That is a mint example mate looks very tidy:thumb:

Thank you. It is very very clean. I like to look after my cars to the very best standard as if it was brand new. Happy with the condition of it. Cannot wait for new wheels.

What inch have you gone for and width pal out of curiosity ??

Hi and welcome to the forum. That is a very good looking example you have there, where did you buy it from? I have the very same car with only 19K on the clock, they do look great don't they. I'm only 10 miles from Doni so may see you around at some point:thumb:

What snow foam do you use? Ive never seen it sit as thick as that.

Very clean! I've no doubt RS_Matt has banged one out over it already.

Also interested to know what snow foam you use. It almost looks 'too' thick, as if it just sits on the car?

Hi guys thanks for comments...

My brother did it for me he uses Autobrite blue magifoam, he rinses car before hand then Applys the foam.

225/40/18 for the tyre size and wheels are 18 X 8j

Yes mate not far I may look into meets am new to this forum so need to get to grips of it :)

It's gna look monstrous :thumb:

Thanks pal, that's the aim ;)

I don't want a lot of massive power I like abit of power and I like it to look mint and bodywork I take pride in.

Keep us updated:thumb:

Will do mate. It prob be next weekend now when my alloys are on and my plate and hopefully splitter also :)

Out of interest, why did you pick the first 'mechanical' upgrade to be the front drop links?
Where they worn or are you looking for a handling tweak?

Driver side one is shot so makes sense replacing both mate

A very tidy example,looks like your going to take care of it properly.Good Stuff:thumb:.SJ.

Thanks bud. Yes mate. Like to proper look after my cars any little thing needs doing gets replaced and always cleaned with proper products. Hate it when people don't look after them. Was so frustrating looking for cars and bodywork was poor or poorly looked After in general.

Evening all.

Well update is here ��

1/2/16 New Front Drop links
4/2/16 New Alloys fitted and Tyres
4/2/16 New Front Plate Fitted

Overall am very happy think it looks loads better and am looking forward to more updates

Any comments welcome good or bad

Both ways still looks mint now don't go doodling it:thumb:

I'm about 70/30 in favour of the standard alloys. I think special editions should be kept standard looking.

Doodling?

The alloys was kerbed mate and tyres was cheap and nasty and had terrible tyre noise.
It was either refurb and get good tyres or do what I have and I always liked the these kind of wheels on scooby.

I also like the anthracite better than the gold.

Looks better mate :thumb: Gold wheels are the opposite to classy for me

Cheers mate. I like it. Think it looks really nice

Picking me new splitter up tomorrow so hopefully fit it tomorrow if not it will be Saturday :)

Sorry dude I ment graphics/stickers etc as it looks beauty as is and the gold wheels did look mint on the pics as do the new ones:thumb:

Looks a fantastic car mate, I do miss my spec C blob

Love the wheels. What are they?

;)

oops sorry!

Looks spot on with the new wheels.

Looks good fella, although I think I prefer it with the standard wheels if I'm being honest.

Thanks for comments good or bad. Everyone taste is different. I am over the moon with the car.
