Piers Posted June 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Busy busy weekend ahead!! Ronals may be gone tomorrow, then I need to build and seal the bbs, then get tyres fitted. Then I need to pick the car up Monday from ultimate car care. Then fit the bbs. Then it needs a good clean ready for the weekend. Wish me luck!! Will pop some progress pics of the paint up tomorrow.

Piers Posted June 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Just a small update...Went to see Matt at UCC last night to collect the ronals that were on the car as somebody was supposed to buy them today. not surprisingly they let me down so im lumped with them. (someone buy them already!!)So here are a few snaps of the car...Lower front bumperCollecting the car monday and cannot wait to see it! as per usual the quality of work from UCC will be amazing! Massive thanks to Matt and James for sorting it out for me The wheels... Im going over to see Ben this afternoon and we are going to get the RM's built up and sealed. Dropping them off monday morning for tyres. (going for 185/45/15's) as i dont want to stretch too much. I did consider 175's but my mate only has 185's at the moment so i would have to wait and i dont have time! lolMore pics soon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piers Posted June 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Tyres fitted. Gone for 185/45/15's. Not as much stretch as i would have liked but i need to be practical as i use the car everyday etc. Going to test fit them to the car and make sure the arches clear when i drop it. Might have to do a quick arch roll before inters if they catch. They used to sit on the tyres on 195/50/15's. Will see how we go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piers Posted June 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Its back...Slight issue with tyres. I went for 185/45/15's but they arent stretched enough to expose some of the dish so im changing them for 175's tomorrow. I will get a load of pics up of the paint thats been done and the wheels on etc all in one.The paint work is awesome! Matt at UCC has done a brilliant job and iv already been discussing my next trip over to him so that i can sort the rest of the paint issues. Its just little bits and bobs here and there now.
