<arosa - kid> Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 This is how it started out life when i first got the car a year and a half ago. Finally saved up and got a set of Jom Bluelines! really decent coilover for the money definetly worth it and get some serious lows! ;)Ended up taking all the adjusters out at the back and winding the front down cause lets face it you can never be too lowBought myself some interior goodies aswel! and no the seat rails arent red anymore! lolended up buying some suede off ebay and went to town with the fabric glue! Now down to the rimage! these are definetly going to split opinions but none the less here they are! their off a mk2 astra gte and i fully polished them myself! took me forever though! this is what they look like atm and with the car fully resprayed but im still not happy with the paint as it didnt turn out that perfectly! Made a wee sc3n3 skateboard for shows aswel! at the moment i have mot next week so going to take my rear springs out and get them compressed a little more for more lows and hopefully raise the exhaust up a little for clearance! hope you guys like it ....

Sp3nny Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 lovely little motor, is it a 1.0? and maybe wrap the centre caps in carbon fibre or a colour of your choice to hide the hideous Vauxhall sign only joking, very nice wheels them buddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSloanes Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Lose the blue centre caps and you'r onto a winner with them. Very nice wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jared21 Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Yeah, i'm not a fan of the blue centres, if they where the same colour, this would look so sick, but what you've done so far looks ace, Its the best colour in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
