Hmm possibly...

I have plans for my dash but If I change my mind I'll PM you :)

If you think your paint is bad in the flesh have a look at my rear arches in real life hahaja

Hey man, just wondering how you've got rota's to fit. I'm thinking of getting some but want to know if they will fit without to many issues, I'm taking they are 15x8 and have 185's on? Also have you uses camber shims and got a notch? 

Cheers

Did you read the thread?

He's got camber shims, max camber

no notch

roll front arches with a heavy pull

rear heavily flared arches

max camber at front will help aswell

What he said ^^^

But yeah you wont be able to get them to fit properly and look any good without any issues lol, lots of cutting, hammering and pulling is involved.

+ the help of a lot of camber :)

I gave the car a well deserved wash today as It hasn't been cleaned in months and months.

Due to it being so cold and all the hose pipes being frozen, this resulted in me using a watering can haha!

I am excited to see your car again this year

Probably wont be seeing it for a while.

I think the first show I will be at will probably be early edition. Wont be at UD because I'll be on a snowboard trip :)

So Rich....

Can't help but notice.....you still haven't sorted that bloody wonky plate.

Seriously man!! ahah

Apart from that, looks good! need your Rotas back on though :(

Still looks pretty cool on the steels

Couldn't you run the rota's in the winter...Lacquered lips?

how do you remove the bump strips? do you just pull off?

With care, a heat gun helps. Just be careful. Also if your car has previously had paint sometimes you find they have masked upto the strip in the bodyshop, then you will end up with a nasty line. Just go easy. :-)
