Thanks guys   :smiley:

Wheels are replica monzas 8x18 powder coated black , did have original monzas 18" but just didn't fill the arches enough for my liking so went for the wider reps  :happy2:

Are you getting any rubbing on the new wheels at that ride height mate, I'm thinking of getting a set. Have you tucked up the arch liner ? Also did you notice a differance in handeling or acceleration with the lighter wheels

Cheers !

....You'll always notice a marked difference with significantly lighter weight wheels. It's because the mass rolling weight is reduced. You will feel much more steering feedback - It's a great mod if you're into achieving good handling (missed by too many folks imo). Slippery slope of modding............... :evilgrin:

well had a mishap last year  :ashamed:



eventually got my finger out and been working to sort my back end  :chicken:

got myself a US R32 back end,Milltek R32 zorst and also a Seibon carbon bootlid  :party:




excuse the crappy iphone pics
not 100% on the exhaust fitment as i might still adjust it back a bit (altho the pics are after some "spirited driving") and still got a bit of tidying up to do on the back end.
Overall happy with the way its turned out  :jumpmove:

My r32 milltek exhaust sat like that, loosen the clamp between the centre section and the downpipe/milltek connecting pipe and tap the whole thing back with a rubber mallet. Loosen the rear section clamp and tap the tailpipes up to sit closer to the bumper :happy2:

Black real carbon with Steel Grey looks great  :drool: - Did you get your Seibon here in the UK or from across the pond?

That sticky plaster 'X' is brilliant!  :notworthy:
