JoeA Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Subtle tint on those front lights would work well mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupogtiboy Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 I hate to admit it, but I really like this! Subtle and tasteful mods, don't get the haters at all, not deserved. Just because someone else doesn't like the way YOUR car looks, doesn't mean its wrong. Its a personal thing, so just ignore them and do what YOU want. I even like the Union flag on the roof!

R99 Posted August 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Thanks guys, loving the car at the moment, but I'm thinking I need to be brave and run 20mm spacers on the rear instead of the 15mm I have at the mo, so ET25.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R99 Posted August 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Some better pics to show the fitment....Front (currently ET33):Rear (currently ET30):I'm thinking, do I go for a 20mm spacer and run ET25 on the rear?? My concern is where does the law stand with wheel poke?? AFAIK, the tread must be within the arch, and its probably just about under at present??One more pic from today: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R99 Posted August 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Decent stopping power has finally arrived:Getting them fitted tommorow. Long term plan for the calipers (as they are a tad rough) is to get them re-done metallic yellow and get a black Brembo logo put on them.However, other things are much higher on the agenda! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
