Always had a fair idea of the route i was going to take (euro),but funds restricted me from getting the rims i wanted.LCRS,lamin-x front lights and fogs,debadging,de-wipering and c/c grill soon followed the weitec coilies...

After finally getting sick of the standard rims,i decided i needed some cheap rims to keep me happy until i was able to afford the rimmage i wanted.Saw these on a local forum,in poor shape.So snapped them up and got them polished!Also fitted 20mm spacers to the rear...stance anyone?

Out of total chance one day when getting the car aligined,spotted these gathering dust in a corner.All brand new,garage had ordered them and the guy never came back to collect them,they had been lying there for a couple of years.

Image


5X130 to 5X100 30mm (rear) and 25mm (front) H&R adapters were purchased,and against the 52 offset gave a nice spacing of 10 and 5 mm against the comps.Also changed the laminx to dark again,but kept the yellow fogs...

Love the wee car,and they are uber-rare here,so it gets a huge amount of attention!I know some of the mods are a little random and not to everyones taste,but i have plans in my head of what the car will look like,so until i can afford that,ill just keep messing around with different looks!

All C&C welcome!

Welcome to VAGdrivers. I seen the car at Castlewellan and thought it looked the business, but the Porsche rims look 10 times better!! I would have kept the lights yellow, but overall the car is class and a nice spec too!

Welcome Conor
I too saw this at CastleW. at first didnt like it but it grew on me by the end of the day, only my opinon but the TT's and the lights smoked would be the way I would keep it, I think it looks great like that.
I will watch this space as I am sure you will push the envelope again.

Cheers all!

Yeah i won the skoda section at CW,but tbh it was the only real modified skoda there,so it wasnt much of a victory!I know it wasnt to all tastes,but i like provoking a reaction!lol id rather have 5 people hate it and 5 people love it than 10 people who dont see fit to look at it at all!
