Finally managed to save up enough money so I've ordered a set of AP coilovers............ and now for the tricky bit, WHEELS!!

After weeks of browsing, I've narrowed it down to 3 sets.

Lenso BSX: 7.5X16 All round

Keskins KT1: 7.5X16 Front
9x16 Rear(maybe 7.5 at rear wth spacers. Trying friends 9" for fitting)

Audi TT Compomotives (polished): Seen an ibiza with a set on here so won't bother with a picture.

What do you guys think?

Unsure how the lenso and keskin would look so if you guys have pictures or photoshops of them on an ibiza then that would be great.

HAHA, o yes she was a HOWLER. Not a bad effort for a girl but still not my cup of tea. Very max power I thought.

Will try and get a photoshop done wih the lenso and post it up asap.

A friend just done this for me and i'm loving it large. He decided to give it some smoothing and lowering so gives me something to work at too :D

Right, the car is hitting the bodyshop tomorrow, coilovers still in the post and I've been making some phonecalls about the wheels.

Rimstyle can supply the lenso (7.5x16) but at an offset of ET25, which he said would fit, but I'm slightly concerned about this! Will it fit?

I know it's available in an offset of ET38, would I be better off getting these?

Car in question is a peuni 1.4 so just calipers up front.

Going for a fix up. Had some filler work done by seat before which has sunk quite a bit. So thought it was best if I get it fixed before coilovers and wheels go on.

Ah i see....filler looks bad on black cars.... :( Mine has some in and you can see it. If you look for it anyway. But if you don't know, you don't notice. :)

A quick update:
Coilovers arrived and are being fitted next sat.
Ordered a set of wheel spacers(40mm). Decided to wait until after winter for new rims.
New set of philips bulbs to get rid of that hideous yellow look.
Mud flaps have been removed to give a cleaner look.

Pictures should be up next weekend.

Cheers.

Bonnet bra is a love hate relationship by the looks of it, but still good fun when people look at it and think HUH!

I have nothing against the AP coilovers as they're a great pack but shall be looking for a set-up that can take me lower as not realy happy with the stance.

Thanks for looking
