Nice work, for some reason I had stopped getting an e-mail on updates to this thread :?



I am not a big fan of the wheels, but it doesn't put me off the car any, everyone has to have a different style. :D I don't see why some people can't accept this. Anyway, they may look good on yours, I want to see them on properly with tyres before I decide.

Also I would listen to Turtle, he knows what he is on about from what I've seen.


Good work with the film, it should look good on your car 8) , I think orange would look hideous against red though.

I wasn't trying to say you weren't listening, just informing you that the guy knows his stuff.

i dont think i have enough left over to do the whole sidelight...

i prefer just half to be honest - keeps the front end looking wider, and mean.

amber definately looks better on black cars though, no question

I was woken up early today, the door bell didn't stop.

A BusinessPost driver came round with a delivery, quite a big box, I wasn't expecting anything.
So I signed for it, opened it up, and to my surprise....

x2 new front shocks!! :D
I think I received them as I sent them an e-mailing regarding the issue with the dust covers, just a little rant as comunication was poor etc... I never got a reply, but hay-ho, can't complain! Going to get these on when I order some new springs.

Today I also bought some ITR cams for a good price. And my new driveshaft's will be here soon from Streaker. Hoping to get these bits done by Daz, with a few other things.
