lovely! how much arch room in rear?
fully cc'd and smoooooooth
btw, is it safe to paint over the black side sills or rub them down then paint them?
lower back and front bumper easier?
Cheers

Is it really that low? Doesn't look like a photoshop.
Love the wheels!

your car already rocked, now it rocks even more! the most beautiful 9n to my taste.
BTW: do you increase your ride height before going over a bump?
i can't imagine how you can not do that and still keep your painted lower bumper as clean and undamaged like that...

I have airride like SiDaBa said. When you do about 35.000kms a year it was a welcome gift. I drive around a bit higher than this, not too much though. When I come to a bad road I just raise it up a little. Same for really heavy speedbump.
Normally when those side sills aren't painted they come ribbled so you need to rub them down otherwise they won't look as good.
THe car is going into the bodyshop monday morning, that's why I tested the wheels to see if they didn't tough the arches or if anything needed to be adjusted before it got painted. But they seem to be made for the car

Another note:
I was thinking of doing my new wheels black, and swayed off it...now you've swayed me again!

the side sills and the side indicators are being removed. A new color (vw candy white) and a black roof. Cali style
please don't tell this in Belgium. It's a well kept secret

^^ this is the only possible improvement I can think of (painting these bits black (maybe the "inner" bits of the grille as well?) while it's getting painted anyway) -- please take it as a respectful suggestion...
-- otherwise it's complete! Very nice indeed.
