Bit of an update, well gave "THE MAN" a ring and apparently the "cctv has been down for a whole week now" which instantly made me think it was a teacher! so after a quick row of telling him where to go i drove directly to the body shop and priced up some work, which consisted of

Front bumper damage repaired,

Side indicators smoothed of, both sides and damage repaired

The rub strip on both doors smoothed off and dint/scratch repaired

Rear quaters smoothed off damage also repaired

Sills/ jacking points smoothed off

And finally the rear bumper damage repaired and sprayed.

this will be booked in early febuary just after my 20th birthday!

big update in the middle of febuary about all that!

until then there will be coilovers fitted and i have just bought some loctite 243, which is thread sealant for my splits, then i just need the actual sealant the i will crack on with them.

If any one has anything to look out for then let me know, as i have never done this before haha

bit of an essay lol jack.

Well a sunday normally consists of staying in bed and black ops, but this one was different,

i got my arse into gear with the wheels.

So after a few desparados we had finally got one together! so here is a cheeky little pic of what we achieved ;)

Believe they were off a BMW e30 that some guy bought did'nt really like them so bought some standard wheels. Were in his shed for years. Thats all I could really tell you. Properly pleased with the outcome though, they look mega!

cheers for the bit of back ground info man! and thanks mate! I've put a lot of time into them so far haha, just got to get them sealed up, flush valves and tyres, then camber shims, then ime sorted!

Make sure you seal them well, one of my rs's leaks and makes me want to die everytime I have to pump it up. Any luck with image centre caps?

Some like this would be my choice;

Yeh man, well we put silicone in between every surface, put thread locker on every nut and then ime going to put more silicone round the outside and smooth it in! so hopefully they wont leak haha those are the ones i want! but i cant find them anywhere! and if i gave image a ring, they would bend my wallet over and rape it ime sure, but needs must, unless u have any ideas man?? haha not as excited as me XD
