I Would do but it managed to get overspray on it, so its gonna have to be sprayed anyway.

Was thinking of doing the top and bottom grills painted same colour as the car. Or do we think keep them black?

Cars in the garage, £85 to fit the tyres onto the wheels, and fit the suspension kit *Thanks goes to Gary at Rimstyle*

Pics to follow after 5pm when I pick it up... All excited I am..

Bam! Sorry about pic quality, it was getting dark by time I got home...

I clear the edge of my driveway by 5 mm... And its got to settle abit yet So that could be a problem!

The car is dirty as hell, will wash it tomoro, as are the tyres with all the muck they got on them from fitting them to the rims.

The center caps before you ask, they dont fit due to the hub poking thru the middle by about 4mm ... due to the offset being 45 i assume. So if anyone has some nice blank centre caps that would fit Id like them very much

Otherwise ill just see what the garage say when i go back next week to get it tracked.

Very pleased with it, alot smoother than my worn out suspension from before, also I feel every crack in the road now

looking good..

Is it not the bearing grease covers that are stopping the centre caps going on?
If so just take them...I had to do it with my ET45 Masitaly's and speedlines.

Well the front one has no cover, tried to get one one but it just wasnt happening due to some bolt coming thru the bearing, not sure what that is tbh im not that mechanically minded.

Ill have another look tomoro in better light


Was having a play in photoshop, this is what it could look like very soon
