thats a bit harsh like!!! You cant say its horrid!! The bodywork is top notch!! Yeh the colour is not to my taste either, but he likes it and if he does go off it, its obvious to see he has the skills to change it!
Agreed :D

Surely with him doing the work he hasn't spent £4000 either?

Wait until you see the complete car, and when all the panels have been properly polished up (they haven't all been done in these pics I don't think) and you might like the end result a lot more than the work in progress shots here. You never know...

If you haven't got anything nice to say then don't say anything at all :D And who said he spent over 4K on it?? The colour is nice and the roof looks win!

p.s. Your car looks "horrid" :D

Well they're on, and my god its looks sweet! Shall get some pics tommorrow.

The 9's caused no problems at all at the back, and scrub lots less than the 8's did! There fitted with the 215/45/15 tyres that were on the 8's, but cos the offset is higher they're a better fit.

The 8's on the other hand were a bit of a nightmare. They seemed to catch when turning the wheel and going over any kind of bumpy road. So, a few hours later, wheel arch liners removed and arches rolled, they seem reasonable, but may need to buy some 45 profile tyres (currently 195/50) or could just raise the coilovers a little.

Anyhow, pics tommorrow.

I'm sure it won't do the handling any good with the 9's !! But i'm also sure it'll look as sweet as. Can't wait to see the pics, you are now officially a wide-boy !
