Styling My GP 1.3 MJET Progress

[ianal09]

Soo took me sometime and patience to visit some garage that sells spigot rings and all of them don't have the spigot ring that will fit my OZ superturismo alloy wheel. but found a way to get them :devil: in EBAAAAAY :slayer::slayer:

[Reuuk]

I want to see these wheels, always wanted a set, so to see what they look like on a GP..

 

[ianal09]

ohhh got them fitted finally just today due to that wheel hub complication i couldn't fit the alloys two days ago, ill get a pic of my baby asap, probably tomorrow morning.

PS Would this fit my 1.3 MJET GP?

Finally after long day at work could finally upload this now, :slayer::slayer:

Could've been better if its lowered :|

 

[ianal09]

Would like to ask, I'm planning to get eibach sport line 45mm spring. but I'm worried that it would be too low and the arch would touch the 17" alloy that i have? or am i totally wrong?

The sportlines would be fine there the most highly recommended on the forum If your really worried then get a tape measure and measure it on your car just for an idea

Also nice pictures of your car but a fail with the number plate blanking

 

[ianal09]

LOL i knew there were something wrong with my photo. >.<
Where would i measure it?

 

[Sean23491]

From the wheel arch to the tyre edge at the top

Measured ot this morning and 45mm will go beyond the alloys. 25 mm is the only way that wouldnt touch the alloy

I can tell you just by looking at the photos of your car that Eibach Sportlines wont come near to touching the wheels.
I have them on mine as to literally hundreds of people on the forum with 17" alloys or bigger plus spacers so you will be fine. And it needs to be done looks like a 4x4 atm

 

[lukemortlock7]

Lowering 45mm won't put the arch anywhere near the top of the rim. As GotGrande says, tonnes of people use sportlines and there is still a bit of a gap between the arch and the top of the tyre. You'll be fine! I've got sportlines in a box in my garage ready to be fitted

 

[ianal09]

thank goodness. Then i wouldn't be worrying about that then 45mm it is then. Is 45mm legal for MOT?

Yup its all good when it come to the M.O.T and you will be very pleased with both the looks and handling of the car when you have it done. The only downside is that the ride will not be as smooth over bumps but after a couple of drives you wont even tell the difference

cheers mate hopefully before UNIVERSITY starts i should be able to have my car lowered, so far I'm thinking of getting the rear badge taken off (debadge) and fill it in and get it painted but i wonder how much it would cost for me to ask a professional to do it? anyone had done this before?

 

[chrisgrice18]

A lot lol

 

[ianal09]

A lot lol

i suppose it's quite expensive then

depends what you class as a lot.

I can get that done for £50 where I live. It is not a big job and no, the whole tailgate will not need respraying before someone says lol.

regarding lowering, mine is lowered 60mm, no problems.

 

[tempz]

With regard to lowering mines dropped on 17s at about 80-90mil so you'll be fine.

I used to have sport lines on and they were no where near the wheel. Stop procrastining and get em on
