[MarkW]

Ouch on the dent front chap, I feel your pain though, someone rear ended my coupe a couple of years ago

RR figures are good, gives me an idea of what mine would be.

Any recent pics?

[MaffSE1]

was gutted when it happened back and better than before it went in now lol


got no pics since it returned as i just havnt had time not even to clean it

[MaffSE1]

total forgot that i sent pics to TV till my mate texted me about it lol

[MaffSE1]

Wheels are on



Also re fittted my black grill after some more paint

[MarkW]

Looks good chap.

[MaffSE1]

i got rubbing on teh back driver side only anyone got any ideas why???

[MarkW]

Is it lowered?

[MaffSE1]

nope standard

[MarkW]

Hmmmm. Have you had a look to see if there's anything loos and rubbing? Does it only happen when you go over bumps and the car bottoms out? Are the wheels the right offset for the car?

[MaffSE1]

problem solved i thinks! lol arch liner was catching so cut it away lol

[MarkW]

Nice one.

[GaryVaux]

new wheels look great! What tyres are you using? 215/35/18 is what you want on a mk4 (anything bigger will rub) Also love the oval tailpipe, they suit the coupe perfectly

[MaffSE1]

thanks

I got 215/35's was looking at the car last night and the drivers wheel looks a little further out to the drivers!

Was told 4 wheel alignment might sort it

[MaffSE1]

Been a while now fitted a spoiler Hella Xenon Headlights (not in pics) and sprayed the Alloys Anthracite.

[coupe22]

love the look of penta's, had them on my coupe and lowered it 40 ish mm, wish i had mine still :-(

[Kev_G]

Looks great always loved the Ginger Coupes. How bad was the hit to the rear of the car as you may of bent something a little and not noticed.

[MaffSE1]

Quite bad (see pics above) when to vauxhall for repair the mess i had it back in wouldnt surpise me if that is the cause as the rear bumper isnt quite lining up with teh rear quarter now

[MaffSE1]

Best update this

I now have 308mm on the front


and also have hella "sharkeye" headlights & finally got myself a irmy grill

[dewismotorsport]

Did you just use new carriers for the calipers to make them fit? Or did you use a full gsi/turbo kit?
