Cheers guys :D .

Just a little update

Just a trial fit though to see how the fit.
The car was still jacked up when the photo was taken so ignore the arch gap, it wont be that bad + ive got shorter springs coming my way on wednesday.
Might need slight camber on the back aswel. But when its dropped the wheels should (hopefully) tuk themselves in a little anway.

Got my ibiza cupra bushes aswel, just waiting to get them fitted.

the car should be getting washed soon haha :roll:

The wheels are standard ET 34. My adaptors are 25mm so the ET was 9 when fitted.

I bought the adaptors being told they were 15mm. Turned out they were 25mm :roll:

Im getting shims fitted soon with -1.5 camber but 100% sure if thats enough.

edited - new ET calculated

How wide are the wheels? My 7.5" wide ones would stick out with any less than 30 offset.

They are 16x8s with a 194/40 tyre :wink: . I dunno whether to go through and get shims fitted and see what they will like if the wheels are for sale. I do want to run them next year but the money i've been offered for them would help alot towards engine funds.

Polo is long gone haha. Wanted something that had a bit of power, 1.2 wasnt cutting it

On the bumpers or the doors?

The bumpers were plastic welded.

When you take the doorstrips off they are attached with pins so youll have to get them welded up.

Last photos before it got sold
