I bought the wheels from someone off here, but sent them off to bandedsteels.com to get banded. still waiting for them back. today is the day hopefully

how much they charge to do that?

£400 ish

F*cking hell!

Nice car

You've just spammed that on so many progress threads, I hope they get classed as spam.

rear end of this is really nice! i dislike crazy bodykits and people claiming 'its different' . . . its done! this looks really OEM, but subtle, i like alot.

thanks mate, watch this space, I get it back from body shop next week hopefully so it's all gonna happen at once.

early morning update.

I got my wellers back from being banded last Friday, and I'm really pleased with how they've turned out:



and as my car is in the body shop getting ready for BHP Show, I managed to get VT_Kris round to let me test fit my wheels on his car. bare in mind that his car isn't lowered yet.





Turns out I need a t least a 5mm spacer to clear the brakes.

I also started work on my new dust caps.



the picture quality is crap but let me know what you think anyway

Wheels are going to look wicked when they're on!!

I can't wait lol. dropping them off at the powder coaters on Saturday. I'm still not sure about how much poke they will have. I dont want to run the risk of
going too wide and being pulled by the po po everyday.

I'll have your boot for you on the weekend too

Well they look flush on vt-kris car so with a 5mm spacer and a bit of stretch they will be perfect i reckon.
And i'd completely forgotten about the boot lol, cheers man

ye I spose. I'm only going for 185/50/14 tyres too so there won't be a monumental amount of stretch. if need be I'll widen the arches a tiny bit too.

what u doing about the 50mm spax kit u got offered then?

Wheels look like they will have a decent amount of poke tbh mate! The trooper dustcaps should look smart as well :y: Look forward to seeing the car out the body shop!

Ahh fair enough, im not a fan of massive stretch anyway tbh! And yeah you could always pull the arches a bit, krisb did mine on my old car.

Ermm im guessing you mean the ones from the guy local that commented on my progress thread? I messaged him asking how much he wants etc, they've barely done any miles apparently but im pretty skint at the moment, dont get paid until 26th either. So i set i'll drop him a message on the 26th to see if he's still got them and we'll go from there.

I think you should definitely go for the spax kit when you get payed. like you said before you don't wanna go completely slammed so it's a perfect kit

Yepp, i'll see if i've got the money after i've paid my dad what i owe him. Its an apex sport kit btw. Gonna do some money saving and see if i can raise some funds before next pay day.

nice, any chance of lows before BHP?

Naa theres no way i'll have the money for the suspension kit andddddd paying krisb to lower it all.

lol just get some really big side skirts and bumpers to make it look low then
