Updates:

Vinyl has been holding up much better than i thought it was, a few pieces here and there were lifting, or getting chipped up due to rocks, but for the most part its been great. I replaced a few pieces that were getting chipped up, as well as did the whole hood white.



Also got my head unit installed by Mobile Solutions, they did a great job, I'm sure everyone knows how good of work they do. They had a fresh Huracan with winter tires on it getting some work done. Definitely my new favourite car.

Pioneer 4000Nex with apple car play. Works awesome!

Re: Non bacon car

thanks guys. the guys over at MS are awesome to chat with and did awesome work. even cleaned my interior with a fresh smelly.

Got the steering wheel module with the headunit so all the steering control still work great. I wonder if you could call xm and get a free transfer over to a new headunit?

Re: Non bacon car

That's awsome it was always a extra for me for steering wheel control.
I personally want the change but want the car to stay factory, as well as have the free xm. The oringnal owner must have bought the lifetime subscription.
Car looks great. Still havnt seen it in person, you still down south?

Re: Non bacon car

So winter seems like its pretty much over already (probably just jinx'd it} .... its time to get started on the summer plans. was hoping i could get some input on summer wheels.

I have narrowed it down to a few sets of wheels;
18inch wci wheel, 9.5 wide all around with semi aggressive fitment,
19 inch brotiform, 8.5 wide with a non aggressive offset to start out with, which would probably be pushed out with spacers in the long run anyways.
19 inch rotiform 10 inch wide with aggressive offsets.

All wheels either machined/polished or powdercoaded in a fancy colour.

One issue is that sometimes when running a bigger wheel and being low it can makes it look weird because there is no wheel gap, but you car is still 5 feet off the ground. i wonder if this would be an issue with a 19 inch wheel on a b7? Im not the biggest fan of bigger sized wheels, but i do love the look of the wheel and it only comes in one size.

pics for clicks.

Re: Non bacon car

Option #1 if you plan on bagging the car.

Option #3 if you're staying static.

I'm just going to wait for the WCI-related 'wrong bolt pattern' thread that will eventually follow.

Let's do a deal on those winters against the Rotiform 18x10s that I'm selling?

most likely going bags, so option one then.

the wci wheels are local this time so no problem there lol.

Re: Non bacon car

18" for bagged or if you are going super low static
I'm not sure about widths for the B7 platform or offsets but 9.5 in the front seems more than semi aggressive, unless you want this to turn into your second bacon fenders car??

9.5's up front don't seem to be that big of an issue on b7's.
