got a few bits done this weekend just to tidy it up a bit. refurbed my wheels in black. was going to put a red stripe round edge but i got half a wheel done (took me ages) and changed my mind. also took the red show cage out and got rid of my tow stickers, painted my calipers red. also neatend up my bump strips. painted them all in satin black. did it the cheating way but still turned out ok. removed my fogs and fitted my strut brace, big changes and plans over the next month or so so will be doing my progress thread propperlly from now on

Nice clean ride mate, but im not sure bout the wheels, personally i would buy some VTR wheels and spray them black. Looks really good though!

TIPSY · 17th May 2009, 23:49

cant believe you sprayed it on your drive and didnt cover the rest of the car lol

Steve · 11th June 2009, 12:13

25mm Rear arb for just road use is a no no, will probably just crash it in the wet...

You have too much money.
