Remember to keep some money aside for arch work and tyres if those are the wheel specs you want.

haha yeah you could say that! it's going to be a long project and I want some wheels to start things off. was reading PVW today and their project 4 play took 10 years to build lol

Right well I'm getting even closer now because I've now put on a gold cap and gold bolts. I have two tabs open I'm that close to buying.

Am I having a mid life crisis at 24?  :laugh:

 won't be on till summer  :wink: I can get wheels and tyres with that, but with the spec I want now I can't get tyres at the same time, but that doesn't matter yet.
I know someone that will do my arches cheap, thank god

Step 1: make sure everything is running as it should, serviced engine, ok brakes and pads, etc.
Step 2: lower it
Step 3: wheels
Step 5: lower it some more
In between the above you can fit in other details like head+tail lights, arch trim or not, colour coded trim or textured, etc..
Calm down old boy, gold bolts are way down on the priority list  :grin:

The car is staying OEM But I'm going to delete the front number plate recess

I would see what is around s/h as to me £2k is nuts for wheels and tyres.

You could make it go a lot faster for that.
