I move into my house on wednesday! but this is how it looks when i try and get to the garages at the back of the house at standard height:
Suppose i could do it, but then never be able to get to my garage! what do we think? and don't say air ride lol.

You could use planks etc? Or do you mean everyday?

You had the bumpstrips CCed Chris?!
Yeh the only other option would be planks of some sort that you keep in the garage to aid the car over. Would be absolute hassl, but you can't cramp a spot on stance

Yeah for everyday use...planks in the car would be a pain! i'll see how things go.
Yeah had the bumpers CCed for about a month now, i quite like it. Got them done for free by a mate though so nothing spared

Yeah they're alright but they look quite small when i've been used to 16s lol. Only rubbed down 2 of my alloys so far, hard to find the effort!

Yeh they're a tad small for a Cupra but they still look cool. What you going for with the refurb?

take a heavy duty grinder to the ground i say!!! air ride is just overkill, but might be the logical/feasible way to get round it...

Tim: I'm going for a simple light grey colour...easy for everyday use and should compliment the smoked lights etc. Not a big fan of black wheels!
randomage: Would be nice to sort the ground out, but it's a block of garages so i would have plenty of angry people at me if i did that one day haha.

Sweet should look good mate! although black with some sort of red lip/detailing would look great

Possibly! Red detailing could look quite cool i'd imagine! My alloys needed a good refurb anyways, when i got the car they had a few kerb marks and some brake dust had eaten it's way into the wheel on the inside of the spokes. All the kerb marks have gone now and looking good and ready!

Get on to the council and get them to sort it out, I got them to lower the curb so I could get onto my drive and it only cost £150
