Looking nice, can't wait to see the skirts on!

thanks aimes, yeh i cant wait either, got another little interior mod coming once its back, just a touch of paintwork to living the inside up a little, around the speedo and round the aircon controls etc.... all going anthrecite, kinda like the beeaza fr's and that. mines is all plain black and looks boring so the black against anthrecite should look good i think. just got my spare front s logo painted antthrecite as i think i will use that instead of chrome.

I noticed you said you're looking to get your wheels refurbed. Have you tried Carrick Engineering (in the industrial estate behind Prestwick airport) ? I've used them twice before with my previous car (vectra sri). They charged me £45 a wheel to have the tyres removed, the wheel stripped and then powder coated and then the tyre re-fitted and then the wheels balanced. The wheels i had done were 19" and they made a great job of them. I reckon they'll charge about £40 a wheel if not less and i'd recommend them to anyone in the area.;)

From Lanark mate. Knew the place would be close to you.
Where you getting your wheels done? And how much you paying a wheel (If you don't mind me asking) as my 4 wheels all had some light scuffing when i bought the car and i'm thinking about getting the wheels done when i'm away on holiday- depending on price.
Currently got standard FR wheels on.
