Bit of an update,

Carbon wings should be here this week  :laugh:
The car is on temporary coil overs as I have sold the air  :surprised:



New coilovers should be here in the next few weeks along with a new steering wheel.  :driver:

New "spare" wheels

Test fit with no centre caps haha, they are abt's 19x8.5 et32.

Also knocked these up at work to let my run 10mm spacers on the back, I removed the spigot that came in the back of my OZ's and got a set of no hub centric spacers and made this spigot to replace the one on the wheels and makes the no hubcentrics, hubcentric  :signLOL:



Finally last ever pic of it on the air ride

I didnt like the driving high parking low thing tbh I want it to look just as good moving as it does standing still. I only bought it in the first place because I didnt get change to fit the air I had for my passat.

Yea they are 10mm wider per side  :drool:

Been a while since I last posted and my car has changed a fair bit since. Just before cumbria vag I picked up some ABT wheels and fitted some little nankangs and lowered it as far as it would go on the kw's.



Then I got the ultraleggeras back from the refurb in anthracite. Had to raise it up 10mm on the front because of the bigger tyres.


Then after 3 and half months of being foobar'd about by amber performance I finally got a pair of non damaged carbon wings and while I was waiting for them I picked up an ABT big brake kit, its similar to the r32 set up but there are a few minor differences.

Looks nice on the ABT wheels but looks perfect on the ultras especially the colour against the carbon wings  :happy2:

Cheers for the comments, it is a bit hairy with the tyres toutching the carbon. I have some slightly more low profile tyres on the way which should make a little bit of room for them to breath.
