Hello all!
I have been looking on here for a while and been meaning to Join! I have had my coupe for a month now!
Previously owned another 20V Turbo that I had for 2 weeks before it Overheated and blew up! So I took it back!
Gave me the coupe BUG so that's why I brought a new one!

I have already Put new clutch in from SOLO-ITALIA, 19" TSW RIBS, it is being re-sprayed as we speak as the bodywork was tatty, Gone for a mad Blue colour, will post pics as soon as I have her back tommorrow! Oh, ALso got AUTODS KIT!

Not bad so FAR!!!!
NEED HELP THOUGH! Need to lower now!

19's went straight on with 215/35/19's
I calculated that the overall size is 22mm larger though!
Increasing the ride height by 11mm from the centre,

So lowering is my next job!

No they went on no probs with 215/35/19's

I calculated that they are 22mm larger in total, making 11mm higher from the axel,

Therefore Loweing is my next job, then brakes!

No Rub on full lock!

I know that I am going to need to modify the liners to lower to what I want though!
But 19's do look sweet!

It is a really bright baby blue!

Love seeing bespoke colour coupes, looking forward as well. Keefy, are you running the unichip mapped over the standard chip or something else? Also what turbo have you got as your power rating is very good if just on standard.

that's where mine was done but they don't support the unichip anymore unfortunately, suggest take it to perfect touch in hoddesdon for a remap.
