Hughesy's MK3

[Hughesy]

Thanks for the comments!

Looking good mate! U just running lowering springs?

*Cough* Cut. But yeah just lowered springs. I'm dodgy

Nice!

What roof racks are those btw and where did u get them? They look similar to thule but i wasnt aware that they made anything else except the black square bar for the mk3.

They are 'Pro-rack'. I got them from Supercheap, they did have to order in the mounting points for the MK3 but it only took a week or so. I managed to get them pretty cheap as i've got a mate who works there, but all up it shouldnt cost more than about $220ish for the everything you need, brand new.

I'm also in the process of finding a roof fairing to suit, i'm unsure of whether to order a Thule in case they dont mount to the racks at all, but the generic/universal ones tend to look a little cheap.

Send me the dimensions of the roof bars and I'll see if they will suit a Thule fairing, I've got one myself

Car looks pretty dope though mate, get some coils under the guards and drop it like its hot

More info on the generic ones? I went to ARB and they had no idea what a fairing attachment was.

That would be awesome! The bars are 32mm wide front to back. And 22mm tall, bottom to top. If you can find out if the Thule attachments will fit it'd be epic!

I dont know of anything here in Australia but there are some that will come with universal fittings. Something like this one says it'll fit to almost all stock racks aswell as aftermarket kits, sto the fittings must be adjustable.

Wheels!!! Finally, I took my time but i'm getting there. Still need roof basket and fairing.
Hopefully have tyres on these and fitted tomorrow.

15x8 +25 all round. Will be running a 5mm slip on in the rear to flush it out.

Thanks mate

Still deciding on tyre sizes. Thinking of 195/45/15's, stretched but nothing crazy. Any suggestions are appreciated!

[schoona]

195/45 will be reasonably stretched.
Let me know what size/brand etc you get?

This is for all different stretchs:

On an 8", 195/45:

195/45 would be my choice too! no point in going smaller on a mk 3 imo

[mk3pete]

I've ended up going with 195/50's for that reason, had to special order the 195/45's and they were a tad expensive. Repco and supercheap have baskets to suit these racks, but i'm trying to find an older cheaper basket at the moment lol.

Here's some pics, still needs the basket and fairing to top it off, maybe a bit lower to! But its looking much better. Put the new number plates on aswell, wont be to everyones tastes but i'm very happy with it so far!

Drive home from getting tyres involved a bit of scrubbing, resulting in this

[Jarred]

plates are mad, but cars not mad enough to pull it off! need more stance! :p
