the idea was to mix old skool wheels on a modern car. Looks better in the flesh. Ill wax her and take some more pics.
Couldnt do the silver roses, because i'm thinking of puting a set on either my caddy or the wifes lupo gti

Wheels are off a porsche 928, But have been polished.

Dazza how much have you lowered yours?, did you have trouble with the drivers side driveshaft?? I had to modify the drop links on the antiroll bar

Mines is lowered 50mm on spax springs m8, and doesn`t foul the driveshaft dunno if yours is the 1.4 tdi but i wouldn`t have thought that it would be a different set up than mine

mine is the 1.4tdi. I dropped it as low as i could on the coilovers. Literally the sump is 3-4 inches off the floor. i'll post some pics soon.
