Or tuck them like a fucking boss, ahaha

im trying to find the bora/jetta that rocked them a few years back, think it was at worthersee

got a pair of 20s sitting in the back yard, really want to put them on the front but cant buy a tyre small enough to get them on (215/25/20 or something similar) so might rock them on teh back and put 16" steelies on the front for the skids

[dylan8]

going wider again hawk?

[USDMem1]

...

Whats going on here? You re-doing it all?

I have no idea how you would go about doing a job like that, but that looks weird. Don't like the hammer sitting on the trunk lid either :/

[Beware]

Cracks in the joins?

[PhilTho]

Perfect



20x8 +35, would buy and space out.

This is a thing of beauty

Ballarat's boganness is contagious guys, avoid if you can

[Lukey]

u bolts still hit the chassis rails and the tailshaft hits a chassis cross brace

[hakhawk]

yep, panel beater used sikaflex *facepalm* half of it didnt stick to the unprepped fenders, and ended up with cracks all through the joins

all 4 fenders came off, have been put back on with panelbond, and started fibreglassing it all in.

hammer on bootlid doesnt matter the spoiler was sika'd on too, so its being redone aswell.

pretty much whole car is getting resprayed again.

this time the fenders are a bit closer into the car, more evenly spaced side to side(lhr was out like 15mm too far), smoother transitions from original panel to fender(used to have a noticable edge) and the way hes done it should be good for a very long time

and the cars gonna have half the amount of bog in it this time


definitely a kick to the guts, but my mate is sorting it out, and hes smashing through it.

What a head fuck.

At least it's getting done proper now.

Fuckkkk, I need to do it man. Would have to run some serious rubber bands.

But idea is similar to mine, tucking in the rear and stockies up front for some fwd skids!

Is this second attempt at the job coming out of your pocket? Or is the original place re-doing it?

What a pain in the ass...

shop owner is being a prick about it after saying "we'll fix it"

essentially, my mate has forked out for supplies, and labour on his own time(luckily the place its at now is cool with him working on it after hours), im paying for any replacement bits that need to go back on, and itll get painted at the shop.

absolute bs but its not worth trying to run them through legal channels and dragging it out.

i need to car back so i can start organising the move to qld

[andrewn]

got given really strong pain killers on a saturday night, ended up buying one of these the next morning...

[danielsahhhn]

nailed it
