they are the 17x8.25 et35 the only reason i didnt go for the 9" with an et20 is because i didnt want to do the arch work...... turns out the 8" did anyway had to raise the back an inch and roll the arches anyway lol

JonMc 27 January 2013 10:14 PM

They are lovely, filling the arches nicely:thumb:

Nice...

Wheels look awesome! Are the new horns much different/louder, or did you do it for looks?

Noooo dont remove it :) I was looking at getting one myself. I think they look great. Was going to ask how did you fit it? The ones I have seen just stick on but I'm not sure I would trust it :D

the roof scoop was on the car when i got it about 5 years ago and it has been bonded to the roof with mastic type stuff, proberly tiger seal. i have also stuck the roof spoiler on the same way :)

the horns i managed to find on Ebay after about 3 months of looking, i got them for £40 everywhere i was looking were more like £80 so i was pretty happy with that lol.

splitter was also a ebay find think i payed about 70-80 for that ages ago, its fibreglass aswell so pretty easy to repair when i bottom out lol

Eros 29 January 2013 11:02 AM

Thanks I might get one then if it's lasted 5 years that you know of and still stayed on. It was worring me that I would have paid to get one, then see a Fiesta drive past sporting it in its windscreen :D

Front splitter is from a Bug uk300.

ac1867 06 February 2013 09:22 AM

Loving this bug.

I was just thinking of a wheel upgrade for mine, and was searching for pics of this wheel size to see how it looks, and perfect is the answer :-)

What size tyres are they? 225/45/17 or 235/45/17?

Thanks
Andy

STEVEBOXER 06 February 2013 10:56 AM

Nice bug, one of the best I would say.
How easy is it to wire up the super tone horns.

Infected by sti 06 February 2013 11:33 AM

That's a lovely looking bug bud :thumb:

Has the rear bumper and side skirts got extensions of some kind? Never seen one look like that, looks lovely tho what ever it's had done ;)

cheers :) the tyres are 225/45/17s, i had to do a little bit of arch work at the back to stop it rubbing but that was down to me not wanting to raise it up any more lol :D
