You selling the barbets?... Also rolling looks good you use a heat gun to heat up the arches at all.

 

[wenman]

Borbets are sold sorry! Yea using a heat gun

 

[FR_MATT]

Looking forward to seeing it on the comps, did you get any paint cracking?

 

[L5FLD]

Cheers mate, found any wheels yet?

No problem man. Going to look good fully fitted with the colour combo I think .

Going to wait until after winter so I can save and purchase them. Schmidt wheels are expensive!!!!

Oh and for the record, when I was static, I had the fronts at ET19 and rear at ET10 which fitted with no problem after the front arch liners had worn through a little :S Rear had ro rubbing at all though. Hope this helps.

 

[wenman]

Wheels are on just need to cut down my locking wheel bolts.
They sit perfect, no camber shims and they shouldn't rub fingers crossed, and they sit flush on the rear

 

[Bera]

pics or it didn't happen! Ehehe

 

[wenman]

Well major problem, the spacers I was going to use arent machined properly
They sit on the hub locator but dont go far enough back to actually sit flush on the face of the hub.
I need to get in touch with Venom as they are new and unused, and i don't want to order another set and h
Ave the same problem!
Not happy

 

[wenman]

Ive ordered some 15mm spacers this morning so hopefully they will work and the 13s can go on the front

 

[wenman]

The 13mm spacers are on the front and clear fine
I managed to refit the bumper near the drivers side arch where I hacked it all away when I got the Borbets
and I have some pics I will post up soon!

 

[wenman]

All wheels are now on, there's 16mm of spacing on the back.
The passenger side arch needed rolling another 4-5mm bit brutal really!
But they sit quite well I'm happy and they don't rub!
Final offsets are et12 up front and et9 rear

 

[L5FLD]

We demand PICTURES you tease.

 

[wenman]

Tonight

 

[wenman]

A few pics of the snapped off under tray and scrape marks and inner arch chopping.
Wheel pics should be up later

I think it's holding up pretty well

The mechanic in me is wincing, but the scene-boy in me is applauding and desperately trying to find a pen so you can sign my nipple I have those sorts of scrapes and dents all over my cat XD methinks putting the exhaust at the front of the engine was a baaaad move for VAG.....

 

[JonnyH10]

Such butchery of those arches, shame on you!




Jokes...big fan of your work!

 

[wenman]

Haha they are methodically butchered

 

[wenman]

I managed to get some pictures of the wheels tonight using my mates camera.
I just point and shoot so sorry if the quality isn't very good!
It also looks like the cars got really bad RR but it sits very level on flat ground

 

[JonnyH10]

Wheels look good mate! Looks too low at the back for me, but as you say it could just be the pics.

 

[wenman]

The back is about 5mm lower than the front, don't know whether to go through with the hassle of a chassis notch etc to get the front down 5mm

 

[JonnyH10]

Can you not just raise the back a bit? Front sits nice as it is.
