm momo wheel? i was thinking of getting one of them but was worried about

a. Seeing the dials

b. too small?

Coz they do a 300mm dont they?

I also thought of getting one, but then thought.

Airbag OR Solid steering wheel smacking me in the face if i crash.

Looks good. Love the strectch on them wheels!

Slamming into my chain steering wheel was always a worry of mine, lol.

WOAH!

yeah i reckon we could be bigger than the edition38 lads :D i was gona go for 8's all round but i like my staggered dish. but i'll have the fronts well spaced dont worry. i'm itching to get my back bumper so can start spraying. i'm also quite surprised by the attention its receiving on here. its just my wee shit heap i bought to work on :p

We`re British, we like the underdogs ;):lol:

What et are them 8`s? mine are et15 but dont stick out that far :?

Id probs get 20mm spacers if you want the 7`s to fill the arch too, mine are a little tucked on the front, i want some 5mm on there i think :nod:

  • Author

My 8's at et15 too. your polo obviously just isn't as cool as mine :p the 7's are et23 because when i ordered them the Steffan factory had run outa et15. i'll be spacing them at least 20mm but for the mean time I'm getting away with it by running the nose down stance :D
