It's been quite a while since I haven't posted anything around here. In the meantime I managed to get myself a set of 19" rims with 215 35 19 tires and did many stuff but still I'm not satisfied.

I went to 3 car events and I won 4 prizes. I won in my hometown Best Static - 1st Place, I won at a different place Best Static - 2nd Place because the guy who won 1st Place lowered his car at the show. At the last car event I won 2 prizes : Lowest Static - 2nd Place, the same guy who lowered his car at the previous event did it again, lowered his 5th series at the show and won 1st Place. I also won Best Fitment - 3rd Place. I wasn't expecting this prize because the 2nd place was awarded to a golf mk3 with air ride and 1st place was given to a guy with an audi a7 with air ride, 20"inch rad48 rims.
Somehow I get the feeling that I should step it up a bit so this summer is going to be all about changes and modifications.
First thing I did, I took off my R-design OEM spoiler off the trunk which btw. is for sale.
Second ? coming up

well yeah... static is supposed to be static, not mechanically dropping whenever I want it. I mean, you decide on a ride height and you drive it all around even if you smash your oil pan. I highly recommend getting a steel splash guard because.. you never know. he also said that he is driving at around like that but raised his car for the road because he wasn't sure about potholes and stuff. I'll go with that " myeah, i'll believe you " thing. anyway, I modify my car after my tastes not for prizes and cups but if i earned them then please, by all means, pass it over here).

thank you for the kind words ! I had to do a lot of stuff to get that fitment. I cut my rear fenders and I "rolled" or better said I have a friend and his name is Tom but people know him as hammer. so I hammered the fenders in the front to be that smooth. The paint didn't crack on the front fenders but the rear arches need definitely paint.

and this is what arrived yesterday, sadly only one piece because the other one I guess is somewhere lost. thank you MNIWT for the info on the lock braces, I will try them out once I get the other piece and see if that will clear that annoying error when I'm on 19" and drive around.

I decided on the color which I will paint hopefully the volvo till next year. Untill then I have to find myself an R-design OEM kit.

because the exams are around the corner I'm trying my best no to work on the car till after the finals, it's really hard because I already know what to do next)

little teaser : exhaust pipe, intake, oil change, clutch with kevlar and hardened pressure plate, new headlight lens (because I think it's better to buy new ones than getting them refurbished - it's only a thought by now )
