Looked awesome at Edition dude. Kept going back for a look all day on sat as it looked so good on the image wheels.

image rims are getting split this winter for a proper polish!

thinkin of black anodising the wheel bolts :)

unfortunately the judges didnt take note on the wheel setup!!

I brought them from a guy called stuart indeed ;)

I would also love them polished haha as thats how they always come! someone before stuart spent the time and money getting these babies crackle satin black! really nice durable finish :) the perfect winter wheel ;)

Looks hard as nails mate. Could do with a bit of stretch tho on the tires.

Hold that thought!! 215/35/18's being fitted once tread worn down on fronts!! ;) rears tuck nicely with mild stretch but most prob end up 215/40/18

Just read through this whole tread.. Amazing looking car good job mate:)

i've seen this car in the flesh @ ed38, it's awesome

Thank guys! I;ve always wanted to do something a lil different!! cant get her any lower and cant really get the wheels any wider with the image rims haha!!

Looking at getting her serviced / MOT'd

new front fk arb fitted and rear spax adjustable dampers fitted this weekend!!

Along with a clicking noise i have after the weekend when i put the power on and off. Sounds driveshaft / cv joint area! we shall see when she goes on the ramps!

One word: Sick!

I want those wheels, they're awesome!

Good job mate, keep it up! :D

Thanks mate!

Hopefully give her a proper wash at the weekend and get some proper photos up.

The brake dust on them seems to go a browny colour which is ramdom!!

Service all done :)

Found out the knocking problem. My Drivers track rod was proper loose!! barely holding the wheel alligned at all! Fotunately new wheels had little tread on them so they're now replaced with 215/35/18 to be able to miss the front arches on lock and full drop!

Will get some more photos up later!! :)

Getting the rear spax adjustable dampers fitted to the back this afternoon.

Perhaps next mod will be a rear white line ARB as i hear good reports.

A short period back in the paint shop to!
- re paint front bumper, maybe some more custom work,
- loose the scratch from rear drivers door.
- Re plastic weld the jacking covers on the fronts! dam speed bumps!

Rear spax dampers all fitted. :) working a treat so can drive with the back much lower.

Front FK antiroll bar is fitted now but with a bit of a struggle!

Got her all jacked up, wheels off, swivel joints undone, sub frame off, new roll bar on all back together.

Then comes to connecting the rollbar, dam thing doesnt line up properly! So a jack was used to tension the rollbar in position to get the bolts done up.

As anyone else fitted the front FK anti roll bar??? I presume the standard drop links are ok to use. drivers side lined up perfect but passengers side was the problem.

Going to phone VENOM motorsport 2moro where i purchased it from and go from there.
