    £70? saving on VED over three years of having the car ^^^ Are you having me on? 3 years? You change your car more often than I change my pants - but that's a different subject

Edited for you :)

 

I will get some clean pictures tomorrow - very impressed though. Ride is just like standard, maybe a bit firmer.

 

Just awaiting adaptors for these wheels now so it can look like  a mini vRS :D

Are those the 17" Camelots?

 

I ordered mine with the Camelots, but they swapped them out for winter wheels before I picked my Rapid up from the showroom.

 

The unused alloys are now stuck in the loft until April  :|

They are indeed, lovely wheels - my new ones are nicer though :)

The car looks like it has been lowered?

Looks nice, can't wait until April.

Yes recently lowered it on eibach springs. Amazing difference in looks and handling.

Nice looking Rapid fella :)

I'm considering lowering mine on Eibachs. They sit so high as standard.

How's the ride now since lowering?

  • Author

Thanks :)

Ride is actually very good - nice and smooth, just a tad firmer.

Obviously avoid potholes even more!

So its lowered, where's the finishing touch, you've had them for ages now and their not on yet! :p

They don't fit - tyres too big!

Got to get some 215/35/18's.

I tried to nudge Adam towards the O.Z's that are sitting in the workshop

I've got the perfect cure, ready and waiting to go  :p

Means I'd have to buy another set of wheels though :)

Adrenalinas  :happy:

I want those tyres not the wheels ;)

Spoiler turned up :)

Wheels don't fit :(

Apologies for the double post,posting from my phone. Fotos that follow: vinyl taping the foglights as fake drls, on, off and an unlucky passenger i picked up on the trip today. I will probably try some more options in the next days. Medium happy with the result right now, even though the pics dont do justice, because the light makes the vinyl strip look very slim in the cameras lens

Looks good Ad. Although it is a very minor detail it just finishes the car off  :thumbup:
