i bought the car about 2 weeks ago a bog standard 1.4 16v sport





ive since fitted a set of 15" BBS wheels off a mk 2 golf gti and lowered it 60mm on fk coilovers

ive also debadged the boot and doors and took the side strips off

got some german style pressed plates that are here just need putting on

here is it now as it stands:

ah i see, i'm running 15x6.5j's with an et of 33.
Found that if you use 185/45/15 tyres you'll get away with a -60mm drop and no scrubbing issues (i'm using Fk coilovers aswell) .. mines a 5door though so i'm only assuming it would be the same for a 3door.

As for arch work you could pull out the metal arch a tad to give a few mm clearance or cut it & remove the bolts that hold the arch trims on (bond them on using tigreseal).. but personally i think some narrower lower profile tyres (185's or 165's) would sort your scrubbing problem as at et35 youll have a few more mm clearance compared with mine.
