Bilco's Mk'2 Eaton G Saloon

I think this is the right direction with the wheels although i always prefer mono wheels in a powdercoat than polished.

The only thing i ever didn't fully like was mags on the car. Sat awesome on the rear but not quite on the front if you know what i mean? Still looked great and that criticism is splitting hairs but thats the only thing that was off on the entire car for me.

To be fair it is crying out for some image splits (summer only) made to exactly the spec you want :-)

yes i know exactly what you mean, i wont have a proper feel of how the monos look until the engine is in and the new lower top mounts are on so i can get a proper idea of clearence and how they sit in the arch.

and image splits! how much money do you think i have! :)

ah i thought they would be bigger than that, i ran that size on my 13x7 starmags and the stretch looks relatively the same :S

yeah they haven't got as much stretch as i thought theyd have either, enough for the rears to sort of fit though
