wheels are on

well this was no easy task… after 2 and a half months of waiting for the wheels to show up, they did but they were far from close to clearing the brakes. so after a huge scramble, with the help of HRE we determined the stoptechs would clear the wheels and i would not need to run spacers(thank god cus the final fitment is aggressive as a mofo). fine… so we ordered the stoptechs(i was able to sell my rs5 brakes same day) which arrived yesterday. i took the day off work to go get everything done, and wouldn’t you know it my bad luck continued lol. stop tech only included one out of the two banjo bolts that are supposed to be included. with the help of the vendor and the local distributor(zeckhausen racing) eurotech was able to drive down to them(about a 30 minute drive each way) and grab the one bolt that was holding us up and everything was mounted up and now I’m good to go. ill get better pics after a good detailing by phil but until then here are some iPhone pics to hold you over.
BIG shout out and thank you to the crew at eurotech, the most accommodating shop around that bends over backwards for its customers. and also out of left field i gotta thank john@tag for helping me out as much as he did(which was A LOT) even tho i didn’t buy anything from him, also a real stand up guy with lots of knowledge.

P44SC? Looks great, classic styling

p43sc

Ah yes, apparently I can’t count

Man that is the hottest B8 I have seen, you sure know how to mod cars. Great Work

WOW! Rich man those look f***in sweet! I am impressed as they work very well with the car… Just out of curiosity did you weigh one with a tire? Sorry if you mentioned it and I missed it…

you need the red S/C badges now…

Should’ve come like that from the factory. Very nice.

im having second thoughts on the carbon lip now

the front lip? It’s probably because of the wide-ish angle lens in the photos. Makes it look huge because it’s close to the lens.

Shoot your car with a 200 mm lens from 50 feet away and I bet you like it in the pictures better.

car looks awesome! Love it! 8)

Wow - those wheels are a perfect fit. I didn’t think wheels alone would make such a dramatic difference in appearance. The car looks f’n great man.

Wow, heck of a setup. That front lip and painted lowers look pretty sweet too. . . I think, can’t completely make my mind up lol. But the wheel and brake combo is pretty killer. It’s a mean looking car whatever the case. I think what saki mentioned will really give a great shot of it as well.
