    roll your guards mate and you will have less rubbing. that, and/or lower profile tyres, like maybe a 205/40/17. or, if you are going to buy new wheels, find some 8j or 9j wider rims and re-use your current tyres. it depends on how much you want to spend?

    nice work so far, keep modifying (and make it lower... )

        GREAT work with camera
        I find this site because of your pictures in google. I have Vectra B Sport Hatcback in Spain. good work, nice to see how our fellow citizens MAKE the cars, (dedication and details)
        Car style for me is very important so I would like to help ...
        I am convinced that the best exterior packing of this body it's Sport. it's obvious that this is not real Sport. you need to watch a lot of pictures OEM/other Sports vs "classics" and you will see what is beautiful and what you are missing, and remember gag rarely exceed original and needs many not original parts and solutions...
        lastly I will say on the case : the front end too low (probably whells too inside Height) and the front bumper should be a real Sport (for me 2nd version's), door racks in carbon/black vinyl.
        Good luck

          Thanks mate, of course i'm going to roll guards and thinking now about to buy new tyres with 205/40/17 for my 17" rims or to buy new rims 16" or 17" with 8J or 9J but it is very difficult to find "true" rims with PCD 5*110

          Nearest future i'm going to cut some coils from rear springs for more lower

          Thanks for the kind advice. Nice to find one more man who likes vectra

          Yes, I saw a lot of pics with OEM Vectra Sport and i'd like OEM front and rear bumpers second edition. But there is not Vectra Sport OEM project

          I'd like how my car looks now only one things needs - set of very good wheels.

          Today I try on very interesting rims 16" 8J APM, very cool looks and very good offset but not my PCD

            What PCD are those wheels? Try wobble nuts?

              Those wheels PCD are 5*114,3
              I suppose that wobble nuts are not help

                Jist a pair of pics from last weekend





                Next day after theses pics I've cut two coils from each rear springs. The car looks great and got more low

                P.S. Still looking for the true rims

                  Great progress.

                  I would really like to see the car with black window pillars, unfortunately the top of the door frames and the pillars seamlessly run together. Nice car none-the-less.

                    Had to see... just to make sure I wasn't crazy. Really think that this cleans up the design of the car.

                      Thanks for the pic.

                      You're not crazy =)

                      Really very intersting looks with black frames.

                        A little new pics =)

                        Thursday afternoon have been made a accident



                        Friday afternoon after a little repair, needs to paint again bumper and wing




                        And finally I fited my 17" rims with 205/45 in front and 215/45 in rear










                        I was forced to turn up edges of rear wings in order to get rid of scrubing. I think with 205/45 in rear all will be perfect.
