Wheels/Chassis BMW E21 13x7j bbs wheels. black centres with silver lips, budget tyres. also in process of painting a set of 6spoke BBS Solitude wheels black, to be fitted with avon or uniroyal tyres(from matty). lowered 40mm using spax springs, coilovers to be ordered 25th march. Standard 239mm brakes. on hunt for g60 caliper carriers to upgrade brakes to 280mm.







As you can see the car looks 'euro-ish' at the minute, but to quite honest im sick of 'euro'. Hence the new wheels, and been a motorsport technology student, im jumping on the 'track' look bandwagen.

i will keep this upto date as and when the mods happen. Hope you like. Thanks for havin a butchers.

hmm looks nice but wheels are waaay to small

got some 15's which im painting at the minute mate!



they are gettin twat-can'd in halfords finest gloss black!

they wil look loads better mate

yeah sure will cheers mate.

im thinkin of doing a thin red line around the whole wheel, probably with rim tape or similar.

The pics are good of your car, i wonder who took them

Car looks nice, get it tracked up and on some track days!

yep, fun is not a straight line. (unless its actually a proper drag car

I want my Polo back !!!

Looking good mate

dude, are you selling the old wheels?

how much?

PM me

also, looking good mate

Jesus thought you were dead mate! you dont happen to have anything from your polo knocking about do ya? never know something may be usefull to me!

afraid ash is having them mate for his mk2! i could have sold them 10times over already if ash didnt want them!

UPDATE:

finally bit the bullet and started addressing some rust issues today, so next time you see it about 30% of the car will be in bloody primer!

today i have rust treated the drivers side rear arch, and treated a patch on my sideskirt!

big decision now:

save up like mad, get the car painted around the end of the show season,

or

blow my last installment of my student loan and get it done in time for nationals, but not be able to afford coilovers, and exhasut system.

BLOW THE LOAN

Thats what its for

isint it cool to have half primer on a VW

nah !

he needs to blow the loan on his coilovers , tyres, manifold, exhaust

and then save up for a re-spray !!

if thats the shit style you like then........ yea !
