TROTTA'S Audi TT Quattro sport 240 thread,UPDATED!.*

Ha, i hate the look of that strap on that smooth front that deffo doesnt work!

Weird how you think thats ok and mine isnt but il try n get a different pici so it looks like iv tried insted of just snapped it quick,

If i listened to everyone on here all the cars would be the same and boring, thats why im doing what i want as its my car not any1 elses, Everyone i spoke to at players loved the lcr its a massive facelift i reckon and would suit ur black gti perfect i reckon dude.........

Very true mate, very true. I just feel that popular mods are popular for a reason, because they work.

I think it works better on the Golf because the golf has a simpler front end. It clutters up the front too much on yours, esp. with the black badge.. It may work on a smoothed plateless 6N2, with no foglights, OEM silver emblem & no GTi badge.

I've seen the splitter on a black 6N2 before, it's just too aggressive for the lines of the Polo.

[6N2 GTI 00]

The GTI is a fantastic looking car without any enhancements at the end of the day, the only negative thing on a standard GTI is the ride height.
I always think basic upgrades work the best but fair play to you trotta for trying something new & different.

I don’t think it works well with the tow strap but as long as you like it that’s all that matters.

The tow strap is a modification that is relatively easy to remove and the only thing you would need to replace is the honeycombe foglight casing to make it look normal again.

Yeah was really worth the risk i reckon and yeah like ya said im abit out there lol!

I like the whole aggresive move outa my way look and different is good for scene points good or bad cos like uv said ya havent seen it done before and it may be liked by others,

Think i might be needing a sub tho like a tint 8 inch for some punch, i was thinking near the rear light inbetween the rear suspension mounts?


Think it can be done?

[Tim_GTi]

Haris' old sub

[Trottagti]

Well iv dug deep and have purchased a set of Alulines, these ones............



7j, et is in need of spacing abit i think as its et42 but 15inch


Think they'l need some spacing guys??????????????

[Si_GTi]

I'd imagine you will want some small spacers, yeah. Nice wheels though!

The standard BBS rims are 6J wide and ET45. My front pair of Borbets are 7J wide and ET35, which is pretty much spot on for me. Spacers are pretty common in 5mm and 10mm sizes, so if you pop a set of 5mm spacers on the front then the ET will be reduced to ET37. You could fit 10mm spacers on the rear for an ET32 fitment, I can't imagine you'd have any clearance issues or scrubbing?

[Tim_GTi]

Nice.

Right,firstly I'd get some 165/50s for them. Bridgestone stretch the best, so I'd opt for those over Kumhos or Nakangs as these will scrub more (& and aren't as good!).

Due to the unusually large spigot on the rear hub of the 6N2, you can't go lower than 15mm spacers on the rear. In fact you may well struggle with anything under 20mm.

I'd go 15mm front, 20mm back. that be perfect.

My Cups are 15X7 ET 28 with Bridgestone 165/50s, and that was spot on, with no rubbing at all.

[emma_88]

Oh nooooooo

I've had these wheels for months lol, never seen another GTi with them on. Mine are a project though Good choice though. Mine are also ET25, so sit perfectly.

Get some pics up when they're fitted.

[Trottagti]

picking them up wednesday and i cant wait

So will i deffo need some spacers before i can bolt them on or will they scrub if i do that, or is this spaceing thing just for the look and to get them sitting writ ppl's???

I dont want large spacers as its my daily and they'l knock my wheel bearings out after a while wont they??

pics up as soon as i get some tyres so 165/50/15s yeah, that an ok handling/look legal

[BIG RHYS]

Spacers for the look they wont scrub with out spacers ..

i have 42 ET on my wheels and i had 15mm front 20mm bak and stretched tyres 165/40 and they dint scrub at all

spacers will put more wear and tear on your wheel bearings

[Trottagti]

ahh writ wicked cheers dude, erm where u get ur spacers from like venom or fk or summin like that???

Take it you needed new wheel bolts aswell???

Notice any problems in the wet or anything like that???

[BIG RHYS]

Um nah no probs in the wet they should kindda help handling alittle ..

I got mine from ebay at a good price but i am gettin 34mm spacers now from venom motorsport then mine should scrub lol

[Trottagti]

ah writto dude, but 165/50 is an insane stretch lol, i only want a tiny stretch a nice little one as theres to many police problems in my area already so gotta be kinda legal lol! think im going 185/45/15 thats ok for now.... Il get bigger balls n go all out next time...... but like this for now

Tyrestretch.com is where its at..........

[Tim_GTi]

165/50 isn't insane at all. And the police won't do anything about it.

165/50 is just right for 7s in my opinion.

I'm not a fan of massive stretch either, it's pretty dangerous!

185/45s are for 8js
