POD - The Lovable GTi - Rims Finished...

[red6n2]

What size spacers did you go for ?.
hubcentric ?.

[KPerryGTi]

25 all round... should look the part when the coilovers are fitted witch ups say should be delivered today...

[6N2 GTI 00]

25mm is pretty extreme, especially for the front but it should give you a nice stance when you fit the coilovers
I would avoid going too low though otherwise its going to scrub like mad

[KPerryGTi]

yeah going to have to keep it relatively sensible as I use this car for my deliveries lol

[red6n2]

Fookin eck 25mm is a lot. I'm thinking to stagger mine but it will be something more like 10 rear 15 at a push and 5 front all my arches are rolled but not flared.

[6N2 GTI 00]

Yeah if your running the standard 15" BBS rims then its not too bad because they are only 6J so you can just about get away with 25mm spacers.

15mm would have been a better choice for the front though

[KPerryGTi]

well im not going low low just enough to get rid of the horrid gap between the wheel and the arch, should still be enough room for the wheels to turn freely and I think the stance on the front end is mad lol

[Ashcroft]

Looking good 25 is good choice but don't go too low else you'll defo scrub going thru dips! I've got 15mm all round and they scrub a bit when go through dips but no scrubbing when turnin tho

[Verity]

Cars looking great! spacers have made a massive differnce!

[KPerryGTi]

Cheers guys! Coilovers going on tomoz... also removing PVW sticker on the front and the colin mcrae and dc stickers try and class it up a bit lol also sorting out the gti badge on the front u might notice it just says GT lol!

[KPerryGTi]

Well I on Thursday I was going to do my coilovers... only to find that my locking wheel nut key had gone missing! So instead I had to spend the time sorting that out and then didn't have time... so did them today







Didn't take many pictures as I kinda just wanted to get on with it lol! took me a few hours and it's a bit to low on the front but that can be sorted tomorrow! to late now haha anyway here is how it stands... bit dark though...



also the other day I removed the PVW sticker from the bonnet, the colin mcrae sticker and DC sticker from the back and placed this on the window



Will take more pics tomoz after the custom exhaust has gone on

[6N2 GTI 00]

Looks good from the side mate, looks like a nice tidy ride height

Be nice to see some pictures from the front & back with those spacers fitted though

[KPerryGTi]

Yeah man I love it, its in the garage at the moment getting raised a little cus its rubbing like mad and get tracking and custom exhaust, so will be some nice pics later if everything goes to plan!

[6N2 GTI 00]

Yeah mate always best to get the car 4 wheel laser aligned after fitting coilovers, the tracking goes out for fun due to the harsh ride too.

Custom exhaust is deffo the best option for the GTI
Most aftermarket exhaust manufacturers have stopped making systems for the GTI now due to its age and demand so a custom system is the best choice

[KPerryGTi]

So took Pod to the garage today to sort the tracking out and get my exhaust done... may not be to many of your liking but I think its smart and sounds amazing! lol gave a REALLY quick go over with a sponge and went for a photo shoot... here you go, let me know what you think Excuse the paint work getting it sorted in the near future LOL!
