    Hmmmm do not tempt me.
    I am trying to keep this stock, LoL.

    Are these bolt-ons ? They do seem like it to be honest.
    The cooler would be nice behind that mask that I installed, hehe

    Yeah, I would too, not sure the suspension can go any lower than that.
    I will try to go after the wheel installation, hehe

    Thank you

      So. Some more news.

      Ordered these from Rota Wheels UK, that hooked me up with an awesome deal



      in Flat Black 9,5x18 5x100 Et38

      Will try to run them with some 225.40.18s, and see where we go from there.

      Also ordered these





      Oh my dear fenders, we are gonna have a great time, LoL

      Cheers

        Yes sir specially developed for the 1.6 tdi
        You need an ECU tune to be able to run the turbo etc.

        It's a stage 3 tuningkit will get you around 175bhp and 365Nm torque.

                So, proper update then

                Received some boxes



                Familiar content inside





                Then this







                two sets of 5mm spacers to make room for calipers, and the shock absorber. Or so I thought.



                Used some P zero's 225.40.18 from my Golf



                Then, it was time to test fit the wheels onto the car



                First I used one 5mm spacer, no bueno. Thought of combining two spacers, still, no bueno. The clearance we wanted, came in three of them in a row, thus meaning I needed a 15mm spacer. The wheel was already very wide to begin with, and I already knew fenders would have to be pulled.

                Made some custom spacers then



                Amazing quality and fitment



                It was very tight







                At the back it was much better



                Then fenders were pulled, no cracks on the car colour with the fender roller, and things got much better. Here is how it looked afterwards







                Went out for a proper ride, but rubbing was huge on the front on the arches, so I knew 225.40.18 would not work

                So, sadly I knew what I had to do. Order some 215.35.18 rubber, and go from there. So I did, and lowered the car some more.

                215 on a 9,5

















                Cheers more to come

                  Jokes aside, that little car is looking really great, I like all of these OEM upgrades.

                  Also, love the new wheels!
