The wheels look so small now though and the gap between the arch and tyre seems massive now! But i can roll with it for 2 weeks!

2 weeks?
have you got spacers on them?

Yeah i get the exhaust taken off in 2 weeks and replaced with a standard one. Once it goes i will drop the car on its arse...... As much as it will let me!

The tyres only went on today so havent done anything yet..... Spacers will go on aswell

What width are they? 165/50's?

Bridgestones do stretch nicely.

Got it in one! I tried for 165/45's but they wouldn't do it lol

Cant complain though i love them

They look awesome Mandy sits lovely now

When is the exhaust coming off?

Thanks, they look a bit daft at the moment because of the gap between the arch and tyre. I'm going to book in for the exhaust next saturday hopefully. I might get a custom one made because the quotes for a standrd one are ridiculous so i might as well spend the money and get the custom one.

Yeah I would probably go down the custom route simply because the OEM exhaust systems are not stainless steel and wont have a lifetime guarntee, plus they are very pricey as you mentioned. If you get a custom exhaust made its most likely going to be stainless steel and will never need replacing

Yeah custom for sure mine is a hidden stainless system and its been mint ever since fitting.

Yeah i think i'm going for the custom one. Need to ring around for a couple of quotes tomorrow then hopefully get booked in for next sat.

I can't wait

I'm going to miss the current exhaust aswell, it's kinda growing on me! Nasty speedbumps!

Iye it is a nice system its just the actual backbox is too big, real shame because twin pipes really suit it and it does sound really nice too

Having a bit of a dilemma! Don't know whether to take the cups/stretch off and put the G60's on until after xmas??

The bad weather is due early this year so debating whether to change the wheels soon and just leave the exhaust, suspension and re-spray until the new year ready for the shows.

If the car goes any lower it won't be much fun driving in if the snow us as bad as it was last year! Plus i'll be able to keep the exhaust for a bit longer!

Might do the G60's green too for a splash of colour over the dull months!

Yeah all after the Xmas period defiantly..... That way you have more goodies to ask for and fit, and more money! Green would look pretty good actually ha....!

I might just wait like, plus it means something to look forward to instead of getting it all done now.

Green would look canny cool for the wheels i think too, and cheer me up while my precious ATS cups are off ha!

I reckon you stick the G60's back on soon to protect your bling bling ATS Cups
The bad weather will corrode the lacquer on the Cups and you want to keep them looking fresh for all the shows next year

Green G60's would look really cool

Yeah, winter mode is starting earlier this year.
