thanks for the comments still got a little more work to make them fit 100% noting major, specs are 18x9.75 et 20 with 255 35 18 falken 452. im not going down the flaps route but im tempted to get some prodrive stone deflectors on the front arches but im have trouble coming up with a way of mounting them, i was little apprehensive on how it would drive with them on, once i got the rubbing issues sorted, most of it was down to ride hight, i took it for a good spin and to be honest i cant really tell too much difference, rite quality is the nion the same they dont seem no heavier on steering. and they fill the arches perfectly. now its time to look at front mount and simtek with a few extra goodies thrown in for good measure


anger has bought the bbs's .came up yesterday in his leggy really nice bloke too, i was pretty hungover so didnt get much chance to speak to him lol

yeah you could say i think i was still drunk when he turned up i think they are for his spec c im not sure if im ment to say or not. well next thing on the list is defintaly frontmount not just for performance but i think its missing something on the front, decent induction, may go bigger turbo injectors yet while im doing it, and bit of anti lag and launch control fitted for good measure. i maybe tempted to go for a differnt splitter but not quite sure if thee is anything out there i like

Im not a fan of the colour, the gold on grey is not to my taste, but the wheels look awesome and the car looks great! Any more info on the widebody build?

That would be my only comment too. I would have them sprayed in the Rota dark bronze, or black if it were me! Otherwise, look great fitment!

much appreciated all the nice comment. as for colour i probably agree the reason i went for gold was i thought black maybe too dark and the Matt bronze may not give the same look i thought the gold would make the car stand out also the wheels kind of compliment each other if you know what i mean. however if i were to order again i would of gone matte bronze i prob will change the colour eventually pretty simple fix. what would u like to know about the build graham

I'm not keen on whe wheel/22b bodykit combo, perhaps if they were dark grey or something. But as you say it's your car, I'm just not a fan of the stretched wheels onj tyres look.
