I'm seriously hoping that its just that intense rain we had last nite as I've not seen it before and we are in the rainy season.
fingers crossed it clears else I'll be going back to the standard rears! and I'd clean them up back to red too!

on another note I took few pics as I left the post office after picking up my new enfig aerial...
Image

I need more lows soon as I get the borbets on all spaced out nicely ;)
I also need to get that dent pulled out asap cos the more I look at it the more it depresses me :( anyone recommend anyone around plymouth area whos realiable??

Image

definately needs more lows!! back looks really high :(

sorry for poor quality but I do like the 2nd pic :thumbup:

It's probably all the rain. Take them
Off and put them in the airing cupboard before summer to dry them out and then seal the top with silicone ;)

Yeh that's the plan mate :-) they was 2nd hand so rubbers could've gone
I mite even take the lenses off give them a good clean and then re-seal them

Nice one mate, New rims should look quality

Got to love the original RXII's though, are you going to keep them as winter wheels?

Yes mate of course ;-) I'm gonna give them a refurb and a good sealing ready for next year.
I'm undecided weather to polish the lip and coulor the centres or keep them looking standard

Polished lips look ace mate, they are high maintenance but they look quality.
I would respray the centres in the original colour and then polish up the lips, great combo! :)

Cos I'll be using them as winters I doubt I will polish the lip cos I'd have to clean them several times a week to keep them looking fresh! :-)

Spose I've got plenty of time to decide lol

Should be painted by end of nxt week, so ordering tyres, spacers and valve caps this weekend so I'll be all set and hoping to have them on for the meet on the 29th :-D

What size spacers did you have? I'm thinking 15mm on front and 20-25mm on the back
