Alright fella, really like your car, its a Colour Concept right, is it diesel or petrol?

Really good idea with the Sub, beat that fecker shakes a bit. Just looking at how low this thing sits, especially on that picture with the sauce packet, what drop is it?

Personally I'm after only around 30mm but it would be nice to know.

Yo dude.

Haven't seen you in a while! Weird that I check on here for updates when you live just down the road.

16X9s would be a pig, unless the had a pretty high offset (which they never do). You'd have to come up at least 50mm, which I doubt your suspension (like mine) would allow!

How did you get on with the brakes mate?

I bought a set of G60 carriers so i'm looking to get myself some 280mm Discs but cant decide whether to get Black Diamond or EBC Turbo's.
How do you rate the Black diamonds fella?

Sounds good mate :D

Have you got any pics of them through the wheels (RX's) or are you still running the G60's at the moment?
I'm interested in getting them because they are cheaper than the EBC's and are good quality too
