Guess £40 loss isn't too bad, alot of people would just said they wouldn't pay back anything.

Sad thing is hes prolly gonna try and flog them again for £200 :(

Mate I'm sure you could have persuaded him to give you all your money back, if i sold you some dodgey stuff and you knocked on my door i would count myself luckey not to have a black eye let alone money haha

way i see it is that i took the coilovers off his car and i quickly checked and i didnt see any problems then i payed him the money! at the end of the day the guy i bought them off could turn round and say you looked at them and you saw what you bought and not give me a penny! so i think £160 is better than nothing!

fitted the new radiator today and fresh coolant and cleaned all the sensors up ect

i am undecided at the mo. Not really into the huge euro look but do like some of the wheels with the dish.

I will reserve judgement until i see it fully finished etc. :)

Good progress though looking forward to seeing end (well it fully sprayed) :clap:

hopefully i will be :D

i think the wheels will look better when the bumpers are on, i think they look too big j wise rather than diameter without the bumpers

With the bumpers on i think it'll look more proportional
