Now thats an agressive looking machine. Love the extremes on it. Bet you are getting a lot of attention out on the road. Your car reminds me of the Skoda tv advert..

Stay safe.

Got a chance to snap few more pics of my new Black Edition. Hop you guys like it...

Does the black edition have LED rear lights?

Can't decide to go black or white, they both look great!

Anyone had paint issues?

Great forum guys

I do like those wheels...

Clearly lowered, and looks like improved track width on the wheels!

 

Which springs did you opt for, and what's the 'J' (width) and offset on your wheels?

 

Oh… and looks absolutely excellent

Wheels are 8,5x19. Offset is front 45 and rear 35 and the H&R monotube coilovers

Sweet! You wouldn't happen to have any pictures from the side of the car so it is easier to spot how far out the wheels sit?

 

I'm calculating 28.5 mm back, and 18.5 mm front closer to the arch compared to standard Gemini wheels.

Yup... you're pretty much bang on there!

Back is going to be +16mm on the offset (51-35=16) plus 12.7mm on the rim (8.5J-7.5J=25.4/2=12.71), total 28.7mm

Front is going to be +6mm on the offset (51-45=6) plus 12.7mm on the rim again, total 18.7mm.

Nicely done!

I'm running 18x8.5 ET42's on H&R 28833-2 springs, so more power to you for the ET35's on the back which is I think just about on the limit.

 

 

What's the handling/ride like on the coilovers (aside of the fact you're on 35R19's, and I presume looking at the tyre stretch which is similar to my own, 225 tyres)? I'm relatively happy with my springs at the moment but I'm concerned about their true compatibility and longevity with the standard shock absorbers, so the coilovers are being considered as a 'Christmas' present to myself.

Also thinking about the Rieger 79013/14 side skirts which I think are very discrete... did you consider these?

Front on pic of that insert!!! And maybe a closer up one to see material...

How much was it and easy to install? Does it match any part of the car? Black pack grill? It's a gloss black yeh?

[Davey007]

No mate mines is the Diesel. All I can say is you won't be disappointed = Car is awesome!

 

Here's a few more pics for ya to enjoy:

Thank you so much! Can't wait. I have the delivery week 40 now and I ordered it in moon white and petrol, but I bet there will not be a noticable difference on a photo. So, I have a new wallpaper now.

When you installed H&R springs to your car, did you also adjusted a cruise control? My dealer told that it needs to be done??!!?
