BAKER21's SUPERB ON 19" ASA AR1's WITH TINTS!!

[Baker21]

Well it's been a while since I posted up the thread where I showed you my purchase of the ASA AR1's so here is the next installment.

They have spent the last 3 months in my spare room waiting for some rubber, got the rubber on last week and last night I got the wheels on the car.......so here are some quickly taken pictures at work:

To pre-empt any questions they are 19" ASA AR1's (front 8.5J and the rears 9.5J) wrapped in 235/35/R19 Kumho's lowered on KW Variant 1 Supsension.

I am now ready for the shows and with my bra (hate it or love it) I am looking forward to people saying, 'Is that really a Skoda'?

What do you think? Honestly? Good or bad comments welcome!!

one word... WOW!!

Looks brilliant :thumbup:

that looks great, subtle but effective!

There's me thinking I had the best looking Superb on this site, then you come along with your new 19's!

Might have to get some Lexus lights on mine to stand out more..............Only kidding.

Looking mint now Baker. Any trouble with the rear spacers on?? If not, can you PM the prices for the same as you've got with the longer bolts too. I did find some 6mm spacers pretty cheap, but not sure if I'd get away with oem bolts???

Thanks mate, makes all the money spent and the time taken a little easier to swallow with 'good'd comments!!

Thanks mate, I was trying to go for the 'Euro' look and I think that I have achieved it with the wheels but I think smooth bumpers would finish it perfectly!!

Best looking Superb on the forum? Now come on mate, you know my opinion on that, yours is a much better spec than mine and I so wished that mine was black, I love yours mate!!!

As for the Lexus light's I am glad that you don't have any on the car, otherwise I wouldn't be helping you with this spacer issue!!

Talking of spacers, I don't have any on the car now, not with the 9.5J wheels on the back!! Not bad hey? I will have a word with my contact and see what price the 5mm spacers are and get back to you asap, I don't think you will need longer wheel bolts if you are only getting 5mm or 6mm spacers but I will check.

Watch this space!!

LOL, my work mate suggested that I could potentially 'Eat up' any smaller cars on the road!!

[KABOOM]

Looks fantastic mate and really glad you've taken the nuzzle bag off the front too.

Thats how a car should look IMO

Nuzzle bag? LOL!!! Haven't heard it called that before!!

It will be back on at some stage but today, I am 'Bra-less' LOL!!!

Thanks for the comment mate.

[KABOOM]

Well it reminds me of the nuzzle bags that you give to horses to feed from !

Looks good - especially now its topless!

[Shifty]

Looks fantastic mate

[TaviaRS]

Looks very good, even better without the boob tube

I really don't like them, having spent time in the states where every other car had one.

[Swirly182]

Love it

Absolutely Stunning transformation. Its a shame its the same colour as our Superb, If Wendy sees this I can see suggestions being made to get her car looking like it.

Have you thought of colour coding the black strips down the side, I thought it would look better but cant convince myself.

I had a Bora before this and it had colour coded bump strips and it looked great, on the Superb I am not too sure. If I was going to do something like you suggest then I would rather remove the bump strips on the doors and the bumpers and get everything smoothed for that final 'Euro' look!!

One lesson Ive learnt, I colour coded the bump strips on the Octy & when I had a slight indiscretion with a parking bollard the bump strip still took most of the damage although obviously it was back to black in places, without it I would probably be lookin at a much bigger repair bill, as it is a sticker will do for the time being so the bump strips do still have a purpose.

[fluffy01016]

What was the offset on the new rims?? Even without the spacers on, it still looks wider at the back. I know you've ot 9.5j on the back but still wider stance than I'd expect.

[dsmithmobile]

Must say it looks superb:rofl:

[Leon-y-k]

very nice mate:cool:

[Jonny5ive]

should we now address you as "The Don Baker"

[mdk1]

Looks good, How long does it take to clean the wheels?

[walkie]

Spot on, looks brilliant
