Thanks mate

Called round your gaff earlier as Bryan is after some foglights & I didn't know if you'd sold your old ones or not?

Thanks guys The spoiler is admittedly not everyones cup of tea but I think it looks pretty good. Looks better in the flesh. Also for £90.00 when it's already painted the same colour as my car was a bargain I just couldn't let go

Markus - Dunno if Brian is coming but I can drop them off at his gaff for you He said that he'll give you some money for them as you know what happend to his don't you? Sold them on the assumption he was getting some more but when he went to collect the person had already sold them to someone else!! He was a bit [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] & currently doesn't have any. Looks a bit weird

SJ - 18" Not even i'm that lucky

Thanks Markus

Yep two sets of gold 16's but the silver 18's are miles nicer You can't see it that well from the pics but the edge of the rim is a kind of crome effect Pain in the *** whilst cleaning as I have to shammy my wheels One advantage of six spokes & small brakes though is that I can get the sponge in there & clear all brake dust whenever I clean them so they never get dirty A wee bit **** I know but its worth it

So the pix of the wheels, are they rear brakes?

You have to take a slight detour to the tunnel, but it's worth it

Maffa,
Mate is is looking much better... I like the spoiler and the wheels are a massive and I mean massive improvement over the orginal ones!

So now clear indicators, smoked side repeaters. Then lower lip, side skirts and rear diffuser. Then tints and after that I will think of something else for you! Oh an internal high level brake light!

****'s sake Mark!!! Run out of things to spend your money on & now you want to spend mine

There's actually some smoked side repeaters & rear lights for sale in the "for sale" section that i'm tempted by but don't think I can afford [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] Interested in those bonnet vents though

Ignore the bonnet vents and sort out the tango advert that is the plastic on your car!!!

I haven't finished on my car by a long stretch!

I've got a set of lowering springs but I really don't want to use them as the offset on those wheels is 48 & if it goes any lower (without the use of extremely stiff coilovers) i'm gonna shred my tyres on the arches if I hit a big bump or ever have anyone in the back. It actually sits very low anyway because of the two subs boxed in the boot but it does make the front sit slightly high.
