nice mate! Keep the updates a comin!
Autostradas are one of my favourite wheels :) Whats the colour combo you are going for them? White centres, polished lips and gold bolts (would look amazing with the Rado's Maroon colour!)??? :D
-
unsure yet on colour. Been swaying between BBS gold powdered centres with the centre sandwich mounted to make them 9's with polished lips and bolts or just fuly polish the centres lips and bolts and use them just for shows but getting time to work on my own stuff is nigh on impossible in the run up to the uk show season :(
but had a spare half hour today,the top lip was the dinged lip although not completely finished fixing the ding yet

spent yesterday at my mates bit swapping his coils for my Koni's and ended up with my shaft popping out the cv so spent today fixing that and freeing off the coils. The rears turned into a nightmare but the fronts were sound
currently about 16 coils down at the front(around 35mm)and 20mm lower at the rear

driving about half asleep after a disastrous day started by work drama,puncture,no jack,no real spare,broken lockers,multi wheel swaps and ended up fitting the rear bentleys as they were in the car so I could get home
pulled out a parking bay with too much lock and swiped the little gay barrier

sorted out front camber and toe issues and got the front bentleys on
