[Coops Mk1]

I didn't, too low and wheels stuck under the arches too far but its going back on 15's soon, the cup rims are just for it to sit on in the meantime!

oh, also done the fresh plates thing too with the smaller front one

[Coops Mk1]

[Dave..]

STILL working out the MOT failure sheet?

 

[Dave..]

All it failed on was the headlight level sensor, and a rear suspension arm! I'm getting them to sort the abs though since its been pissing me off!

 

[Coops Mk1]

only those, bill of 8 grand thought still
i'm away all weekend mate anyway and no real rush is there, not like the beans going to see daylight anytime soon with the german barge sapping all the cash

 

[Coops Mk1]

some more bits showed up,

got hold of some genuine speedline Williams wheels with caps and some spare bullets

got the lot painted in BMW Sparkling Graphie Grey Metallic

got to leave them for a week to cure fully as they are literally out of the oven atm, tyres will be 195/50 R15 Michelin PE2's that I have sat on stock in the shed

also bought some polarised bolts to fit with them

cheers

Ben

That's the attitude drop me a text when you decide dude.

 

[Harpham]

How much do LW charge for alloy refurbs out of interest?

Car will look wicked with those on and the new bolts

 

[marky1]

They will look mint on the RB.

 

[Coops Mk1]

I paid 65 a wheel plus blasting, so they aren't cheap

Not a bad price IMO.

Quality > Cost.

 

[The Boosh!]

Yum!

 

[Coops Mk1]

hoping they may out do UYN on the anthracite turinis Luke mate, although with less lows it may not quite work.....

 

[The Russian.]

[Coops Mk1]

[Stefan.]

Wheels look spot on! Love the colour and finish!

 

[Coops Mk1]

And shiny bolts to go with the wheels

 

[Coops Mk1]

sneaky peak, better pics to follow

 

[Gray]

Oh you ***** x

 

[Coops Mk1]

You love it treacle

 

[Harpham]

That does look epic.

 

[Coops Mk1]

had to fettle about with the exhaust to get it to stop banging, and its still not perfect.

i'm determined to keep it sticking out slightly on the bumper though, I cant stand the flush fit look.

so far I have adjusted the rear mounts back as far as they will go and checked clearance over the rear beam and that all seems well so I think the centre section is knocking somewhere. the exhaust sits so far back from standard fit that the hangar on the centre section doesn't reach the rubber so its not hanging on anything = not ideal.

the clamps I've used are all a bit old and creaky as well so I think i'll remove the centre section again, weld a longer hanger on it and get some new clamps to refit.

 

[Rob]

Yes! Tyres look a bit chunky there though?

 

[Coops Mk1]

usual 195/50 R15 fit I always use chap, a bit chunky for some but I'm not a 45 profile fan on 15" wheels, look like ribbons imo. its possible the spacers are a bit much with the et37 wheels rather than stock et43

I may have to put the car back on coilovers however to get it sat right

 

[Rob]

Why would you ever take it off coilies? :rasp:

 

[Coops Mk1]

because they fell apart within 2 months of buying the car, cheap ktec quality

 

[Coops Mk1]

Right, bit more progress today

bought some new clamps for the janspeed and fettled with the rear mounts again. its still banging on something at the rear when I reverse but otherwise I think I've cracked it

bit more tinkering and I may be able to keep the fit on the rear bumper without any issues but its not quite there yet!

then set about with a quick wash and an iron x in prep for some polish and wax action later this week if the weather holds

some better shots of how its sitting on the willy wheels and snap of the tpi bolts too

anyway, pics!

clamps:

exhaust fit to the bumper, can just read the janspeed branding

iron x action

tpi bolts against the new wheels

and clean car
