Think Adam had them on his white mk2.
Arch rubbage will be a major problem, especially if you want to lower it.

Boooo.. Thats what I thought.. SO major archwork is needed if I want it lowered?

I suppose it's all relative. You could get away with it but it'll need work.

Wound down that far you'd be looking at major rubbage on the front when you steer surely?
Maz runs coileys on the white car but they aren't wound down nearly as far as you're going for. Poo shields would need to come out and I reckon you'd need to roll the front arches, backs would definitely need doing.
I physically can't go any lower with the 16"s on mine. Got the car set up just right with no problems but found that once it's loaded up with camping gear it can rub if I'm going into corners a little faster than usual.
Still, looks good.

That looks absolutly fantastic MrP. Though to pull it off it would have to be really low so youd need some serious arch work. My catchs the odd time and its on standard sebrings with arches well cut back and no liner :?
