Oh, wouldn't you just drill 2 holes and feed them through? Only asking because I'm unsure?

You should have left the Cupra bumpers on as they are defo nicer

Could have put them on, but disconnected the supply of water/methanol to them, but I figured that since I'm not going be using them, then no need to cut the bumper for that.

I am going to have to against the grain here and say that I liked the look of the car before any of the changes were made. I think my biggest issue is with the wheels, to me they just don't look right. Sorry

this car is growing on me more and more, i think it may be the nicest one i have seen now...

the wheels are the muts nuts , might have to get some for mine , what they weigh?
that car would look perfect if it was the right colour ........................

yes yellow but red looks a good second best lol

 

[robdf2]

must be stretched 235 on 7.5 J?

 

[DanGB]

well the wheels are 8.5J.

 

[Poverty]

8.5 J's and no rubbing?

Possible to get 245's on the car with modest lowering?

 

[marc8898]

think these alloys will suit Zenith Grey?? look fantastic on the red cupra. must look out for these on fleabay lol

Lol..i do sometimes wish i could have gotten a yellow, but there werent any availabe when I got mine

Dunno about the exact weight - they feel slightly heavier than the standard rim and tyre

Nope..no rubbing, but that's probably because the suspension is quite hard. The 235's are very close to the arches. You could probably get away with 245 if you have a higher ET on the wheel - perhaps 48 and a hard suspension

 

[Matthew FR]

Love your car! Hopefully get my XYZ coilovers in a couple of weeks

 

[Seat racer]

Clean machine!

... on my Cupra R with chassis KW II Inox (hard set) I have BBS CH-R 8.5x19, ET 48, tyre 235/35/19 Bridgestone Potenza RE055A and on front are problem with arch-liner sometimes.

Size 8.5x19 ET 43 in front is best for reduction, rear 8.5x19 ET 40 by both with tyries 235/35/R19, my opinion.
