You'll also need jubilee clips if the charge pipe hasn't been off before as it might still have its single use OEM jobbies.

Thanks mate, front will be down soon as i get thru MOT


Suj- couple of the adaptors where wrong, well the studs where a little out, thats all we are in talks about what we are doing about it, other two are perfect tho good shout

 

[suj]

wrong in what way? wrong pitch on the studs (M12x1.5 for mercs, did they do m14x1.5 by accident or something?

 

[drka-drka]

Yeah two of them are a diffrent fittment from the other two. But shouldnt be a massive problem think they are just gonna make me two new ones.

Also just got some of my samco toys thru, engine bay goodies and also had to order EBC yellowstuff pads

 

[suj]

Oh sweet, good they are rectifying it, they are good guys tbh.

Do you have to send the old ones back? if not let me know the size, might be interested in them (if M14x1.5 for my Audi wheels)

 

[drka-drka]

Not really an update more of a backdate as iv had crappy 3 internet now iv got a sky wireless router my internet seems to let me upload pics now.

1st up THE WHEELS!!!! Some better pics

carbon fibre merc badges

Fronts 8.5 x 18

Rears 9.5 x 18

I orginally had these adaptors, 2 were custom made 18mm wide and the other 2 are FK 15mm wide

Needed to get short wheel bolts so i ordered some standard ones and had them cut by bolt king in telford they did a awsome job sorting me out

New valve caps yooo

Picked coilovers up too, KW v2s Inox lines from George 3G iv got 3 of them on both rears and one front just waiting on getting some new parts till i fit the last coily

 

[drka-drka]

Also some wind deflectors.....cuz i was bored and seen them on bay

BOOOOOOO,some new discs and pads paid for and awaiting fitting

Then some LED number plate bulbs and some random pics of back slammed

 

[KatCowie]

Loving the valve caps!!!!

 

[drka-drka]

Pretty fecking funky aint they.lol

 

[KatCowie]

Good taste Derek, they are awesome. Really hope you get the remaining coilover on and the Alphards back on after MOT

 

[drka-drka]

yeah i will get all that done.....when i cba and stop playing cod and drinking.lol

 

[KatCowie]

Well get your ass in gear!!

 

[Al]

Have you dropped that further at the rear? The rear wheel seems to be creeping further forward.

 

[drka-drka]

lol pass its way more fun getting drunk than fannying around with cars, esp since every fecking bolt it solid!!!

Oh pads arrived today just gotta collect the morn too

 

[KatCowie]

Need to get that jack point cover done too lol

 

[drka-drka]

Nope back is at same place it been since i did the rear coilovers...all the way down at the back, not to much scrubbing tho

 

[drka-drka]

Need to get that jack point cover done too lol

And the scabby wings too

 

[KatCowie]

Al, it's because the Alphards are stretched, the R alloys make it look lower as they are not.

Ah bad times, shouldn't be too bad. If your not in any hurry use the bodyshop I'm using lol! Have a look at mine when it's done, see what you think.
