Good result Leon - finish looks good

I won't mention the thing about it needing to be nearer the ground though, oh no!

ahahha! quiet with the closer to the ground comment you! :p

Thanks lets see how long they last nice...!

I like those wheels. for trying something a little different.

Estates are ACE

Cheers Matthew!

I love estates!! I don't think I'd go back to a hatch, and they have a slightly higher top speed lol..maybe not mine but the vRS's and faster ones do haha!!

At the moment its too early to start choosing suspension mods... I'm not sure

I thinking just springs and shocks, rear arb, but for now things are on hold!

i think you likely to be going lower than me,i just want 20-30mm so just deciding spring or springs and shocks.

looks good matey, For an idea of a drop - the pics of my old Furby with the kit on are post lowering (with -30 Eibach springs and stock dampers). Ends up actually sitting about 10-15 mm lower than a stock vRS but even so it still looked like it was riding pretty high!

Sorry for pic whoring but I like to see my old car now and again (wish I could get it back TBH!)

Although if you want high - try this, this is how high my stock Polo Estate runs on 14" wheels.

Love the colour of your red/burgunday estate

Good job!

Is it rosso Bruno or something? Looks great though why did you get rid of it? :(

Looked good that Ross. Good colour combo between that and the wheels too. Nice ride height as well

Yes it is. Stock white vRS wheels and bits of the kit coded to match.

Probably one of the best (and last) photos I have of it. Was taken in Herne Bay in Kent.

It went because it has a few brake issues and the dealer farted about (they have now lost the franchise!) and me being stupid and short tempered made them take it back. Wish I hadnt and I could get it back now.

It probably living around the Harlow way somewhere (EX60 NZT if anyone sees it). Just wish I knew a way to get the bloody thing back!

Got these through the post today

Photos of them fitted! I recon their pretty cool!

excuse the dirty wheels!

Thanks,

Leon

they look neon, how long before some scrote nicks them though lol

Lol.... I'm not sure... I should of thought about that.... their still on the car at the moment haha...

They are the same green as the badges!

I had chrome dice, they lasted well over a year on my old mk1 1.2 Skoda Fabia Classic but as soon as I got my new mk2 vRS they were gone within a month.

Looks great though!

Cheers buddy!

lol.... I'm lucky to be able to park behind the main road, so fingers crossed!!! I'll make sure I order a back up set for future use!

imho it really spoils your hard work :(

can u show us what the wheels look like on an estate

edit: just seen it on another thread, it looks good, look more like after market wheels.

Edited 3 February, 201214 yr by fabia55

I still wanted it to look OEM, but with a twist I think they look great in the metal

Just seen this thread Leon, respect your wheels look amazing, just a thought, maybe paint your side rubbing strips to match your spokes :yes:

The car looks amazing and the wheels seal the deal

Trouble would be trying to take the stips off, not sure how easy it would be?
