Take a pic of the damage Steve, I may be able to help you out. I recently got myself a plastic welder (well, it's just a soldering iron with a flat blade tip!) and I've been pretty handy with it lately!Quote:

This weekend I will have a few updates, installing new bonnet struts they will be going on, also taking wheels off and giving them a real good rubbing and sanding a tad to get them smoothed again.
Sorry for the super dooper fantastic crap pics but I did it really fast as I was in a rush yesterday for work.
Also going to be spraying the calipers a colour as I am not sure what colour I want them looking at Red but I am not sure. It will probably end up being black as you can't see anything over the 928's lol. Also spraying the adaprters black aswell( why not ) :]
Thanks Raymond but I was helped out by a friend getting it glued and came up really good:)Quote:

I found the little dude so I thought I'd put him in lol.
They're ****ing sick! I thought the KT4's were 18"+ though. Are there any Aussie dealers for Keskin wheels?
Can't wait to see your new front end!
Me to Raymond lol, I don't think so there is anyone however I have enquired from dubmeister in the UK and have it was about $1300 just for the wheels plus shipping:(
That's not too bad really. You could possibly get them to ship two shipments, one to you and another to a friend so the duties aren't so "taxing". I've heard Keskin are quality wheels, despite the fact that they make replica wheels.
I agree, looked at a few different wheels and these ones made me grin straight away, I was planning on doing the two ahipments, they will most likely come from the UK to which I think that there is tax that you also have to pay not quite sure:?Quote:

My only problem is that how will a stretch tyre go with taking the car through spirited drives through the National Park and Wisemans ferry so to speak:?
I cant see how a stretched tire would be anything but un-performance like.
so long as the stretch isnt crazy it can actually increase sidewall stiffness. Obviously sidewall stiffness can reduce comfort.
It all just depends though i guess. If u stretch a lot then maybe that can adversely effect the tyres contact patch?
I reckon big stretch looks a bit dumb anyways though.
