nice work! hubs can be a PITA too!

your's is starting to look like Nick's old valver ;) :lol:
Cheers mate, hardest bit of hubs was getting the two screws out, thankfully my mate gave my his spare punch.

Funnyly enough it was going to look at nicks car for sale that made me want those wheels, now there on Im thinking of spraying them gold or black cant decide yet got a few bits to do first.

The bloke at tyre place jokingly asked how much i wanted for my old wheels while i was there, I said £75 because thats what i paid for the Jordens, he just called me askin if i can drop them off tomorrow should of said £100 :roll: but cant go back on offer now and atleast it gets them out of way

cheers walsh, but i fitted one on thurday :lol:

Went to Bradford and picked one up off Cue, also got a new rear and front bumper with black bump strips, my rear one has red strip at moment which is annoying me.

New parts I'm thinking: Front and rear lips, new induction pipe, paint my rocker red, de wiper back so need a plug, maybe some strut braces and new seats :D

Actually what condition is your bonnet? this one has a tiny bit of rust on front (classic spot for honda near badge) so might be interested I quite fancy the bonnet pins aswell

Havn't thought about the spoiler yet. I've got a new rear bumper with a black bump strip ill be putting on soon, want to find front and rear lip then I'll see how the spoiler blends in and decide then.

What about wing mirrors? black or red?
