They look funky dude, racy but clean and simple.
You've easily got enough room in the back for a Toureg tdi V10.... seems like the obvious next step to me.

I think the tyre looks too large in overall diameter. I don't mind the side on chunky ness of it though, (however, i'm not sure it suits the cabby, lol. Becauseracecabby?)
Lol, Joe.....Quote:

Umm did u buy one of those 3.6L long blocks ?! :D dont worry I won't tell anyone
Yeh man, I'm really liking how the 205/50's sit :-) done a little more arch work on the rear so no more scrubin'!Quote:

updates on the wheels :)
Got them all painted and fitted, mashed the front guards (they're far from done yet as I need to buy some legit tools to get it perfect), dropped it, cambered it and spaced the rears 10mm..... i'll also work the rears more to match the fronts once I get the tools.....
I had my wheel shop machine the edges for me to get rid of the terrible curbing and roll them true before I stripped them and painted them. I decided on painting them a colour from Hyundai believe it or not, it's their Espresso Pearl; It turned out a lot darker then I expected but meh...

I've been gunning for that chunky tyre look to get away from the stretch scene. This thing is getting beaten on the daily and i'm loving it, it's good to be back playing again!
Looks amazing dude!! Those tyres are perfect!
I like it. I like it a lot. Looks wicked.
Chunky tire stance - Achieved :thumbup:
Paint coulda been lighter but either way everything fits in quite nicely, looks tops !
Can't wait for engine pics!
Did u make use of those light weight rods u had for sale?
