Fantastic work... Looks like new.  :cool:

MOT fail on the lack of side repeaters though no?

Thanks! And hense why the wings weren't on for the MOT ;) I will be relocating the side repeaters somewhere, but I don't know where yet......... Maybe into the bumper, American reflector stylee :)

Just mount some small ones on the mirror  :smiley:

If I could fine a way to make it look OEM then maybe.....

Just a word of warning when deleting side repeaters, if you only have them for MOT and you're involved in an accident, and the insurance company find out/ other person says that they didn't see your signal, you may be pumped. They don't need much of an excuse not to pay out at the best of times. That and traffic cops road side inspections can throw a spanner in the works. Perhaps a spare set of wings?

Aside from that slightly mumsy warning, sterling work there :cool:



Yeah, I have thought about either keeping my old rusty wings or buying a new set. However, I intend to relocate them sooner rather than later so it should be OK :)

And cheers !

I am considering selling my Porsche Cups to fund these.......

and run 8's up front with 10mm spacers and 9's out back with 20mm hubcentrics, colour code the centres red and wrap them all in 195/40/16 Toyo Proxes...............

What do you guys think?

What is the quality gonna be like though??? U should easily be able to pick upa set of borbet As for that price, and U'd go with flat centre caps. theyre wierd, kind of a mix between borbets and modern line splits! They do look quite good, but as said, its just a question of quality for that price.  :undecided:

I do love the cups, but I really want to run some 9's on the back for that perfect stance!
