Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    The tab in the wheel arch is simple, remove screw, push plastic over the tab and bend the tab up a little. I would be more worried about the inside clearance on full lock, but if you hack at the moulding or change it, you may have the sweetest stance around...
    The GT-Four offset is lower, pretty sure it's 38 or 35 which makes me think they will fit the polo relatively ok

    • I'll get the camera out later tonight when i get home.

      Fixed my tyre - Oh sweet relief of not having to buy another one


      PS those wheels look effing HOT on the Celica, leave em on there, get some newbies for your Polo!

        • ^^ Looking good Blitzen.

          Today I found a squeak that's been annoying me for weeks - a couple of the clips on the plastic tray under the motor had come off and it was wriggling around. All quiet now

            Heh, thanks mate
            I only thought about doing it as the Celica will be getting sold soon, hasn't been driven for over a year
            I would buy some new wheels but I am broke!
            Hmm although...once the Celica sells, maybe some of the money can be 'misdirected' to a set of new wheels

            • Nice twists. Maybe get 2 in 215 and see how they fit. If they still rub you can put them on the rear.

              • My Polo got new shoes today...



                I'm stoked with the look... They look a tad high in the pic, but at this stage I love the stance, and the little bit of poke I have...

                        • Haha, trust me, it's not that much. I really like the look of it. It's a bad pic, but better ones are on the way.
                          Now I can Clean the brakes without taking the wheels off the car!!

                              Wheel size is 18x8 ET35, and tyre size is 225/35 18. No spacers, and they fill out the guards completely... I have about 8mm clearance from both the strut on the front, and the inner guard on the rear, and then I have about 1mm of poke on the front, and they are just tucked in on the rear.
