The tyres where on another set i had, Put them on as there was good tread on them and the ones that was on the SRI wheels where bald. Should (Hopefully) be getting a set of toyo proxes off a lad at work.

Will be fitting some Irmscher sideskirts once they have been repaired. The came to me with some splits in the paint so have now been sanded down ready to be repainted. Will try and do the door strips at the same time.

Had one of the badgeless ones from supernovas and it looked cheap and nasty. Just looking out for an irmy crosshatch grille going for a decent price!

Looks good and quite a few changes.I have just picked up a 1.4 16v 51 plate LS 4door Mk4.Got a few things planned.Lowering it 1st as its on 17s and standard ride height so looks rather high.lol.Already smoked split and tinted the headlights and done the rear indicator strip red to match the others.

Do you know if the clocks are interchangeable??At the momonet i have the standard black faced dials and have been offered a set of white dial clocks with orange needles out of an 1800 sport.Thing is mines go to 140 but these only go to 130(marked to 120 but have another line for the 130).Need to know if they will work though.Id imagine they would with it being electronic driven.

Also,JohnG what was your lowered by??60/40??

Needs the irmscher skirts or some GSi/Coupe ones, and the bump strips painting.

Looks nice though, for a 5 door.

I think they are interchangeable. As long as you're clocks are configured the same (Both are 140mph clocks) then you should be fine!
