BBS Alloys
« on: 02 January 2011, 15:08 »
Just wanted to say a big thanks to Don_231 for the alloys  :wink:, the car is starting to look as i want her now....next i just need to sort the wing out and pick up my subs, then i can look into lowering kits  :smiley:.
How far can i go before the front valance starts to catch??

Cheers  :laugh:

Thanks for the info guys. I took the car to kwik-fit today as one of the tyres needed re-sitting and it turns out I have 2 punctures on the tyre edges  :angry:. Now my pockets are empty.....still love these alloys though
