Newnesie Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 looks wicked. Might just be me being an idiot, but should you not have bolts in the holes? Even if they're fake splits, i think they look a tad silly without bolts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Moley Posted March 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 The wheels scrub like **** but there isnt a whole lot of damage being done....so im gunna seal up the arches and flare them as much as i can. Ill probably put some slight camber on the rear wheels aswell. Plenty of work needed! Tommorow ill be doing more polishing and painting the calipers!

Mr Moley Posted March 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 (edited) Another 7 man hours slammed in today on the loop! Archwork!!!It was raining so i got the car as far in the garage as i could to begin work for the day!Threw on the final sticker to start off the day "Phat". Got the car up and in!How the arch looked before i got out my heat gun and rubber mallet!:Smash smash smash smash smash......After:Looks no different eh? Absolutly no scrubbage atall now, it's amazing! The would scrub every single bump in the road and was destroying the tyres, i sanded the arch down after it was grinded, heated it up, smashed it out and then sealed it up and voila! Beautifull!Got onto painting the ****ty calipers now nice and glossy:Took it for a test drive and now this is how she stands to date:Now for a well deserved PIE Edited March 30, 2011 by Mr Moley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEP51 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Do people do emergency stops behind u? cos they can probably see an identical car to theirs with a foreign driver looking terrified too lol.Pie very well deserved!Why not put a small disk of black vinyl over the silver locks on the doors? And is it legal to tint the sidelights? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
