waxed it today...

[VWSaxon]

and put me new 172 wheels on

i have got all the 172 kit, being sprayed at min, will be on in next couple of weeks...can anyone tell me how much lower the 172 is to my 1.4 dynamique and if i need spacers on the wheels? and if so what size?

and yes before you say it, i know you all think its gay doing this to a 1.4 but at the end of the day, some kind person went and drove into my front bumper and cracked it and didnt leave a note. so instead of replacing it with the gash orginal...ive decided to do this. cant wait

can someone explain to me the purpose of spacers? Dont laugh, im just having a sunday blond moment! lol...

 

[b3nje]

^^ to make the wheels stick out further off the hub so they dont look silly burried in the arch and most cases for dodgey fitting wheels

i know i know

im not "trying" to make it look faster. i just like the look of them. if someone hadnt of cracked my bumper, i probably wouldnt of been all that bothered. but if im gonna have to spend some money on it, might as well give it a little treat, had it almost a year now...its its birfday present :approve:
