No If you read it properly you will see that we were saying they will fit fine its just without lowering it you will have a stupidly big arch gap and that will look crap and give you loads of bodyroll round corners so you should lower it to counter act that.

 

[Skitz]

Yea but even if you dont get new alloys your cars still at that stupid height like mine

 

[punto_matt]

Tis true but 17's will push it up a bit more

 

[Skitz]

Yea i guess so, im not fussed till i can spare the £ for coilovers ive scraped the springs idea

 

[1.4 Sport Punto]

Alright sound thx have you done yours yet?

N would it be easier to spray them or try and find already made ones lyk from a scrapyard etc.

N there £15 for 2 thats good.

 

[punto_matt]

Eh? who you talking to? :S

 

[1.4 Sport Punto]

cool thanx for the tip i was tryin to conclude about alloys yesterdy is the gap stupidly big or is it ok?

yours arays look fine against the black of ya GP

 

[OCZedd]

I havnt done mine yet I think I will do them soon. Its £15 for one btw, you need RH and LH.

 

[1.4 Sport Punto]

Was originally talkin bout door handles then your posts came through as i was typin lol so crossed between the 2 ideas

lol

 

[1.4 Sport Punto]

kk thts kwl 30 quid still aint bad

where shud i get paint from halfords lol?

 

[Skitz]

Well my cars black, but im going to spray the plastic bit black to match the car because like OCZed said it looks abit off

 

[OCZedd]

Im not too sure, as halfords sometimes arent very good at getting a correct match. I think I might get a spray place to do mine, should be a better match right.

 

[punto_matt]

The arch gap is stupidly big as standard on them. Putting 17's on wont help that matter either.

With spraying the handles you could either take the door cards off then take the handles off, sand them, primer them and spray them then refit. Or mask them up on the car and cover the side of the car in newspaper to avoid over spray and spray them on the car if you wanted.

 

[1.4 Sport Punto]

yh thats a good point. If i go to the paint shop they will strip n prime them 2 n get a proffesional finish instead of my bodge job lol

how much u reckon a respray would be?

So it isnt necessary to sand and prime them? Just straight black spray?
