The ride seems fine to me :D a little bumpy though :p

Cheers for the comments people

Seen this a few hours ago, looks a lot better in the flesh. Much more of a stance

Nono, 13s DON'T clear 256s. There must be some form of witchcraft involved.

Oh wait, what is it that makes them clear? The backspace or something? The offset isn't anything special, ET20, a lot of 13x7s are the same as that, and some (ie ATS classics) don't even clear vented 239s without a carrier swap...

I have 4 sets of 13s that will clear 256mm brakes :paranoid: :paranoid:

Personally I think you should have gone for 14s or get a it a hell of a lot lower. Doesn't look right with small wheels and it being really high!

It will be alot lower, as i said before its only that high because the tyres were rubbing alot, so i raised it until my arches get rolled on 5th feb, as its my everyday driver. But once there rolled its getting lowered a treat :D

5th feb? :shock: as in nearly a year? :? why so long?

Well after seeing some people's cars with leather roofs, i thaught about doin something in leather the other day and while i was at work i thought ill do a leather bonnet :D So i bought another bonnet from the scrappy. When to a fabric shop got some thin foam for underneith and some :cough: fake :cough: leather , and done it all last night. This is how it turned out :D

I'm quite liking it, reckon you should try it on the roof too.

Cheers for the comments people, the dimples are because i uses 1/4" foam underneith i think, should smooth out with some sun on it :) Dont know what to use to give it more of a shine, might try back to black :p

Martin.
