fitting the spring wasn't to bad but you do have to remove the brake lines to get the struts off so you have to bleed your brakes when you put it back together and you have to make sure that you line the strut tops up but other than that it was easy

New wheels are top

I'm surprised you changed them to be honest, I don't think that there is that much of a difference between the two.
I'd have like to see the top set re-sprayed in black. That could have looked good.

Very nice mate. Wasn't sure myself wether to go gunmetal or silver, but seeing those wheels, I think my mind may now be made up.

new wheels look good but i do like the 16's in black

smoked side repeaters would make the profile look much cleaner too...you should post on the wagon thread too
