Andy:
always look forward to reading your threads Martin and good to see you have turned the car.around and is a.credit to you
rdfcpete:
The bad fortune looks pretty rotten, glad you stuck with it MC :happy2:
Surely be worth it now and further down the line... :evilgrin:
It's certainly looking very worthy.
I could just imagine some black or even grey 19" Turini's on the 7R :party: I've only ever seen them on the latest but one Megane Trophy and it seemed the design was ever so slightly different to the ones we ran in 18x8, but the idea has stuck with me ever since :drinking: Although no doubt, they'd only be available in Renault bolt fitment. Doh.

Cheers fella.
As for the wheels.......yes I've looked for 19" Turinis but with no luck in correct fitment. Wheels are the next thing that need sorting (along with decent rubber).
There's a lot of choice out there and I've narrowed it down to these 5 below in these colours. Budget is around £2k ish inc' tyres.
OZ Leggera HLT 19x8 ET45 in Gold, the Neuspeed Rse102 19x8.5 ET45 in Matt Anthracite or Hyper Black, VOSSEN CVT 19x8.5 ET45 in Gloss Graphite or the REVO rv019 19x8.5 ET45 in Gloss Bronze.
Only consideration really is at some point they will need to house a BBK and I fancy 19" wheels as they fill the archers better than the 18" and some slightly wider wheels will also help with stance etc. Leaning towards the Neuspeed due to the 8.5" width and they are very light at around 9kg IIRC but the REVO are also pretty light and the cheapest at £1200. Also love the VOSSEN a lot but not sure if they will happily fit a BBK within them due to their concave nature although I've seen pics of 8 Pot calipers fitted, not sure if that was straight forward or not.

I caught the back end of your ed30 thread when I joined. That was a sorted car - and no doubt gave quite a few people on here lots of ideas..
I've got to agree with you (just) about the 'yes, 7R's are everywhere, but...' argument. I think the anti-R argument holds more weight if you're comparing standard with standard. As in a standard R against a standard PP/Clubsport. Got to be a fwd car at ~300/300 or less.
But a well-modded R changes the rules. This is taking shape how I'd imagine I'd do things myself. It won't look like all those bog standard (mostly white) Rs that you don't even bother giving a nod to nowadays because you just know it aint one of us driving. It won't fall behind a tuned TFSI on the road either once you're mapped. Simple Stage 1 and you're up there. Hybrid and beyond... truly fast.
Anyway, my point is:
Standard 7R - hmmm.
Properly modded 7R - leagues above most 'normal cars'.
Final point, as I'm waffling. I like the fact you've done the eyebrows black. As in, you're not trying to make them look like part of the bonnet (Max Power Nova GSI flashback), but part of the headlights. I like this.
I liked your last car. I think I'll like this.

Thanks @AJP
I genuinely agree with on the "R argument". For me I had a list of boxes to tick and the cars that ticked them were the 7R, the new RS3 and (possibly) S3 but I love my Golfs so it was never really a choice. RS3 was, and is, a better base to start from but I'd of had to PCP it and it doesn't sit well with me modding it then.
As for the Clubsport.....I prefer their looks, really do. Plus it's a belter to drive.....possibly my next car.
The eyebrows? I love em!! A real marmite mod. I think they add a litlte definition to the lights.
