Bloody fantastic choice in wheels there mate. BRAID aren't cheap but they are some of the best available within Europe. Some proper motorsport homage for that JP Livery ;)

How are you finding the Braid wheels? Thinking of some for mine as I'm after something light, strong, yet able to clear the S3 brakes. What measurements are they, offset, etc?

18x8, ET42

Very smart and distinctive. I saw you passing me in the opposite direction on the A15 heading towards Lincoln several days ago.

Hey Brimma, what where the specs of your TDs 1.2 that fitted around your Brembo's, thanks

They were 18 x 8 and I ordered them at ET42 to ensure they cleared, the standard ET45 would have required spacers

Now running on these (Bilstein B14 kit) , instead of the V-Maxx, and the ride is so much better

I HATED the ride on my B14s, it just felt too busy although the handling was spectacular. Maybe the combo rides better on them as a few people with estates say they've been very happy.

The JPS has felt pretty neglected over the last 9 months or so, so a random visit to Superskoda prompted a change of lower grille

Cheers, Chris, that was with a 10-minute wash with a bit of Autoglym, so you must have done something pretty special to it to make it that easy :thumbup:

Edited by Brimma

A gold pin stripe around those side rubbing strips would finish that look off nicely in my opinion. Great theme!

Still think you should paint that bonnet catch black though.
