    Thanks for the comment, when the wheels have come back from powdercoating and car has been lowered etc I'll repost with new photo
    Just finnished the badges and fitted and had time on my hands so started a dash conversion, trial fitting in progress, new clocks, upgraded 5.1 surround sound, and the final bits been covered in leather like the dash, rear view mirror and door handles,





    Will start carbon detailing once edition38 show is over and have actually driven the bloo@y thing instread of changing bits on it

    Messing around with tyres now, fronts started of as 195-45-16, wouldn't go down lower (were have I heard that before), then changed to 185-50-16, more streatch, more clearance and down another half inch, still not low enough, now 175-50-16 and still want more lowness,

    Arches are going to be pulled, big breakes fitted and if I have the room the backs of the wheels are to be skimmed by as much as possible, problem sorted,

    Current stance





    Just want another half inch
