Cheers Xaler your FR is pretty cool too

they will if the centre bore is the same as the lupo or larger (Just buy spigot rings) then yes it should fit no problem

cant beat the mk1 arosa haha, as far as im aware you have to upload the pics onto a website like photobucket or something and then grab the image links from that.

Ordered some prezzies Sportex 3" Backbox New Philips radio £58 from halfrauds ( On offer ) And here's the exhaust fitted.. (Also half debadged the rear, gonna do the other side soon ) Makes a lovely rumble Lucky Steal at my friends scrap yard. £10 each for some real BBS Centre Caps for my RZ's... WOOP Gonna be spraying the centre nut black, also gonna do the front grille and the badge black aswell. And some time after that when i find somewhere to do it im gonna black the rear 'S' badge? Any thoughts about that? Any feedback is always more than welcome. Any more ideas, other than getting it low, but that may be a problem as I live on a farm haha, no really suitable for low low. Joe

nothing happened for a while after this, but heres some random pics The Ford Ka is my girlfriends and the Qashquai is my mums Is that a cloud I see? Beading anyone?

So finally Photobucket started working, got the pics up and here is what we got up to... Bought some BBS RZ's fairly cheap, ended up being worse than what I was expecting but after taking a grinder to them and a can of silver alloy spray later, there looking fairly good ( I know there not done properly as in primed and sanded ect, but theyve been like this for ages and have lasted really well ) Heres the difference Granddad scraping the crap off from the bumpstrips Put the wheels on, looking good ( good enough for me anyway ) might get some 10/15mm spacers? Wrapping up for a good Cutting polish, and then some blue colour polish to bring out the colour, also changed the bulbs for some Osram Nightbreakers Didn't get any pics of poishing but heres the results Smiley hoover Took her outside and got some more pics in the sunshine More photos to come when ive sorted them out. Comments welcome Joe

Been on here for a while and finally reckoned I can be bothered making a thread. Probably wont be anything like the big stuff on here but at the end of the day I love my car and thought I'd share it with everyone. Here's some pics of when i first got my car and gave it a good wash Unfortanetly the driver side bump strip didn't come with the car, but not to worry as they were the first things to come off A few weeks later I took it too my Granddads as he's got a huge garage and we decided to get to work. Only problem is Photobucket is playing up and not letting me upload the silly pictures so that's gonna have to wait. I've got a load of pictures but for obvious reasons I'd like to put them up in order so it may be a while before the next load of pics comes... Comments are always welcome, good or bad. Joe

mines quite loud and as far as i know there isnt anything wrong with it. as long as the oil temp isnt over the roof it should be fine

as far as i am aware mine does this, the milage and time stays on, although ive never waited for it too turn off

probably the gear box, mine has done this all the time since ive owned it, you get used to it haha, it doesnt bother me anymore but if your bothered id check the gear box

Too expensive And the only ones I can find are in America. I was thinking maybe spraying them gloss black? Or should I keep them silver to match the rest of the wheel? Any ideas?

yeah i did sorry, i thought it might have been in the wrong section so i posted it here aswell yeah they are plastic which is why im so confused and thought id ask how you polish them, or if there is anything else that could be done and look snazzy

As the title goes, I've got a set of BBS RZ's (I think) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v416/John_in_VA/1986%20535i/DSC04618.jpg and was wondering how everybody polishes the centre nut bit, do you do it yourselves or is it a professional job? If I don't get them polished for whatever reason what are some cool ideas other people have done to them? Cheers, Joe

ahh right ok, havent a clue then sorry. maybe amazon? wheelwhores, pistonheads. youll find some eventually

Or if not polishing is there anymore cool stuff i could do with them that may look good on my blue arosa

A nice dark purple with silver highlights thats what i would do if i had the money and time to get mine redone and depending on what kind of alloys you got same colour purple with silver highlights OR solid silver (same as the highlights). But yeah, thats just my fantasy try photoshopping a few different colours onto a decent picture and play around with it

try ebay? i might be getting the carbon ones. if i can be bothered forking out £42

sorry officer, my dog ate my learner plates...

dont know anything about them but when you get em all shiny theyl look fab, i do like them on the white car

its probably the gear box, mine does it all the time but im used to it now so i dont hear it haha

ok, cheers dude

Hello, new to the whole detailing thing, but basically i wanna polish a few metal bits and bobs in the engine bay, like the rocker cover and stuff like that anymore suggestions are welcome, but whats the easiest way to do it without taking it off? i can manage to take other stuff off though, but yeah, whats the easiest way to do by hand and what kinda stuff would i need, cheers, Joe.

ive got bbs e30 alloys on mine, got quoted £60 each as they were fairly bad, did it myself though with a grinder and then going through a few grades of sandpaper, a rattle can of silver alloy paint and theyve came out good enough for a couple of hours and £240 cheaper haha

cheers bud. put a picture up of whatever you get done
