If you're looking for winter wheels, my Fox wheels will be going dirt cheap. you just need tyres as im keeping them for my S wheels. Looking for £40 for them if you're interested? only up the road aswel

Cheers matey, glad to see people have seen it in the magazine, are still checking out my progress thread, and are appreciating the work gone into the car.
As for the car at the moment, its looking pretty sorry for itself.
It's on its winter wheels which consist of 3 fox 5 spokes and a vtr wheel (as it was on before the work was done.
The BBS's are currently in peices in my living room while i re polish them as the road dirt had kind of got the better of the polished sections, but they appear to be coming up ok.
One front rim will need replacing due to a small kurbing mark thoug (doh!).
The exterior of the car is pretty much as good as done now, but this is nowhere near the end of this project.
We have come up with some really exciting ideas for the car to get done next year, but it just all depends on finances.
Not sure if I'll be doing progress posts on the next stage or just post a picture of it when completed but I assure you if we do what we are planning it'll be something very special.

Cheers for looking, hopfully more to come in the new year

I must admit my car did look rather out of place compared to all the others but still did manage to grab a few peoples attention.



Also loving the number on the rear window, kind of goes with the look of the car.



Anyways, I only got 1 run does as it was rather busy there but was rather impressed with it!
