Sorry wheels are not Skoda. Fiat ones are 98 pcd.
These ones I think are from an early Seat Ibiza 1.5 with the Porsche inspired engine. They were ltd edition. I had the same design, but in aluminium. The magnesium ones were very rare.

decided to bite the bullet the text above relates to the removal of 1 leaves from the front spring to lower the car and it appears to have worked, I can get it 1cm lower by cutting down the alloy isolater blocks between the body and the spring but I'm more or less happy with it now and it may settle abit yet.. anyway- picture for your delectation-   |

(bumperless). centre mount the steering coloum and drivers seat. bring the gearchange/ hand brake over to the left. and have me a single seater. |
