get rid of them if you are lowering it aslow or lower than mine as they rub on corners when there is people in the car and are just a genral annoyance and it detracts from teh smooth lines.

i cant lower the rear any more than it is as i have run out of threads on my coilovers.

i need to roll the rear arches as the ofset of the wheel is et20 so they stick out slightly. meaning that the seccond i have people in teh back of the car the tyre will be on the arches. and will rip the tread off it. and will ruuin the bodywork( induce rust) and shred the tyres. and flaird arches look cool aswell. and i have a mate who has a arch roller.

yo, i think the wheels look mental! and when they are all on, and de bumped, your rides gone be sweet. i quite like the mud flaps acctually, took mine off, but now want them on again, looking for some meaner looking ones tho.
your looking sweet, keep us posted.

just a few pics of other cars with CUPs on to show you the kind of effect i want.

i think i should have gone for 165 tyres as the stretch isnt as big as i wanted oh well.

the red one is my fave.

there was also some one on clubpolo that has a white mk4 with cups on with black centers and polished dish and lip. they looked cool

have you got a pic of your car up on here. cos id like to see.

have you had 16valve bumpers put on your car then as IIRC you have a 1L 8v with a cherry bomb exhaust.
