tandino 1 Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 Would have fitted my design 90's but the plonker i bought the Rh adapters from German ebay decided that 5x112 pcd = 5x130 pcd ~ - bought some new ones now so should be Porsche'd up tomorrow Front fogs are wide euro fogs which i bought at Gti Festival - look much cleaner than the fussy stock fogs dont you think??Pete.Pics:- [ Edited ] Link to post Share on other sites

tandino 1 Posted July 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Konigsorts are roughly half way down their travel height wise....It seems any lower and the bumpstop will be in compresion permanenetly - therefore the shock will not be doing its job properly.Headlights im not sure about - for the time being they will be staying as ive laid out rather alot recently - perhaps ill start a new trend of keeping stock headlights 8o) Pete Link to post Share on other sites
tandino 1 Posted July 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Heres another 'Moody' pic with the polished 7 and 8x16" Design 90's fitted 8o) Link to post Share on other sites
DundeeDub 0 Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 how much were the adapters for the design 90's and what et and j did you use? Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Rich 3 Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Got any close up pics of the wheels? Just want to compare the finish to mine. :-) Are the centre caps polished? They dont look it in that pic. Link to post Share on other sites
tandino 1 Posted July 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Adapters were FK 25mm so that brings the et down to 38 - they were £160 new - i got them from Performance Solutions but they dont normally sell them - the guy who runs the show had a friends brand new set sat in front of him so naturally i jumped at the chance - the quality on them is superb....The caps arent polished (yet) but i will do them myself and paint the Porsche crest by hand to break the wheel up a bit - watch this space 8o) Pete.[ Edited Wed Jul 21 2004, 09:44PM ] Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Rich 3 Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 You will have to tell me how you get on with painting the crests as I fancied doing this too but though Id probably balls it up. :-) Need to know colours and stuff like that I suppose. Link to post Share on other sites

tandino 1 Posted July 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 Im hopefully going to have a go tomorrow if i can get some humbrol model paint from my local model shop.As you say it will probably be easiest to lay a base coat of Gold down first then ad the black and red afterwards.Luckily ive got a set of 6 spare Design 90's with caps so ill have a play round with the spare caps...Pete.

DundeeDub 0 Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 if the et was 40 to start with before adapters would it be really hard to fit to a VR???i have seen a nice set of bmw ones going cheap Link to post Share on other sites
