That is a stunning piece of work.
Scoobs always look best in white IMO... That is pure **** mate.


as far as youre updated stance goes, I think it looked better before, but function over form is my moto. If there are noticable handling benefits to the widened track, keep it that way.

Needs those wheels whitening tho

They have only moved a few mm further out, and i cant really feel much difference in handling over the previous setup.

my car has always been a "power oversteer" one for some reason even when stock it liked to push the rear out before the front under power, i had a full alignment last year and had it set to the whiteline motorsport specs, it made it handle much nicer, but still seams to have the power going to the rear more then the front ? which is nice, its not a DCCD model or anything like that so should have its usual 50/50 split

as it stands now, the rear track is wider then the front by a total of 16mm

adding more offset/track to the front does tend to show a few more handling flaws/traits so i am reluctant to do that.

i was all set to get rid of it last month as i fancied a sensible audi but i gave it a good clean last week, stood back and thought "hell yea that looks the ****" so decieded to keep it

Would a set of 22b wheels be a better proposition so you wouldnt need to use spacers? (btw - I do like those wheels )
