Mmmm, Undecided at the moment :wonder:  Think it's the wheels, Sorry :(

[skinnyman]

Blimey, that's as low as a low thing!  I admire your commitment to the cause but being a practical sort of bloke, do you ever have to carry people around in the back?

[Paul thornton]

Its on airlift v2....

I like it, my mates got airbags on his polo, had to get them as when he moved house he couldn't get on the drive. Can you get a Rizla between the sidewall and the arch?

No

Need to trim the archliners as they are sitting on the tyres so in theory it will go lower. Also needs a notch on the other side as its currently sat on the shaft!

Hahaha that's mental, love it!

[IulianE]

Should be, they say with air the lower you go the more comfortable it is.

Not drove it yet as have a few things to finish off... need to get a rear box made as the current one is too big and catches the air spring

Change of wheels for me and that's a win

[dsmithmobile]

With a notch you will definitely get lower than I was

but then you will then sit on the steering rack ends as mine were like bananas from rubbing on the chassis and eventually killed the rack and n/s shaft was starting to rub too but at least you can lift it to your normal driving height.

Really like how it looks and it's super clean

Cheers Dan.

Its not super clean by any stretch of the imagination. As you well know, for some reason black looks really well in photos but in reality its aweful. Swirl marks and scratches everywhere :(

If by any slim chance I get it finished this Week I'll be at Ellescar so You'll see what I mean

[dsmithmobile]

Yes black looks great when it's all cleaned up

Mine in the early days used to look great after a machine polish but then I'd just neglect it as I always do lol

Hope you get to pop down to elsecar and if you see me come and say hello and hopefully I'll get to see your car

[niceyellow vrs]

Just looks broken and useless, but if you like it, crack on

[Paul thornton]

Me too

I've had loads of wheels on this car over the years, audi rs4 reps , rs6 reps old and new, several differant TT wheels, porsche twists, just to name a few.

In the end I wanted an oe wheel in 18 inch and the 5x100 stud pattern doesn't leave you with many options...

Decided on these as I've never seen another Octavia on them. Took me ages to track a set down as they are quite rare and I ended up paying a fortune as they had just been refurbished!

When the car / wheels are clean they actually look quite good
