Looks nice fella

 

[Christopher]

if you mean the last picture its a reflection :rasp:

It's either a reflection of a ghost, or swirls

 

[ROB91]

sits well. dont like the air intake tho.

Yellow? paint it the same as the car and remove the other fog light

 

[gunner3011]

i can guarantee its not swirls ...

yeah mixed bag on the yellow trumpet, some love some hate

considering getting another fog to replace it

 

[leeds2592]

Wheels look too big.

Needs OZ F1's!!

 

[gunner3011]

wouldnt say there too big atall mate 16" suits the car pretty well i think

 

[Stu.]

[gunner3011]

its off a megane mate, just picked it up in the scrappies

 

[Stu.]

i had custom 90mm springs off a guy on here. was lowww :rasp:

 

[gunner3011]

i almost got a set but the ride comfort thoughts put me off! is it shocking the ride?

 

[Ben]

Sits very nice that, getting it colour coded?

 

[gunner3011]

Sits very nice that, getting it colour coded?

looked into it a while back but i quite like the black now, breaks it up a little!

plus i dont have the cash for colour coding atm

 

[Stu.]

ride didnt overly bother me tbh! supose it coulda been worse ha if you were driving down the motorway or something and you hit a dip in the road the wheels would sometimes rub on the inside of the rear arches! lol i was on 15s too. how far down are you at the front?

 

[gunner3011]

probably a wise decision by me then as im on 16s too. the fronts wound down all the way on vmaxx but not a clue how low that actually is! probably around 80mm maybe?

 

[Stu.]

aye would be close on the 16s! did you have to put spacers on the front? my 172 wheels hit the coilovers on the front. thats why i ended up on 15s as they were in the shed! mine were would all the way down too! good man had considerd taking out the helper springs to go lower though

 

[gunner3011]

i found out the hard way and shaved the 2 inner walls on the tyres thought it was the plastic arch liners scrubbing a little, ran it litterally down the road and stopped due to the smoke pouring from the arches aha. took the wheels off to find rubber shavings everywhere and 2 ruined tyres so running 15mm hubcentrics now!

im also considering the helper spring removal option! its slow so it may aswell be low :rasp:

 

[Rob]

Looks good, the 16's aren't a bad thing on a non sport, a good choice for the car IMO.

 

[gunner3011]

Cheers Rob!

 

[Stu.]

lol! low ftw you thaught about rubber band tyres? i had 165x40s on my 16" porkers. made it sit lower at the front too! and i think theyd look mint on the 172 wheels! :rasp:

 

[gunner3011]

By rubber band do you mean stretch on the tyres?

 

[Stu.]

That i do lol, depends how you drive though i supose

 

[Whiskerz16v]

Oh hey stu fancy finding you in here!!

Car sits pretty nice! Jelous muchly!
Also what backbox you got on there?

 

[gunner3011]

D

 

[gunner3011]

Do you think stretch would suit them?

And its just a peco backbox with centre box removed, love the sound tbh!

 

[Stu.]

i think itd look pretty cool. i had thaught about putting them on my 172 wheels at one point. heres a few pics of them

the stretch:

how low it sat at the front

then on 15s with the custom springs at the back. 50 + 45 profile tyres though

 

[gunner3011]

Thr stretch looks sick mate!

Goes bloody low too lol, might look into it

 

[Philip.]

Jake, dont stretch becuase I am
Looks good though, sits nice!

 

[gunner3011]

oh and you copied my yellow fogs. gay
