My Mk2 Ibizas, Beetle, Corrado and Golf Cabbies + Jetta. Think I have a car problem?

[OllieL]

Not sure about black lip to be honest with you, think there was a pic of a mk5 golf running something like that.
Thinking white will be easy to have a crack at myself to keep the costs down, then have to get down to hobby craft to get paint for my centre caps.

Need to get the cash together for these wheels sharpish then

Wheels are sorted now, and have found a place that will polish them for about £30 a wheel (which will save me the time of doing it myself). That is if I don't spray them white

 

[Ad-mk2Ibiza]

going for the staggered set?
it will look amazing

 

[OllieL]

Yeah going for the stagger - just have to find my way round the low 23 et (with my 20mm adapter it will be et3!!)

Any ideas apart from camber shimming??

Ollie

 

[OllieL]

Wheels are here

IMO look much nicer than the 7J.

Looking forward to getting them on the rear

Ollie

 

[AlpineWhite]

Should beef the rear end up a bit if you can get them on!

 

[OllieL]

Yeah I think they should go on just about!
Might need a bit of stretch, camber shims and the arches rolled, but they will fit!!

I've decided that they are going to be polished though. Can't bring myself to ruff up two of my hand polished wheels to paint them white (though I am still torn).

Ollie

 

[AlpineWhite]

Polished would be better I think, looks great on the front of your car.

 

[OllieL]

Cheers buddy. Have found out a place in Wolverhampton will polish wheels for the same price as it will cost to have them painted - so might do that and keep my evenings and fingers!!!

Managed to get a few spirited drives in the last few weeks and the valver has been putting a smile on my face , a few of my mates have more expensive tasty cars but can't touch mine for bang per buck

A few more pics of the problem I face getting the new rims on- after a quick trial fit

Thinking I will be going with a 195/45/16 on them and the tread should be under the arch then.
Still not sure if I will be able to get them under the arches.
Think it will be possible to get redrilled hubs as porsche fitment so I don't need the adapters - problem solved
If not then I know a guy who can sort me some camber via some shims on the stub axel
Ollie

 

[Brummy]

Youll end up eating through tyres though Ollie, if you get too much camber

 

[OllieL]

Not thinking of major camber, just try and get the tread under the arches really.
The dish really makes the dials look good, have to get them on!!
Worst comes to the worst I will have to use part worns

One thing I would worry about is MOT, think I would fail for having excessive camber (wouldnt be moting with them on due to the stretch)

Ollie

 

[Brummy]

they'll look the absolute bollo.. with them on. Im seriously thinking of getting some new rims for next year.. the 'Rils aren't doing it for me anymore really

 

[OllieL]

Think some nice splits would look the part, as you seem to be able to pull the mini 15" rims off!!

I'll have the rils, they can sit in the garage with all the other wheels I never use

Ollie

 

[Brummy]

its either a set of splits , or something really 'out there'.... ( no i dont think baby blue Porsche rims would suit my green car! )....got the winter redess t ocome up with something before the show season kicks off, so ... watch this space , I guess

 

[rich.h44]

They look sweet mate you should get them under!have a look at cupra44 "ibiza on air" thread think hes running 8.5. What about geting the arches pulled a littel bit?

Baby blue

 

[OllieL]

Will be getting some tyres trial fitted onto the teledials this week (all being well)

Car is currently in sleeper winter mode

Still having a think about the white roof and mirrors combo - whats the consensus?
Only vinyl so could come back off

Ollie

 

[EnGbudd]

Just leave the roof and mirrors how they are, your car still looks awesome in winter mode

 

[AlpineWhite]

I'd leave it as it is mate. One mod i've always fancied is a set of mk3 mirrors though!
