the paint is a flip purple blue red with pink metalflake sprayed over the top, i have the entire set of pics on the net somwhere ill have a look took many layers to get it to the desired finish, smoothed doors means door handles taken off and the s badge on the boot removed and filled in.

gice Jake a call at WWW.PANELCARE.CO.UK im sure hell give you a very reasonable price.

How do you enter through the back doors and into the boot?

i have a popper on the boot and until some morwe solonoids arrive in stock you have to open the back door from the inside, no big deal really as i dont have rear passengers

answers on a poscard for the size

 

[Feel]

Either they're 17" and you have teeny weeny hands, or

They must be light for you to have to hold them down to take pictures?

 

[RickC]

it was just for a size indication, i had nothing else to put against it,

no not 17s

 

[Mr Roboto]

Are they 20"

 

[RickC]

not as much as you may think, haggled down for a great price with lockers and chrome valves thrown in too, went for nankangs as i have them on my 19s and i cant fault them one bit, these also have a rim protector on the tyre wall so will be good for the girlfriend,
