:D

Now all she needs is a bit of lowering and she'll look nearly perfect :)

very neat job, not to ver board and not to under class either, little bit of shiften with the suspension and she will be sweet, probably lows alla round or mybe sl at the front depending on what you want. got any more pics of her, inside etc....

S/lows all round, despoiler, clear indicators, clear side indicators... then she'll look a world better :)

but rims do look good, congrats, suit the car :)

Reminds me of a Lexus SC430. Nice lol

Berry nice....!!!! Not to OTT

... What he said! Looks like a sweet ride.

looks good what size rims are they

and +1 for lowering

Very nice mate suits the classiness of the Veranda!

Lookin ace. Nice choice of rims.

Also, why Sofie?

What size are they?

Lower it pronto ;)

Why Sofie? Just a name I came up with!

They're 18" rims.

And what sort of ballpark figure am I looking at to get superlows in front and lows in the rear?

Expect to pay about $250 for the springs alone.

About $400 is *reasonable* if you pay to have it done (including springs).

Very nice, like mine in needs lowering though and it would look fab. Like the spoiler, nice and low so it doesn't look ricey.

I love those rims. How much and from where if you don't mind me asking?

They are RJR Linears from Bob Jane. $1860 including Maxxis MA-V1 tyres. I got it on their 12 month interest free dealy they have running.

I saw these rims in the current Bob Jane flyer. Wondered what they would look like on a Magna/Verada. Now I know - they would and do look good.

including Maxxis MA-V1 tyres.

Nice tyres

I say keep the spoiler! :rant:

Ollie

:stoopid:, i've got the same tryes on my second gen

i like it man, very nice. looking forward to seeing it lowered too.

As soon as I saw you named her sofie I automatically thought cos' the Verada's drive like a nice comfy sofa!!!

Maybe it's just me..:redface:

Lovely wheels....real classy and 18's aren't over doing it...just right...and they look quite easy to clean too!! very important!!!

It'll look awesome with superlow springs... stay away from pedders.... oooops that came out loud!!!!

Maybe even the 3rd gen TJ Para's that are one piece... hmmmmm lovely....

Yikes.... now that looks great!!!! Go Sofie!!!!!

VERY nice choice in wheels

+1 to the lowering

but also - maybe bigger brakes too now, seeing as you have all that extra space to fill up that can be seen behind the well?
(bonus is while they look good, they also have a purpose as well)

Just a quick thing.

The left front wheel scrapes something in the wheel well now. It's not a bad scraping, it sounds similar to if you drag your shoes along the ground when riding a bike. It only happens:

1) When carrying a heavy load and I go over bumps or unevenness in the road surface, or tightish turns (turning into a street for example)

2) When at speed (around 100km/h). Every time I go over any slight unevenness in the road and the car bounces, the left front wheel scrapes.

I have had a look in the wheel well, and the clearance to the flat metal thing that holds the springs in place is the only thing it can be hitting. It only happens on the left front wheel, the others are fine.

It's a bit concerning because I don't want something to happen to my expensive tyres!


EDIT: See below for solution.

it's not hitting that!

have a look ar the plastic splash gards infront of the wheel or above the wheel under the lip...


where the tyre is rubbing will be easy to see as it leaves a mark

You are a genius. Of course!

Part of the front left splash guard has been cut away by someone, as a result it is now loose and everytime I sped up, the wind would push it back onto the wheel!

Thank you so much!

Anyone know if I can get a new one from Mitsubishi?

Cut more off it.
