Would have never thought audi would go back to 5x100 with these, cant wait to see a new set of those mounted up. Going to look great.

Couldn't agree more!

I see all your updates, and love all of them!
But you're on StanceWorks, and your car is not a BMW E30 or something like that, so nobody participates here. Sad, but true.

Greetings from Portugal, and keep up with the good work

It is true. Sad but true. Never mind though

Greeting from Athens, Greece

Removed some OEM stripes



Took the golf out for a spin



And then saw old photos of my other Audi, and though hmmm nice wheels



So I thought let's make a fitment test



Out with the oem one



Threw them on for good measurement











I love it



Now as for the test-fitment.
These wheels are 9,5x18 ET38 . I could not bolt them down to put car to the ground due to 5x112 vs 5x100 different bolt pattern.
Thing is, that in order to have the concave I need to go for the same sizes again.

BUT, the wheel, on the inner side, does not clear the shock absorber, nor the caliper.
So I guess if I am to go for it, I might have to go with a 5mm spacer in order to make it work.
And then, surely go for a fender roller in order to pull fenders properly. I dont mind the car being new, I want it to make happen, and I believe I can

Any feedback, welcome as always

Cheers

Mike

So, I dont recall if I had told you about it, but I kinda ordered a new front grill for my AUD1ESEL project. An aftermarket "RS1" grill in gloss black from Germany, which arrived some days before.



Definitely not cheap, but quality was super good to be honest.

Lost no time, and decided to go for it on my own, after work



Bumper came off, dont mind the headlight, i thought it needed to be removed, whereas it didnt. Although there is a DIY online, I wanted to go for it on my own, weird right



Sit back and enjoy



Two grilles side by side - and the usual aftermath of garage work, lol



OEM grille removed



New Grille on



Thought the Oem crashbar would look ugly in silver behind the grille, so I removed it. Dont worry just to paint it.



Done





ReInstalled



Installed everything back on - minus the Audi rings which were smaller in the A1 and did not fit



I then got a new Audi badge from dealership, which is slightly bigger, and comes from the A6-A7-A8-RS6-RS7 etc.



It was then ready





The grille also had the mounting thing for the license plate - but look at it



So I thought I'd make a vinyl plate, to go right here



So I did





Looks really good now, and legal-ish LoL



Sorry for the iphone pics - but I didnt have my camera with me at the time

Cheers

As for wheels,

I cannot make a decision if i will go with 18 or stay 17 inch to be honest

if 17, it will be 9x17 stretched on my 215/45/17
If 18, it will propably be 9,5x18 ET38 or 8,5x18 ET30 on 215/35/18.

Really cant make up my mind. LoL

I received a box



Inside it had . . . this





Removed this





Comparison





Installed





Now to fit a new exhaust setup in that gap. Hehe

Dat R8 doe . . .

Cheers

[mgpdoc]

Hehehe, yeah. Actually a guy that helped me on installing these was indeed french,
And he was tellin us that these are now banned in France. Go figure

[Nagah]

French mode: On!

[mgpdoc]

Then this happened



Aha there it is



Testing



50:50



Let's go 100%



All done



Next to the general



All done





Lights off



And on



I totally fell in love with how it came out

Cheers more to come

[mgpdoc]

So here is a big update for the little AUD1ESEL

Came to the garage one day to find one seat missing . . .



Then this happened



Out of nowhere





Dont worry, I was just checking something



Hmmmm



LoL on the Golf



Then changed back everything the way it was

Next to this, i still prefer mine





Then, let's move to the interior

I like how these climate controls look



This does not suit them



New boxes from stealership



Yummy parts









Let's remove the stock one





Out



in it went



porn





Tools needed





Turned out great





More to come, to bring you up to date

Cheers

To be honest, I have always wanted to put that wheel in one of the cars that I have owned so far.
Same with the A1. But I think that it is a style that will very fast be boring for me.
What is more, I simply cannot justify the money Rotiform asks for their wheels nowadays.
If I am to spend that money, and most of the times I do, i prefer other companies, like OZ, like BBS etc

Dont get me wrong, I like Roti designs, but to me they are nowhere near Rays, OZ, BBS, Adv1 so as to ask for the money they ask.

[enes_ca]

Rotiform VCE would be something in that look you're after
