Hey Eurobox, can you give me any details on your alloy size adn offset, tyre size and spacer depth if you have any. I've got a GT2 just like yours and I'm scratching my head at what spacer depth to get and tyres for my 15" Sebrings. I taje it your cars running of coils too?

Cheers

Certainly sir, they're 15x8 ET25 all round with hubcentric 25mm spacers in front and 30mm in rear, tyres are 185/45 and yes it has coilovers. Rear arches rolled.

Hope this helps.

Also as advised by Mr Funk I also got a front lower chassis brace, believe you me if you're going low and wide this is essential...

Thanks for the info, I don't think I'll be going wide enough to need my arches rolled, my Sebrings are only 15x6 and thinking of 165/50 rubber. I'm just not sure what size of spacers to get, I guess I'll try 25mm first on the rear, tbh the front doesn't need much at all the offset on the rims ET35. My coilovers look identical to those, what kind of strut brace is that?

Thats an Eibach chassis brace.

I've currently not got a lower chassis brace , what benefits you finding? Also eurobox do you have any front on pics because I'm interested how the wheels sit cheers
Anyway cheeky pic of mine

The car feels immediately way less (for want of a better word) wallowy in the twisties and more rigid and steering feels more responsive, but it's a definite noticeable difference, I'm glad I bought it. Only takes about 5 minutes to fit too.

Don't have any front on shots yet, I'll nab a few over the weekend and get em up for you shortly.

Yeah I'm liking your gold Scirocco... liking it a lot. I've never seen a gold one before actually

Meet Egor my GTX ;)

Welcome

Egor looks good, is he black?

I know your name from one of the other vw forums unless it's a coincidence.

welcome Dublass - Matt/Mrgarf mentioned you and your Helios GTX at the National Meet.

Did he?! Should I be worried lol

And yeh he is Helios not black :)

Liking the new look but I really did like those big snowflakes! Must remember to buy a lottery ticket tomorrow.

Well, had a day on both my car and Pauls GT. These are the clear indies that I bought from Alex the other week. Used an old broken set of amber indicators and ground and shaped with a Dremmel and mated them up to the clear fronts.

They have a slight off white tint to them but they blend in with the brown of the Storm, thoughts, good or bad?

Glad you got them together dude, and they look really good! Great shine to the paintwork too.

clean!



16v, GTL and Scala together




BRM too sad to show...

Just had the old girl out over the weekend to soak up some sun and grab some new photos …









The full set can be found here for anyone that’s interested.

Beautiful as always Paul, the car I mean
