Other versions
10mm right up to 90mm :surprised:
Plus Points
Gives the car a much better 'stance' and a wider track.
Easier access to the inner part of the wheel for cleaning :happy2:
Minus Points
If you are lowered you may scrape the inner arch liner or wheel arch. Im lowered on Eibach Sportlines with 18'' wheels and have had no rubbing/scraping issues so far.

'Stance' Pics:
Overall Im really pleased with the results. They have transformed the look of the car and I can't stop looking at her! It seems to make the arches look more aggresive and the wider lower appearance looks great!
One of my favourite mods so far :happy2:
And a big thanks to Ben for his assistance :happy2:

Top Cat:
i was lucky enough to see this mod on this very car on Saturday, and have to say it looks millimetre perfect and realise now that it is a very important mod to get the look just right.
I went down to Naths to pick my own car up after not seeing it for 2 weeks, and all i could do was look at his.
Good write up as well Nath. :drinking:

Cheers Cat Man :happy2:
WhiteGTI:
Nice write up Nathan! I've been looking into these too, but I can't decide whether I need 10cm on the back or 12cm? I don't want to buy 10cm and then think that I need more! Do you think that 10cm is the right amount? Does it fill the arches adequately? I want the wheel to be at the same level as the arch, nothing less - if that makes any sense! :smiley: :smiley:
