Yes the wheels will be getting changed as soon as I find the set I want. Although they are proving to be a b!tch to find!
I want some impul sillouhette's and I will get them mirror polished. But until I find some these will stay on but I will get the faces polished as they are diamond cur ATM.
I won't go down the bbs,th,porsche road,while they look nice I'd rather be a but different.
I'd also go fir some RH ZW1's.

Well boy's here it is.Daz sent me some pics on wednesday but i didnt post them up as i wanted to get it back and get it built up 1st.

Here are the pics he sent me.






This is it when it arrived.



This is it after a few hours of VERY carefull reassembly!



























I have a few trim clips and bits and bobs to buy as the old ones arnt a perfect fit which just wont do!
Still got silly amounts to do but i have tomorrow off work so i can get another 14+ hours on him.
One main job to do is drop him again as i raised him up to help the bodyshop lads!

I can't recommend Daz enough.If you want anything doing his details are on the sticker on Potters rear screen pic.He is very helpful and down to earth.

I will update as i go along.
As you can imagine i have a permanent chubby atm. :evil:

Looks absolutely mint mate, hope your happy with the job! Lovin the clear lights against the shine off the paintwork. Some nice new rims and it will look (from the outside at least) like a brand spanker! Well done.  :wink: :drool:
