lol ye i like the xxr's and i like the rota grids but which one is better hmm there is only one way to find out



lol seriously though it will all come down to funds ha and what comes up at the right time for the right price

I think the xxr are slightly cheaper Craig but the rota grids are everyone's fave over the two. Will need a little arch rolling for wider wheels but the look will be amazing. Can't wait for the rubbish weather to disappear so I can get mine back on lol

Well today's sit rep spent 10 hours yesterday fitting the front brakes 2 pistons had seized so had to strip both calipers and replace 2 pistons and seals then today I snapped a bolt in the rear caliper broke a easy out and titanium drill bit trying to get it out so it's never coming out so now I'm on the look out for a new rear caliper so all in all a right PITA

Well yesterday I got a new rear caliper fitted all bled up and now my handbrake needs adjusting as the shoes and touching the disc and making a right racket doh!! Lol so will try doing that later but here is what the front looked like before




And after Deffo look better just gotta wait to sort the rear before I can start bedding them in and the calipers all need painting again lol

Have you thought about getting your arches rolled with your new wheels? If so, i'm thinking about it soon myself and might be able to start a group buy from arch enemy, I guess the more people the better the value.

Small edition made today courtesy of matty@polepositon cheers mate were well needed as my tesco specials did my head in as they kept moving

craigybaby

iTrader: (8)

Small update I've had a few bits powder coated I picked some of them up today I'm very happy with the results think it will look much fresher



Also brought a new set of bushes as I weren't happy with the fitment of the last set


That's all for now will keep updating when I fit and get more bits

craigybaby

iTrader: (8)

Well fitted the arb /arb couplings and strut brace and added a little sticker that came with the bushes looks much better imo pain with the couplings though as I think the heat from the powder coating process changed the shape of them it was like they were to long so had to gently bend them back with a vice but all seems fine now just need to get the H brace on now
