carbon fibre you say..... what are you doing?

ooof! looking good!

thanks! :D the vmaxxs held up pretty well tbh. we went through some back lanes that had a lot of dips in but the car didnt bottom out at all. found the grip an improvement also, but that could be because im on 15s with hankoooks aswell. carbon splitter still intact! :rasp:

thanks for all the great comments guys :D will be doing it again for sure. we was lucky as the traffic wasnt too bad and we had some good runs. a couple of times we had a "sunday driver" in front so we just pulled over for a while. if the roads are free then its ace.

ah mate thats not good. at least your getting it sorted though

the double drifting at 1:55 was cool. crazy spectators didnt even flinch when they got a nats c*ck away from them. crazy!

they look ace mate! not overdone at all. good job i took those "height" pictures before the police came.

haha! cheers mate :D

i forgot you took them. lol! adam, the roads were great. really fancy doing it again in the not too distant future if your up for it.

i can only speak from my experience but i was in exactly the same postion as you recently. wanted to go lower with 15s but only road driving. i came into the hands of some almost new vmaxx's and fitted them last week. first impressions were they did feel more bouncy than what i had on...

Yesterday myself, chris, (One in a million) his gf katie and joe (jrs192) took a drive down to dungeoness. the weather was tip top which made it all the better. :cool...

who lee?

1st spot was ly200 with cup spoiler heading towards m11 roundabout 2nd was rb182 with stripes about 10 cars behind, both seen around 4pm 3rd was another r8182 (no stripes) heading towards old Harlow around 6pm Lastly was an arctic blue 182 near Toby carvery/train station around 9pm

Cheers for all the cool comments guys :D I did have a few fans of my old standard wheels by the looks of things so it's nice to hear feedback whether it be positive or negative. Spoiler has a strip of red tape on the top (originally stolen from banderson) ;) I swapped my old 182 wheels...

cheers al. tbh honest i havent taken it out for a "proper drive" yet as it need to be aligned. as soon as i do i will let you know. chrispy, i know its common but these came up in a good deal and i coudnt turn them down. Cheers guys. :)

I shall order it next week. bit worried as there are many police down my way, but i'll still do it!

would you believe me if i told you i did it first ;) i cant take the credit but it was a great idea. badges would look ace with your red wheels. :)

Re: All Pearl Black's & Black Gold's Look.... now rocking some coilovers and fresh 2118s

cheers guys :) its always nice to receive good feedback. gaz-kev, you could of chose a better pic (lack of tyre shine, unclean :rasp:) adam, i actually prefer the chrome badge....... at the mo! oliver, i wanted it lower but not impractical. i can still get over speedbumps ok so its a win for...

thanks for all the positive comments guys! coilovers of choice are vmaxx's. not too sure how much its lowered by but it sits 110mm from splitter to the floor the ride seems bumpier than sportlines but still soft and comfortable for daily driving.

I picked up my new wheels and coilovers yesterday. Managed to get them all fitted today and im very pleased so i thought i'd give it a quick clean and take some picutres. Hope you all enjoy :) Thanks, Mark.

£210 seems a little much, but i think garages charge i lttile more for fitting if you dont get the tyres from them. i just had some paradas and yes the reviews are spot on. in the dry there is excellent amounts of grip, but in the wet you cant seem to push it as hard as you want. they look cool...

thanks marcus. just trying to do a bit of homework before i dive in. bought some spring compressors the other day and now have all the tools for the job.

thats good to know. ive got a few speed bumps around my street so i can set it, then drive around the block testing ground clearance etc before alignment. i had a local formula one centre do my car recently (lowered on sportlines) with wheel alignment and i thought they did the camber too but...

im going to be fitting my vmaxx coilovers tomorrow. i have never done this before after checking the guide on here it seems quite straight forward. (fingers crossed) once the ride height is sorted and all bolts done up etc it will be aligned. is this something that a normal garage can do...

Re: All Pearl Black's & Black Gold's Look.... my 182 with my now "old" standard wheels. will get some new pics with 2118s on once we've lowered it. :) im in the south east also.

when you have the moneys, do it! looks really cool i think. not sure what i prefer, no exhaust or single exhaust best. both look pretty ace tbh

Re: THE WHALF - DARTFORD - SUNDAY JULY 10TH 4pm i may have something else on but if that goes quiet then im well up for this.

i could be up for this, what time is this on big guy?

yes mate, travelled to newcastle to get them though. but i got them silly cheap so it was worth it. the bloke didnt declare the few scuff on the backs so i got more money off, hence the want to carbon wrap. mike_rs, did you just stanley blade around the edges to get a smooth finish? i normally...
