Maybe its my phone but no image showing for me. On ImageShack you need to use the 'direct link' url or else right click on the displayed image, copy image location then paste into post.

Apologies if you've done it correctly and its just me

Can I ask what the heck is the thing on the headlights ? day LED's ?

[melvey]

LED strip

[Sebastian]

Like : alloys, spoiler ,colour ,tint
Dislike : shark fin ,front led strip and in two minds about the sunvisor.

Is she manual ?
A set of clear side repeaters and a pair of spacers on the back will change the looks a bit .

[melvey]

[melvey]

she's automatic, a few bits differant to other fto's, thats all
i would like clear side repeaters, orange ones look like big sweets

[melvey]

[melvey]

about the spacers mate, do you reckon come out 10mm on the rear

[colm_mcm]

Wouldn't like the steering wheel, visor or the fin but the spoiler, wheels, calipers and stereo are tasty

[melvey]

the wheel came on it, a bit iffy with that myself

about the spacers mate, do you reckon come out 10mm on the rear

there is a guy on the midnight club selling 4 spacers that fit the fto. he has two 5mm and two 6mm.
I was going to get them off him but he wouldn't travel to meet up. I was only about 15 minutes away from him and contacted him and he still wouldn't meet up and i drove over an hour to do a job near him.... so we broke up ...

if you want to sell something you think you would make an effort, me thinks.

Personally I would go for larger than 5/6mm but depends on the rims your sitting on.
Im talking to a member on this site that might make some up but will let the member make himself known if he wants when prices and sizes are decided.

[melvey]

well mate, i can make them up no problem
i have access to a trumph laser at work

[StewyD32]

want to do me some then

[melvey]

once the program is written i will make several sets
do you reckon 8mm or 10mm diameter
is the bore 67.1mm??
and pcd 114mm??

[StewyD32]

yeah thats right but its a tad over 114 its 114.3 for the pcd.
Im going to collect my fto tomorrow i had it hidden away when on holiday, and will measure what is ideal. Just thinking about it i'd say 10mm to 15mm at a push for mine.

[ottostreet]

Very nice altogether, after getting a few ideas for my own from this!

melvey, I'd also be interested in spacers...let me know when you start making them!

[paul2508]

+1 on the spacers

[melvey]

Well lads will post when i have spacers made up
should be wednesday,making 10mm first
Will powdercoat them black aswell

[ottostreet]

Anyone have pics of an FTO on spacers, and what sizes? I want to make mine nice and wide!

[melvey]

Have seen pictures of them done with 20mm spacers
looked well, filled the back arches nicely for a more aggressive look
But they were the spacers with new studs made into them,fairly expensive on ebay
10mm is probably the max with original stud length

[ottostreet]

I think I'll just save up and get 20-25mm hub ones for the rear. Damn they are expensive (120 euro average) but I think it'd be safer. Is 10mm about the furthest you should go with the spigot ring kinda ones?

[melvey]

10mm would be as far id go with floating spacers
last thing anyone wants is a wheel going down the road faster than the car


Are you still looking for steering rack gaitors?
its just,i think sebastians friend is selling a set on donedeal

[StewyD32]

Would I have to roll my arches if I got spacers seems it's lowered?.

[melvey]

How far you planning to come out
the rear has loads of space
may need to roll the front
can be done with a jack and solid round bar
