I bought a 1997 polo for my first car and it has 15 inch alloy wheels on it, but I dont know if one of the flaps is broken, or whether there is a rubbing issue... its only when i turn left so is there anything I can do to resolve it =/ I've not driven it properly yet, cause I've only just passed... so help... please ? =]
Thanks very much =]
I'll post some pictures when I can
x x
no it hasnt been lowered... i dont know what the tyre size is, all i know is they are 15 inch alloys... it doesnt pull left, it just rubs on the front flap when i turn left. just wondering if its easy enough to just take them off??
yeah i do mean mudflap, but i'm not driving the car at the moment... and its not being kept on my property =/ so its not like i can go outside and have a look lol.
i just want to take them off, i think it would be easier =/
TAKE THEM OFF! they look s**t!
just take the wheels off one by one then just unsrew the 4-5 t20 torque screws and off they come!
Paint ur calipers while u got the wheels off
haha. i got my daddy to take them off for me cause im special =/ lol.
we found out what the problem was though. or my dad rather.
basically, the inner plastic arch bit (sorry im a woman i dont know what these things are called) was on the outside of the mudflap rather than inside. but it was outside cause it was broken. so we took both off both sides and now no rubbing!
and you dont need to take the wheels off, just put full lock on the appropriate way! =]
i may paint my calipers later if i can be bothered =/
i need a new tyre and new valve now. its crap haha.
Not sure on a new valve, but looks like you're in derby...go to 'derby tyres' or 'inner ring tyres' cause they seem to do good prices and are quite friendly!
