My Rapid Sport project - MY15 in white

[turboman6680]

In my impatience to get my wheels and other bits delivered and to get going, I had to fit the obligatory 'adhesive fixing'. Will look even better with the splitter :-)

[turboman6680]

Got the wheels on tonight but might go down the route of having 215/40 tyres instead of the 225/45 that came with the wheels. Need to see the car in daylight but may be TOO meaty.

[turboman6680]

Getting these swapped over as I write. Arch rubbing on the rear and they do look just a bit too meaty. Now hoping that the opposite isn't that they look too stretched!

[turboman6680]

They look all good :-)

How you managing to get rubbing? Im on 215 40 tyres but im 30mm more lower than you and i have zero problems

[turboman6680]

No rubbing now that I'm on the 215/40 tyres. Looking brilliant too. Tomorrow I shall be washing the car fully so will take pics then.

[turboman6680]

Fully cleaned the Rapid today. Looking awesome. Until I plastidip the grille, it actually goes with the wheels.

Having issues uploading pictures - anybody else having issues?

Your rims arn t as wide as his.

You ve got 3sizes on a rim. His is 7.5width*17diameter Et 32 axel 'width'.

Yours will probable be around 7.5 or 7*17 and a higher Et 35 to 47.

And with the old tires 225/45 that was way to big for a Rapid.

turboman6680, i want pics.

Try tinypics, i read that site is ok. All my pics are gone, imageshack is a paying service now... after more than 10year free service... :-/

[turboman6680]

Has this worked I wonder?!

[turboman6680]

Ah yes, seems to have worked perfectly. Thanks for your help :-)

[Copey]

Im not 100% on the wheels. Keep staring at it haha. Looks good though

[RiderXXL]

Clean!!!! :-)

Maybe a black roof?

[turboman6680]

Very clean.  Yup, after being treated to some Superskoda parts that are due in around a week, next on the list will be black roof wrap.

[RiderXXL]

Nice! I ve got somethibg of superskoda deliverd too, but wil have to fibd the time ;-) to install it.

[turboman6680]

Taking a trip to see the exhaust fabricator tomorrow to go through a few ideas with him. Also been in discussion with a very well thought of vinyl wrapper to do a few bits n bobs. Last week he did a full body wrap on a Veyron Supersport so I think he'll be ok with the Rapid! Lol

Watch this space!

[Copey]

Slow dowwwwwnnnnn!!! Carnt get too far ahead of me :(

[turboman6680]

Lol. Won't all happen overnight - no panic!

Im waiting for emmisions rubbish to finish so i can go further with mine.

[turboman6680]

So spoke to the exhaust man (as he shall be known - partly because I can't remember his name!) and we've decided on -

Rear section replacement with smaller silencer and a very OE tailpipe. Think Golf GTD.

As for the wrap, gloss black roof, Renault 80's yellow fogs and a nice www extra too! ;-)

[turboman6680]

A nice 'wee' extra that should read!

Also he's able to do Revo stage 1 with 20% off making it very comparable to a tuning box. Reputed 145bhp afterwards.

Superskoda delivery imminent also!

[turboman6680]

Excellent condition Ray wheels for sale too - have a look in classifieds!
