So much for saving money!!
Was planning on not spending any more money on the car for a few months, after the FMIC, turbo, de-cat and Remap.
But then seen the deal on the Group Buys for the Rota wheels from Midland Wheels at £595 for 18" with toyo tyres i had to have a set. Tarmac's in Gun Metal Grey. You can't really have 18's with out lowering the car a bit so i had to order a set of Eibach Springs from Revolution for £124.99. Bargin.
Should all be here tommorow, wheels will be by tomorrow night, springs after christmas
Now i just need some Brembos a P1 splitter and Spoiler and the car is finished, hopefully i'll be able to resist these for a bit.

"The car is finished", the words I keep resighting all the time. I'm fooling myself!!

Just recieved and fitted these beauties, and note the Godspeed discs as well.... However the £900 bill from CVC for a 30K service and a few bits and peices was a bit of a shocker... especially at this time of year.. All in a good cause tho.. Happy Xmas
Cheers Paul

Wheels turned up today, they were the wrong ones, sent the Redlines (same as NoCatSTI's), phoned them and they were very good about it, very apologetic, gave me the choice of sending them back or keeping them and getting the £30 it would cost them to post each way.
Tried one on the car and liked it so decided to keep the redlines, had trouble deciding which ones to order anyway.
Spring are here and going on Thursday, hopefully.

Thanks SSS that garage has taken over a year and a half to build, but its lookin good now. Got a fantastic deal on an electric roller door from a guy called Neil from the Newport area.... But it has taken ages (the garage)... always takes way longer than you think...
But the good news is i will be able to come out to runs and meetings in the new year...
Cheers Paul
