Yea disk measurements were all the same so should work with the wavey disks. Provided that is that the piston and pad positioning isn't further out on the Porsche than the rs6 which would leave the pad braking on the wave and would wear like mad id imagine?

New wheels are going to look amazing on it

 

[big_pete]

haha had a good laugh at that myself or could be photoshopped on for the picture?

 

[patton]

just a quick update now that I've been able to get the new wheels test fitted. need to do a bit of work at the back as its touching a tab on the quarter and should be able to get the front down a bit more too

Love this car but I'm not sure at all on those wheels ... Maybe I'm just an old ba****d now ... Not sure whether it's the colour of the wheels against the red or else the wheels being really OTT against a stockish body ... Possibly a TTRS spoiler would help the rear end out ... Who knows

Still looking forward to seeing it at dubshed though ...

 

[Stocky]

Lovely set of wheels, colour works with the red so much! 18 or 19s?

 

[G N K]

I like the gold against the red, I know this is what the car is about but for me I think normal sized tyres and lowered to just above the tyre would look so menacing and you'd also be able to rag the arse of the thing.

 

[big_pete]

They are 20's @Stocky lol

 

[Stocky]

They are 20's @Stocky lol

haha 20s or go home then!!

Love a set of 19s for the R

Thanks for all the comments. I quite like the gold and red but not sure if it's the right colour of gold. Could be something to look into.

Tyres are 225s on an 8.5 so not much stretch at all and it drives really nice at driving height. Only had them on a short run to make sure there were no problems but looking dorward to getting a proper run in them

[euge07]

Not a fan of the new wheels or the colour, looked perfect before imo

 

[loud n low]

Really like the gepferett "look" ,I love what they do(even if it means,like all trends,that the 'felter/every young moron in small rural villages across the land may by de-fault,become ultra cool or,maybe by this year they will have moved on to strtch and poke!!!)

You do realise that these wheels now need about 3 grand of brakes sat behind them?!

 

[Ian A]

He's got that covered. Lol

 

[loud n low]

Ha.....I just went back to page 5 of the thread!

 

[patton]

haha thanks yea waiting on getting brackets made atm hopefully have them sorted soon

 

[loud n low]

Looking forward to seeing it come together,as I said I love this look,massive brakes are the ultimate in style and practicality!

 

[patton]

so I've been keeping myself rather busy over the past month, i had been gathering up some parts for a while and its all finally coming together. bought a damaged tts front bumper and repaired it, new set of ttrs side skirts and due to how tight the front fitment was on the oz wheels a set of mucke 30mm wider wings along with a ttrs grill.
id always fancied white tt before i bought one but i couldn't find a white tfsi in my price range so i settled for red, but the urge got the better of me and i decided to have a go myself at doing a vinyl wrap on the car. I'm pretty pleased with how it has came out and i enjoyed doing it. few bits of dust under it here and there but its to be expected really when your doing it in your garage. anyway heres a few pics of my progress along the way. wrapping the door shuts tonight and then brakes are going on tomorrow night hopefully then a good clean and ready for dub shed.

started by stripping the front down for the replacement parts and to allow me to wrap around the leading edge of the doors


offering up one of the new wings to see how it lined up, pretty impressed with the fit


first panel on the car done


little detail of the corners, took me a bt of work to get into the way of how to approach the corners but i think i got better at it as i went on


bonnet was probably the most awkward panel to do due to the size of it


tts bumper done with the new grills in


few corner details


and one of the finished wrap.


i know some people won't like the idea of it but for me it was a cost effective way of getting what i wanted and i always enjoy trying something new would love to hear what you think.

 

[Ben]

Class. Did you do the wrap all by yourself? Can't wait to see it with the brakes on.

 

[patton]

yea did it all at home adam and ian lent me a hand a few nights which helped me out as i kept running out of hands lol
