New MK3 Dubber!

[Lorenz]

Little update, thanks to Alex I now have a nice set of old school mesh head Recaro seats







They arent fitted, just trial fitting the passenger side to see how its going to fit up and how to mount the bloody thing!!

Anyone got any ideas??

[Pullstarter]

I had this dilemna when I decided to change seats too James. Only way around it I could find was tailor made subframes. They should be available through Recaro, I'd imagine most of the Recaro seats have the same mounting pattern?

[Jarred]

I'd modify the lower half of the original to the recaro one. Depend on what the recaro frame is like of course.

Just do it proper and make it nice and strong! No corner cutting!

Update time!

Had custom brackets with modified standard rails made up for the Recaros and rocked them for a few weeks. Very compfy and supportive!
Then I decided I wanted the front and back to match so went out and bought front and rear black VR seats and wacked them in. Not as bolstered as the Recaros, but compfy none the less

Been getting sick of losing my front lip every few days (this is the duckbil lip not the VR lip) so decided to cut it down which both looks better and is more practical for me now.

BBS RS 001s went on a while ago, still yet to find centre caps for them but they will pop up soon Im sure! Got sick of the gold centres last night so did something about it. Rub back, good clean and a few coats of paint and clear coat and they came up a treat.







Will get some more pics up this weekend, cars going in SA DOVW on Sunday

The problem is mate, your wheels just look too damn small what with your tyres like balloons and your wheel arches mimicing 4x4's

In all honesty I'm not sure I like that look, but good on you for the blue centres, I like those!!

[Jarred]

Needs to be slammed for the show!!!

then it'll be really vortex! hahahah

[Lorenz]

Once my new lips come in I will eliminate the tyre ballooning (I hate it, gotta have some stretch!) and cars getting dropped this weekend so no more 4WD stance

[DubSteve]

Lip looks awesome well done!

x2, whilst the blue centres look awesome and really suit the colour of your car, the tyres are just too wide for the wheels. get yourself a set of thinner tyres (or larger lips which you seem to be getting) and keep the tyres nice and black....would look tops! Once your car is lowered you'll be surprised how much bigger your rims will look

[Lorenz]

Yeah I know exactly what you mean. I was going to get another set of treads soon, but no point till I get my lips and not too keen on running anything less than a 185 or 195 on the front. Currently running 195/50/15s on a 7" but as the profiles so big they look like ballon tyres! The car was slammed when I first put the coils in, it made the 14s fill the guards and look bigger than they were. I would have it on its ass all the time if it wasnt for the coppers and the impracticality of everyday driving!

niiiiice, that lip actually looks aight huh! tops
