Joti Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 When are the wheels going on then Koop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted February 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Hopefully by UD! I'll try & get the bombing done this week then laquer the wheels & paint the centre caps at the weekend, then probably get tyres on the day before lolOh and... You should sticker over the spare holes on your wheels They have centre caps, they're going to be flash red to match the mirrors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowan S Jones Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 like this, interesting build thread! looking forward to see what it's like loww with the wheels on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted February 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Thanks, much appreciated It's looking like I might not get tyres sorted for the alloys in time so a mate with a 6n's lending me his old steels so I can paint mine at the weekend. If all goes to plan they should look pretty sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koop Posted March 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Bad news, mate that was gonna do my springs tonight says he ain't gonna have time, he works for Ginetta & it's getting pretty hectic gearing up for race season so no lows :'(Really gonna have to try n get tyres for the alloys now as the arch gap is ridiculous on the steels.
