Problem will be finding a good used set in 15"s. Wont be buying new as i want them repainted..

I like the S wheels but i like those too so they will kept as spare/winter next year.

S wheels do weigh a awful lot though not that it matters so much as it's a daily lol.

Lighter brakes/wheels :D :P

Prickle 28th October 2013 23:22

Cleaned it finally... Also jacked it up to keep ontop of the underside. Pleased to see it's still gooood. ;) she's near 91k now.













Sky during - not bad.

Love this car! Surprised you haven't colour coded the grill?

j40mek 28th October 2013 23:48

Car looks nice

LSOfreak 29th October 2013 00:05

good idea on the underside

any after shots?

BIG 29th October 2013 04:46

Looking good dude!

Jamie 29th October 2013 09:12

Take it you dried the underneath afterwards?

I never cover vast areas like that at once and always make sure it's dry so it doesn't rust.

Looks so good for nearly 100k miles, very clean. Love the exhaust too. I had a supersprint on my old VTR, loved the tone it had and the angle of the tailpipe.

craig180 29th October 2013 10:11

Looking good as ever.

I'd get that up on some ramps, give the underside a good de-grease and clean. Then rub down the bits of surface rust and blather the fook out of it with some black waxoyl.

Time for the toothbrush and Tardis treatment :-)

Clean and free of moisture retaining muck beats bodge it waxoyl any day Craigy, shame on you for suggesting it ;-)

I'd personally not buy a car if it was waxoyld (unless from factory) I'd just think some kid had tried to hide rot.

I will do.

Since it's been bumped i'm going to pass on the pricey calipers @ £600 and go for 406 Brembo's and repaint them Yellow.

:P


Cam 19th November 2013 23:55

The sticker on sun visor is epic ha!

Prickle 19th November 2013 23:56

I dont want any on the car and the viser was the next best place. Plus drivers infront will see it all the time :D haha.
