Re: My R-Line TDi project
wheels aren't bad but i think you'd be better spending some of your wheel money on a set of coil overs so it actually sits right hah

Believe it or not, your opinion isn't law and people do, in fact, have differring tastes. This is, in essence, the fabric of car modification.
I personally think that a Scirocco dropped with springs alone looks just right, unless you're doing a fair bit of other external modifying and styling along with it. That's my opinion. I wouldn't respond to someone's pictures of their otherwise standard Roc, on coils, by saying something along the lines of "You'd have been better off not spending your money lowering it that much because I think it looks like crap", however.
By all means, state your opinion....but don't criticise a person's taste, just because it's different to your own.
Back on topic; I'm actually not a fan of how the wheels look. In my opinion, they seem a little....'sharp' and don't fit the Roc's curves, if that makes sense. The pic's and the light conditions aren't of the best quality, though, tbf....so I may have a different opinion once I see a few more....and once it's had a bath!
Re: My R-Line TDi project
Like the Bentleys and the Astons. but the Porsche wheels I'm not a fan of, but I didn't like them on a Porsche either.
I think the wheels would benefit from some good coilovers though, as it looks a bit nose heavy, I have changed wheels many times on my cars, and didn't like them, but then dropped the coils on, and got the stance right and it makes the world of difference, helps the curves of the car, esp as the rear arch is so big, just helps the car flow.
(my bodyshop guy gave the same reply about the T5 mod when he did mine )

Re: My R-Line TDi project
Haha sorry brocky no offence meant ! IN MY OPINION ... So on, each to their own were all friends here
Re: My R-Line TDi project
I don't take offence by anyone's comments. Everyone has their own style and ideas.
Personally I would put coilovers on 2moro but this is my work car and I just can't do it to myself. The ride on coilovers is never the same, it's so hard even on soft setting. I had kW v2's on my m3 and it looked lovely but it wasn't enjoyable to drive unless U drove on a perfect flat surface with no bumps or potholes.
So springs on this car was my only option.
Thanks for the comments on the wheels tho.

Re: My R-Line TDi project
In my opinion I don't like the Porsche wheels at all. And the Aston wheels just doesn't suit the car. I wasn't a fan of the Bentley wheels but after seeing these 2 other wheels I defiantly prefer the bentleys. Put the Bentley wheels back on but with Vw centre caps .. Just my personal taste. Long as u like it that's all that matters. Car looks great apart from that!

Re: My R-Line TDi project
bit off topic of the wheels but what headlight bulbs do you have there M4CES /
Re: My R-Line TDi project
Not sure what bulbs they are. It was a Hid kit from kode shop, they advertise on eBay.
He's my pal so I dunno what the cost of the kit normally is or other details etc

Re: My R-Line TDi project
White-devil - Bentleys were sold ages ago, I am always looking out for different rims so these may not stay on too long but I do like them. Think some opinions may change when the car is clean, things always look better when they ain't filthy dirty lol

Re: My R-Line TDi project
I tell you what, if you dont have the astons on for long I would happily buy them off you! I think they look really good, would look compliment them more with a bigger drop but fair enough if you dont wanna go too low...I have lowered my car about 65+mm and am forever getting stuck when driving through London for work!
Re: My R-Line TDi project
