Vent and rubbing strips on bumpers due to be painted the same colour as the wheels (y)

Theres a close up of the back one..

Tell me what you think (y)

guessing its not been driven since being lowered? purely because theres acres of room in arches :p

does look goegeous though :eek: when i was with the ex, was trying get her to do her bump strips etc pink :p is different (y)
 
Hasnt been driven no :p

Dont know how much lower it will go, should settle 10mm?

Its lower than it was which is the main thing, dont think they are going to rub (y)

lol just most 15's ive seen on cinqs are in the arches :p will have to wait and see how they settle :p

am tempted by 15's now with same tyres as you :(:( not good :p lol will resist the urge though :p need my wheels ;) :p
 
I'm not too keen on the colour sceam you've picked for the wheels, but I must admit I like the polished rim (Hello Sailor ;))

And the wheel themselves are actually quite nice.
 
Hehe, just wanted them to look a bit different like, and my g/f loves pink :p


Ghost, cos they are 165/45's they are a lot smaller around than 195's hence maybe why they aint in the arch so much.

Its only dropped 40mm (well thats what the springs are supposedly)

Wish id gone 60mm :p

Youre right still looks 2 high. Sell those 40's and go for 60's :D (y)


OOO Idea spray your strips and gasket cover the same color as your rims that will finish it. You can spray it yourself i think.

those springs prob wont go much further than 30mm on standard shocks.

i have 55mm springs on mine and it has only dropped just over 40mm, need shorter shocks to get the full drop from the spring, and a boot full of ice help as well.

the wheels are nice, will stand out a treat when u get it all painted the colour to match! (y)
 
Take her for a ride in the car and that will sort your lowering problems

Either way you look at that sentence, it'll work ;)
 
i absolutely love them there exactly what i originaly wanted for my car but no offence there damn expensive compared to other wheels although i sppose individuality comes at a price.

you must really love your girlfriend to do this much to her car
