yeah coilies are surely before wheels, but first I have to fix something in the steering column because it is rattling a lot when going over pot holes!!

I will as soon as I have some time mate. yeah I think 25mm on the rear would have been better but don't go too wide because off the stress you place on the hub and make sure the spacers are hub-centric

Really like your car man, looks great.
Absolutely love the colour

I think the Yellow/Black combo works really well and its nice to see you have stuck with this theme in all areas.
The only thing I dont like too much is the rear light tints but I suppose they do tie in with the colour scheme.
Fair Play, keep up the good work

hehe thanks for the comments

... yeah I used to dislike that yellow mainly because it looks like a faded yellow (not like the yellow you find on fiats example) but now with the black parts I am liking it

. as for the tinted lights they may be a little to dark but I really like them (until an officer stops me for a fine!! although last day a police was driving behind me and didn't take any notice

)

Yeah the yellow looks really Cool.
Are you going to have the bumpers smoothed or are you happy with the black rub strips?

I surely do not have the budget for smoothing the bumpers for now apart that smoothing is lower down on the wish list

do not get me wrong, I really like the look of a smoothed bumper but the strips does not annoy me that much apart from them protecting the bumper from my lame parking habits
