Re: Kieran's Iceberg 172 Project

Are they 8j Kieran? I wanted to do this since I got mine but I was beat to it :(! I guess you need the camber in the rear to fit them snug? Do the fronts fit in the arches without camber? I don't know if it would be safer with 7j?

Re: Kieran's Iceberg 172 Project

The wheels are 15x7j mate, hard enough to fit with 7j lol let alone 8j! Lol

Cheers Sam! Need to sOrt out the tyres as its still scrubbing like a b**ch and I'm not even low!!

Re: Kieran's Iceberg 172 Project

What does he use to stop the car from squatting at the rear when accelerating hard? As this is when mine scrubs most

Re: Kieran's Iceberg 172 Project

I paid roughly 700 with tyres, yeaaa I just assumed even with smaller tyres it might still scrub under acceleration, just don't want to buy new tyres and it still do it lol

Re: Kieran's Iceberg 172 Project

little update

want to make the front look a bit more aggressive so will be buying some subtle smoked lamin x for the headlights tomorrow afternoon.

will only be slight difference.. so shouldnt effect light output too much

Where do you buy that from mate? I have a friend that has put very fine subtle mesh over the headlights and it looks ace so could try that also if the film doesn't work.

Re: Kieran's Iceberg 172 Project

It's just lamin x, they their own website mark. Yeaa on my fiesta I used the fly eyes on my rear lights, didn't like it, look like someone just put tights over them lol
 
  BlackGold 182
Re: Kieran's Iceberg 172 Project

done the lamin x on headlights, only pics with one done but will get some more later

its hard! got a few little bubbles, says they will fade away after a week or so, if they do then ill keep it if not then ill get rid.
