Nasty chunk out of your tyre there :S looking good though, comes up well after a polish, i wish my paint was as good lol. i got the same coils on my polo, supprisingly comfy, allthough the rebound is a bit mad, not crashy and harsh like other budgets ive had.

Ah that tyre got thrown away ages ago ha! Yeah that's the second time I've polished it since I got it. Yeah I know what you mean it's comfy but the wrong bump will send you bouncing all around the place

Old one off and if you look carefully you can see a sharp dent in the crash barrier lol. Probably a Bollard or something :/

Another update.. Now have the Audi A3 Pepper Pot alloys on my Polo. Got 10mm 4x100 to 5x100 hub adapters.. Bigger offset alloys compared to the BBS RXII that im selling by the way and some BBS Solitubes both 15". So offset and adapters widened it about 17mm each side so no poke but it sits nicely and flush with the arches. might need to widen them got some serious scrub going on. Heres some pics
The Adapters going on

Yeah5x100

Done!!

That's looking awesome with the pepperpots on bud! Have you considered stretched tyres? They should help stop the scrubbing without having to roll the arches etc?

Nice progress though :D

Oh... yer no point then! HAHA! That's true, I always forget pepperpots aren't that wide! :D Are you on clubpolo.co.uk? If not, definitely check it out! I always feel this forum isn't very active anymore, hence the late comment :D

Keep up the good work though dude :D
