How much pm me! What you getting please dont say ch's I might steal them off u.

There's something at the back of the passenger side rear wheel arch that sticks out. Does the wheel catch this? Also do they rub with adjuster out?

Yes adjusters out dude

As you can see if the car goes lower at the back ie with passengers it just goes higher in the arch

Funniest comment by my gf when I sent her a pic on coilies oh I thought it was going lower lol

If you compare the rear wheel arches the passenger side has like a sticky out square bit at the back of it where as the drivers is just the round wheel arch cavity, i'm not sure whether its something to do with the fuel pump? I had some seat wheels with a higher profile tyre and it rubbed. Looking at your pictures though it looks as if the more its lowered the more the wheel sits further forward?

I will have a look tomorrow to see if I can understand what you mean dude

what colour do we think the wheels should go, im torn between black, anthracite, or gold

not too sure about gold, may look a bit tacky if not done right. Though every man and his dog has black or anthracite wheels and gold would certainly be something different and stand out. may be best to photoshop up a few pics first.

PINK....

deffo go for gold would look mint with them alloys

Looks good.

Colour wise, don't go black centres - will look like everyone else who has split rims.

Try vRS brake green or blue/orange/red?

Look good with gold centres! B)

If you compare the rear wheel arches the passenger side has like a sticky out square bit at the back of it where as the drivers is just the round wheel arch cavity, i'm not sure whether its something to do with the fuel pump? I had some seat wheels with a higher profile tyre and it rubbed. Looking at your pictures though it looks as if the more its lowered the more the wheel sits further forward?

Basically he's saying it looks like the castor angle is out on the back. So the wheel sits further forward in the arch.

Tas GO FOR GOLD!!!!!!!

Soon it will be done. Is there many different variants of gold?

The tints on this car are perfect, I wish I went for medium all round instead of dark on the back windows. :( It's bugging me a lot so no doubt I'll get it re-done soon. :no:

I'm constantly on edge lol scared I'm gonna get pulled. They're only light tint on the front. But sometimes it looks dark and sometimes not
