Ah I see

Is there any other perks Alex? Didn't think they affected bhp or anything did they?

Depends who you listen to! Some say the ports are larger on the coscast IIRC. But I wouldn't pick a coscast over a GM head, 5mins with a bit of threaded bar gets you just as good a head and at a fraction of the cost.

^ was told same,
Dan it's sat there though as a good engine all you need is a loom and it's sorted mate i have so many sensors and ecu's that you can have, like i said buy the engine as it is on it's own strip it all down have a look if it needs a rebuild paint it all up then get bits cheap as they come up like I have been doing, that man at chesterfield doesn’t want a lot for anything he has im sure me and you can sort something out with him and buy a lot if not all his parts LOL

Little update!

Decided yesterday to do my alloys in a nice light anthracite colour as i've got bored of the way mine looks atm.

So took my alloys off today and fitted Luke's Softstars and fitted the SXi's onto his.

The plan is for me to spray them again with rattle cans then my mate to spray them up professionally so there shiny.

Couple of pictures :

Looks good but I reckon if you went lighter or stayed that colour it would not go with the rest of the car.

Because the car is silver and black so really it should carry onto the wheels?

Or go silver again. But black the same as the arches ect would be

Ok cheers Raz,i'll have a look.

Hmmm i know what you mean Kie.I don't really like black softstars though because you can't tell that there softstars.That's why anthracite are a better colour for the colour of my car.

hmmm I agree with you Dan, Luke's wheels are definately too dark for yours. I think it needs to be a darker shade of silver/grey personally rather than antracite now I've seen that. Maybe smoke grey?

But then it might clash with the gloss black trim if theres too many colours going on...hmmmmmm this is a toughy lol

Like I said last night though bud If you pick a colour and then dont like it, it not the end of the world and you can always changed it

I see. Mabie a nice silver or darker shade of silver? You don't really want the colours to look abit weird.

It will be like getting a panel painted but being a darker or lighter shade. It will stick out like a sore thumb.

But it's only IMO so you don't have to rake my advise lol
