  1. Really, you've just put me off importing it or I might fly to Florida and see my cousin and have it delivered there then put it in my suitcase (:

    Yup, shipping costs and import duty's a nightmare from the US. Also your scre###d if they don't deliver. I made a purchase from EVO-r's website and never received the goods, they now just ignore my e-mails/calls!
  2. Looking great mate, i have just got the same diffuser from Tarmac. How did they attach it in the end and did you have any issues with clearance on the exhaust tips? On a test fit it seems a bit tight with my Invidia

    They used about 4-6 screws with a drill, then got a black sharpee ;) get some tape and a pencil, you'll need to mark up on the bumper, along with some masking tape to hold it in place and to avoid scratching. Once it's fitted properly it clears the exhaust easily.

    Did they drill/screw through the diffuser into the bumper mate?

    looking over different wheel finishes for our new releases

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    I thought it was just one guy sitting in front of a pc on the web working out which wheel design they would rip off next :p

     

    As a business model you cant fault Rota and enjoyed reading the sales pitch. There is a reason why Rota got a bad rep, no smoke without fire and all that, having said that, it seems they have improved massively. But, they are still a cheap alternative and regardless of the pitch above, they are heavy and the finish can suffer (speaking from experience) compared to the wheels they have copied.

     

    They make perfect sense if your drifting or on track, if you smash one its not that much to replace and they are readily available, would i put them on my pride and joy, no B)

    Both myself and my friend run Rota Grid's and have had no issues with either production quality or finish. i agree there are lighter/better wheels available, but as a reasonable cost option they are hard to beat.
  4. Just look for JWL/VIA approval and you should be ok. The only thing with the wheels your looking at is that they are standard sizes. I'd be looking for something a bit meatier to fill out the arches myself.

     

    Anything you can recommend? I like black with polished lip :) don't really understand about wheel sizing and stuff

    You can go for either 18" or 19" wheels, best sizes are 9 1/2" front 10 1/2" rear both ET20 these will fill the arches nicely without the need for spacers
