lupolouie Posted December 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 I want Mo's.What offset are those?Look nice.They came of a astra mk3 the offset is quite high at et49. They could do with being refurbed,not to sure on a colour yet. Picked them up for £200 which i thought was cheap and they came from spain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lupolouie Posted January 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 More changes.....Well i sold my bmc but kept the chrome air intake pipe and modified them so i could use the standard air box and engine cover which looks alot neater.also will be geting my engine cover painted to tidy up the bay.I also bought some red trim for the grill and put the gti badge back on.Hopefully the mo,s should be on this week if the tyres turn up.just need to sort some center caps out for them now the ones i ordered from compomotive are to big so i need to sort something out.....

99hjhm Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 IMO, just that inlet pipe will gain you the same as the BMC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupolouie Posted January 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 IMO, just that inlet pipe will gain you the same as the BMC.Yeh the standard intake pipe has such a small air inlet.The bmc was just to noisey in the end i got sick of it and tbh i didnt really feel any benefit from it.
