not 100% but do think they do mate
Welcome, another Scottish person :)
I don't think that cage will fit, I may be wrong though.
if i chop the B pillar legs i think it could get it in, dont want to ruin a good cage for nothing though :(
Welcome, and no the cage won't fit without hacking it about.
thats my bubble burst :P dont suppose anyone fancys a set of 14x8'' borbet t's? :P

corsa's are junk so chop the cage if its going to fit :thumb:
a hour or two with a measuring stick should decide if its going to fit.. god loves angle grinders :)

FFS lol Im in Bridge Weir, talk about small world. My daily motor is a yellow S3.
keep it on the borbets, it looked really nice if its the one am thinkin of. the bottom halfs been painted black? i also own a red sr and people keep asking me if i've put those wheels on as they've seen the car about.
I've seen a blue nova kicking about here to, don't have much info on it tho,

i wouldnt fit 2.0 brakes under my wheels :( im thinking about running a single 40 on the SR, bit wilder cam and a 4 speed box :)
You can get alcon 4 pots and discs for 14" wheels but they cost about £1400 lol
That looks cracking, not sure about the wheels but other than that it's definetly a winner

car looks cracking and welcome aboard
pictures dont really show how wide the wheels are in my opinion. I'm also wanting to fit 2.0 brakes but they won't fit under my 14's, its a pain in the ****.
Seen this in paisley area and thought what the....... those wheels look wide when passing in the other direction lol

I loved my old 13sr , because you didn't have enough power to outperform the chassis lol
looks very nice love them wheels
if youre thinking of removing the engine I'll have it off you (providing its solid).
Good to see another scottish member!

Why bother get it on a set off 40s and leave the box its beter than a 4 speed!! Just tune the engine if you want to go faster my sr is fun enough that wears a set of 40s and a few other bits and pieces and i cant stop smiling wile i drive it yours looks good though matey!
