I'm not sure I'm liking it too be honest. The wheels that is, just my opinion though. Rest of the car looks wicked mate. :afro:

Haha, well I was thinking about it last night and realised how much I actually use my rear wiper so gonna leave it all me thinks!

Ok, another little update!

Bought Khare's A-Level design project from him, so set about fitting that! Took a few hours to dismantle various bits of trim/dash, wire it all up and re-assemble my interior, but it looks pretty good and does the job!





Also I gave the car a good clean including the new wheels (which are a right b!tch to clean)  :grin:

A better pic of the wheels, ignore the bolt covers, they will be sorted soon enough  :wink:


And a few more of the car in general:







Spacers are needed for the rears so badly, keeping my eye out for a cheap set!

Easy enough to sort, you should find that the little covers over the nuts that hold the spolier on are the right size to blank the holes if you push them back through.

Nice install that... still loving the wheels.... bargain!..... the other halfs dad is going to check that place out now...  mine will have to wait...

Your car is looking very tidy.. hope you find the spacers you're after soon, that will really sort it out with those wheels on.
