just won centre caps on ebay.
got 20.5mm spacers waiting to go on so all i need is to get some 165/50 tyres and the stance will be sorted.
then will be looking for some rs turbo arches and skirts.

that grey fiesta looks promising, the RS arches look very good on the mk5 not seen them done before.

only criticism is the stickers on the OP car not to my taste

Peado Bear in the rear window lol.

at first glance I didn't think the wheels suited but a few seconds of staring and they do actually work well imo.

Is there any sort of rule to tyre stretching? Or just go as narrow as you dare? Are you not at risk of the bead letting go?

allow you to go lower and have more poke without scrub, as my 195's were getting near canvas from scrubbing.

also to get a lower looking profile.

Looks better like that IMO, I've got a imp blue one too and I want the smoked lights.

Mines just a run around cuz the escort takes my money but I'd like to do something different, everyone seems to make zs's look like vws. (I know people could say it bout my escort) but I'm bored of seeing it.

Looks a tidy car tho mate, the frst arches would be a nice start. I regret selling the ones I had now lol
