Why are you refurbing the originals if you are buying new wheels? Doubt you will make the money back by selling them?

me and my mate have then got to fit the GSi kit - getting sprayed this week
GSi fog lights wired up
Metal arches chopped right out and sealed
-60mm lowering springs to buy and fit
Electric window motors, doorcards and switches fitted - I've now bought them, fitting next weekend
Calipers and drums painted maybe a light gold
If I feel adventurous boot install will be retrimmed in vinyl
New Mille Miglia centre caps with silver writing if I can get hold of some!
I'm in with a chance 
Suddenly had a thought yesterday that I might not be able to get my car up the drive once its down 60mm and has the GSi bumper on. So took my car down to the entrance and measured the clearance from the bottom of bumper to the ground at its closest point... got about 40mm clearance as I am now Good job those GSi splitters are bendy as I'm thinking its going to be pretty close

Yes, I am gay, I'm having it re-sprayed Glacier white rather than having it Polar white.
