--chris

 

[leeds_182]

The Gaz ones from GDI - gonna be here tommorow if the couriers get their fingers out!!

 

[Fred@BTM]

could a 182 look any better ? thats truly awesome.. ok maybe coilovers then its time to spend money on some decent engine stuff

 

[BillyBhoy]

Nice exhaust pipes.

Cant go woring with team dynamics wheels m8. I have the pro race 1s in anthracite. Are those the 1.2s?

Thers far too much profile on those tyres though but will look better once slammed.

 

[Rich_16v]

Did you not keep your original tyres on or were they on the limit?

I like the wheels and as people say above they are light but i dont know how long those tyres will last with some spirited driving

 

[dutty_112]

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM... fookin niiiice mate!! need sh*t loads of tyre black tho lol..

 

[leeds_182]

Yeah, I know those tyres are gash - my gf bought me the wheels though so I didnt wanna push my luck and ask for the tyre upgrade!!

Will probably swap em back for the exaltos when I can be arsed.

I didnt just get them for the weight fred- i actually thought they looked quite good but each to their own.

As for my next modifications I think thats about it for the exteria when I get the coilovers on. Was gonna go for a carbon bonnet but having seen some at FCS im not too sure.

Gonna get a panel filter sorted out and see if that Renault Sport ECU is any good when it arrives.

(Then probably sell the car, lose about 6 grand and feel depressed...........)

16s mate as Tom says and they are budget tyres - am I hoping to swap em for my exaltos when I get the time. TBH I dont really drive like a lunatic all that much so the handling is more or less the same but when I push it a little those tyres just bend over and say "BUM ME" straight away.

Gonna be swapping them over for the exaltos soon - they just came with the alloys (which were a present off my g/f so couldnt be too fussy.......)

[leeds_182]

[Leeshez]

[leeds_182]

Just the standard cup pack alloys but im holding on to them for when I sell thew car.
