Ha, yeah i spose matey...

Purchased some 175/50s and now i think i need more stretch after all that ha!

But i have purchased spacers aswell, 25mm rear and 20mm front like the ones that bolt to the hub and thenyou bolt to the spacer ones but couldnt take a dent pic as the height was off and didnt have enough time or my c spanner annoyingly to get it sitting writ so off they come until i have some time but looks good with the alu's il get pics asap.

Service tomorow and transmition fluid change, After that i am off to Carisma in colchester as im in there with jamie shaw through my work so fingers crossed, full re-trim and instal here we come as off saturday after this..............

Good times for me, bad times for my loan

Pics to follow............

Update done.

Well i have fitted me spacers, Alulines and did a good caliper clean yesterday and also fitted a new stubby mirror..........

What we think guys????????/



Mirror in wet on wet primer


Mirror in BMW high gloss black by mwah

Before


After


Shot as i finished fitting not even cleaned






Car has settled down abit now and yes it does rub at the back as i need the arches rolling and im having them flaired alittle by arche enemy this week some point and my camber bolts installed at some point.

Comments welcome

Alulines look mint!

What tyres are those? The fronts looks rather big?

Nice car mate, just flicked through the thread and a lot of work has gone into this car. keep up the good work

Very nice dude! Spacers make a huge difference!

Cheers guys, there still 175/50/15s but the pics do make em look bigger but trust me there fine n tuck nicely under the arch.......

Bit of tyre shine works a treat but the lines do make the tyres look big for some reason....................

But there has been alot of work ur right dude lol, alot off pain aswell......

Looks Great Mate, the spacers make a huge difference to be fair.

How much did they set you back and where did you get them from?

Black roof, Pillars and Mirrors look dead smart too

I like this alot but i have to say you need to get 165/50's that would stop the scrubing and save you money on getting your archs rolled !!

Yeah i wanted 165's mate but settled on 175's for starters but will purchase 165's next time around.............

Im having me arches rolled this week just to give it a little more presence..........

Yeah mate was at players looking tatty lol, Mostly standard apart from a few things here and there...........
Whens the date for players you know buddy???

Il have me interior done by then and sounds hopefully!

Yeh dude it's on the 19th of September,was a really good show and alot cheaper than most i'll be going up again this year.Mine hasen't had muxh done to it but it'll be there all cleaned up

The wheels are magnificent

The angle of the last photo does make the front tyre look very meaty for some reason alright

It's because their 175/50/15's, I reckon next time you go for the 165/45's for more stretch and a slim line tyre wall.

You had it re-mapped yet buddy?
