Well after a long debate about what to do with my car i've decided to keep it and do it up.
Starting with some Genuine 18" TT V6 Ronals on 215/35/18 rubber.

What do you think

Looks good Marco. Avoid the potholes with those babys on your car and adjust the lumbar support to protect your back!! :D

I work in Hamilton so will look out for you, so if you see an A3 flashing the lights at you dont worry - its only me!!

Nice! What wheels are you replacing?

Yes, very nice indeed!

Do you have standard suspension, the clearances are very tight, so I doubt whenther any lowering would be permissable with those wheels.

Cheers,

Mike

The 6 spoke SE alloys.

Mike i bought coilover so i can control how low i want it to go rather than buying a fixed height suspension kit

That looks great. I have the same rim and tyre size and my car is lowered 20 mm using Eibach springs.

Good to see another A2 with 18" wheels.

The 6 spoke SE alloys.

Just curious to know what you're doing with the old 6-spoke alloys? I'm not looking to buy them, unfortunately, but was just wondering how difficult they are to sell on? Is there any demand? I'm thinking of changing my own standard 6-spokes that came with the car and I'm wondering how easy it might be to sell on the old ones to help out with the cost of the new...! :)

Strange i dont get any rubbing and i have the same tyres maybe you have a different offset (ET)
