Wow socks!! Looking really neat, all coming together well.

What are the offsets of the rims? From side on, looks like maybe some spacers are in order!

Hey ink, not 100% sure on the offsets. Fronts are flush but have 5mm spacers on order for the rears. Tried 10s but they were too big. Hopefully spacers will be here soon

Thanks Rubs.
20s look awesome but hard to fit without rubbing,
19s are about as big as I would go to be practical.
18s apparently give you the best ride
then theres the drag stip bros that would argue 17s or 16s are best

AUSf22 · 08-20-2015, 05:13 AM

Where are those M3 air ducts Mr.Socky?

Boganian Rubes · 08-20-2015, 05:29 AM

I've got my spare set of 16's lol. For the rubbing issue, stretched tyres should help I think.

Mod 24 - Cyba scroops

Not even sure this qualifies as a mod but for the sake of completeness
Fitted some red cyba scoops

For some reason they stand out in the pics, but thankfully they are not as bright in real life. Not sure if I like em yet, can always paint em black
Noticed a significant lift in air flow to turbos and kick in power since fitting (haha)

Pic 1 - New scroops
Pic 2 - Fitted

MingKun · 08-21-2015, 08:18 PM

Are the paddles wired for left paddle=downshift//right paddle=upshift? Better sort that out too with your newfound DIY skillz! Looks great with the M3 cluster.

The cream interior needs to be updated though, I'll start you off with these links:

Thanks mate. Left paddles stock. Got 4 cans of black plastidip to do interior. Going to spray everything including carpets and seats. Rubberized look is gonna be awesome.

How much did the wheel cost you? How would those paddle thingies work on an auto?

My car is an auto and the paddles work just fine... Wheels come up on the forum from time to time. Brand new they are pretty expensive
