Cheers Al, I have to say that the black one looks awesome ! Mine is lowered 30mm and I can only just get off my drive now ! If I lowered it any more then the border front would meet the tarmac :laughing

Funnily enough Mark (hugh janus) on here said about dropping it a bit more when he popped round earlier and i'm thinking of going coilies in the spring so i'll probably play with different ride heights then :th:

thats the only downside to big bumpers in the uk hit a pot hole, slightly high curb, the various sized speed bumps and its trashed or ripped off. My trial bumper on the mk3 sat about 3 inches off the ground I had to get it trimmed so I could get off my drive lol

The arch gap let it down as it had more of a gap than bugs bunny's teeth.

Not going to the Essex meet then?
Good choice, mate. Wolfrace Eurosport Sharks?

One reason I chose the D1Rs is because keeping studs clean is a PITA and they cost a fortune to replace. The other is their light weight. Do you know what yours are?

Yes mate bang on - eurosport sharks :D I was a bit apprehensive about the wolfrace brand but they seem really well made so that tipped me to buying them.They aren't particularly light weight but not as heavy as I expected either and i'm going to invest in a soft brush and some muc-off wheel cleaner for around the studs - certainly not wonder wheels though ;) . I'm not going to the meet on monday - new tyres + snow = kerbed rims :laughing plus I haven't driven the car since last weekend so the snow and ice is really thick and I can't be bothered to scrape it all off :no:

Maybe we could do another meet this month when the snow has gone? If not it'll be feb for me i'm afraid :rolleyes:

Thanks bud, I was a bit concerned they'd be too big to fit but they went on a dream and the offsets are bang on :th: I'm very happy with the look now :D
