That works well. Glad you're not having issues running 235s too

definitely didn't want 225's on the vRS with 8.5 wide wheels!

I'm hoping to be on 215s on 9.5J soon. Well, I'm figuring it out - might end up being 215 on the 8.5 fronts and 225 on the 9.5 rears.

Your ride height is a totally different ball game to mine though!!

^^ They don't look half bad :p

Do it!

Hi Stamsaas, I have another question. Did you get the badgeless honeycomb front grill from Superskoda? Is there a cut-out at the honeycomb grill for the bonnet release catch for you to release the bonnet? If there isn't any cut-out, how do you access the bonnet release catch? Thanks in advance

He did get it from there and you have to cut it for access , not a good solution , some people cut the handle of the bonnet release for less off a whole :think:

As said, the grill is from superskoda i have just cut of the handle on the release, it very easy to open the bonnet, just stickthe hand under the grill and release it. You dont open the bonnet every day do you?

Superskoda have just released an updated version of the grille with a cut out in the design so no modification is required.

Hi, thanks for the update. I'm asking as I was thinking if I should get it. Like what Harry mentioned, they had introduced a new version where there is a cut out for the handle. But I prefer the older version which looks better

Not much new stuff posted on here recently.. so I pulled out a few from my flickr favorites:

Is it wrong that I kind of like that?

not at all,a very menacing look

Stickers and the grille are gash IMO but the height, wheels, mirrors look great.

Begging for some camber on the rear though. Grille reminds me of a Crown Vic.

I love the US ( I think) look with the orange lights as side lights!

They should of bought the rs+ bumper lip though, can't help think that it looks a little droopy at the ends, and drop the grill.

Or Chick Hicks?

haha now you mention it it does remind me of a moustache,the only thoughts i had were the rear wheels need a bit of poke and it sits too high

Put this pic here also to keep the tread alive
