it is mate! im a pannel beater so body work doesnt concern me can fix it easy!

but something is wrong with either the drive shaft wishbone or something because when i put the wheel on drop the car down and drive the car forward the wheel jus pops forward and moves into the bumper so it makes a horrible scratching noise like metal on metal!

What did you use to do this? im hopefully buying an Albi blue 197 and want the standard wheels but in the anthacite Grey and looks like most refurb places charge around £70 a wheel which is a joke?

Would people recommend DIY or suck it in and pay up?

Also im guessing i would need a base coat then the top spray????? Sorry little bit of a newbie to all this!

Cheers!

Probabaly not the most sensible of ideas to drive around with one side of your car set up differently to the other?

Still, it looks good :)
