Title: Cut & Blow anyone?
Post by: T88OMM on June 19, 2011, 01:56:59 pm
Having owned my RS for a good while now I thought it was about time to get some photos up of her. I know they are rubbish shots but they are the best I can do.

You say "rubbish shots" but actually it doesn't disguise how mean and purposeful she looks when viewed head on  :notworthy:. It doubtless helps not having a number plate. Is your black front grill OEM?

No the plate hasn't been edited out, just took it off for a few shots. The front grill is OEM Robin  :happy2:

Had a good one this week with the NeuSpeeds on a TTRS.

I think they're forged and not cast and have some form of "Ridge" on the inner rim, basically you cant get an 8 pot caliper over the 370mm disc and get the wheel over it, guy ended up getting a 362 2 piece setup to get the caliper inside the radius.

Loads of room on the spokes for a BBK tho Tom  :wink: :wink: :wink:

Car look fab mate, love the pic of the roof on the last shot

Cheers guys, the rims are a big improvement for sure, just needs a tap with the lowering stick now which will come in due course  :happy2:

Front on shot is EPIC.  :notworthy:

The rims are very suited to the car.  :happy2: 9in wide.   :rolleye: I take it you will be up to your old tricks then of buying new wheels when the tyres get bald.  :laugh:

Cheers TC! You know me too well, the tyres on the OEM rims were completely shagged so I thought I may aswell buy some new rims  :grin:

Just lowering springs as it has mag ride and the handling is preety epic with it, I would'nt want to get the delete kit with coilovers as I don't want to upset anything. Just for looks mainly that's all. Some engine mounts and ARB's are planned to sort out the soggy handling  :wink:
