Looking good mate, the stance at the back looks spot on.
The stretched look is very cool, I wouldnt do it personally but I do like the look of it.

How did you get on with the short shifter dude?

Sorry to hear that mate, you should get your money back for it when you sell it on.
They are really difficult to get hold of these days/

A touch lower at the front wouldnt do any harm, maybe just 5 or 10 threads.

Car is looking great though dude

Looking ace man! Im in the process of ordering tyres for my new G60s.

Kwik-Fit actually have an amazing deal on at the moment, however i'm not to sure if they would fit them..stretched.

Also, about the coil overs, i noticed the picture of you getting the jack stuck, how did you actually get it out?

Any more plans?

I have some almost brand new Toyo Proxes for sale but only if you can pick up or arrange courier - 195/50/15

Not too sure if Kwik-Fit will install stretched, better luck going to a local tyre place

Regarding the jack, I had to jack it back up again and place a piece of wood under the wheel :D

Is that how they are fitted by most people? Or do most use a low profile jack?

I was after 165/50/15's.

Would I get much of a stretch from what your offering?

How much are you wanting for them?

165/50/15 is the stretch I'm currently running..

Can't do camber really as it's a daily... Going down abit more on the front as per advised and taking the rest from there...

Thanks for the compliment :D Took me ages to decide on 'Red'

cover them in some black paint when you get a chance or the rust will worsen
