I really wanted some 8j's but you carnt get the in the turbo's. I really want to keep the wheels if i can but if it looks poo once the rear arches are wider then ill have to look for borbet a's. The missus has just rang me saying my fk 70mm spacers have arrived :D ready to be fitted for the weekend.

LOL the zonda comments will be being used. :rasp:

Will, once the weathers better we will have to meet up again.

Fitted one headlight today, didnt realise it would be that much of a ball ache. had to take the bumper off, the headlamp infill panel then the headlight had all chopped wires for the angels :mad: so currently all it has is the indicator and headlamp adjuster wired and fitted. Tomorow ill have to wire in new plugs/terminals for the headlight bulbs as i carnt drive at night until i do :eek:. I would of done it today but i dont have ant termanials.
I think it looks loads better, plus will look better once i get my silvervisions. I also removed the ghey grille behind the infill panel.

If you can see your front indicators from the side from a certain distance then no. ;)

only true if the car was manufactured pre 1986 or you have a friendly mot station who over look it.

have you thought about changing the wing mirrors? getting something smaller, maybe chrome?

that's cool, your car. IMO you've done all that work sorting the bodywork out and you're keeping the ugliest part, changing the mirrors would give it a true euro feel. the chrome would work well against the new paint, the bullets would look better but the Porsche style would tie in with the paint.

Keep up the good work and good luck with it. I'll be keeping an eye on it

The first one could possibly look good. Would have to see after the paint really. Some chrome would probably look okay.

You're going so far with the car that I wouldn't just settle for a replica.

I'm surprised etc said no when you phoned as, like I said, they've done it on my old car in the past.

Still too thin for my liking mate, I've been looking at running 15x8s all round and just run 195 rubber to get a light stretch
