Question Have you ever wondered.........

What a 1988 Nissan Micra would look like wearing 15" BBS alloys



Strangely I hadn't either

Until this little gem fell into my possession;




The donor car isn't overly bothered, as it's more than happy with it's new rims

Funnily enough, I do have an arch kit for a Mk1 GTi tucked away in the garage somewhere

Who says you can't polish a turd

Get one of those white Toblerone things with a big red "L" on it for the roof. Should be amusing.

Threw the tape measure over a couple of things yesterday

1. The engine bay and suspension legs, and,

2. The bored and stroked 1.6L Mk1 Golf GTi engine and Mk2 Driver gearbox that just happen to be sitting in my garage

Spider, I only put the wheels on for a laugh, but they've stayed there because I think it does look cool, in a cheesy kinda way
