Looking good mate. Have you done yourwheels yet? I got some old alloys for my last.car and got advised to use nitromores to get the paint off as sand paper has a good chance of pitting the alloys. Not got round to doing it yet as not had the space to crack on with them but deff on my to do list.

Like that this is as an alternative to the Mk1 caddy. I've just got rid of a mk2 caddy and even though they are nothing like a Mk1 had great fun with it.

What spring kit have you gone for? Got mine off thebay.

They look sweet. Couldn't bring myself to pay 30quid per wheel to refurb when I only paid 50quid for the full set! Ha!

I know what you mean but I'm jus thinkin cheap all round plus findin the right wheel is so hard for the loon

Yeah know what you mean. Mine are BMW bottle tops. Only coz coz I got them for my pickup and never got round to fit them. Ha! Still got my hub caps on the steels atm. Looks nice tbh. Like stock but dropped! =)

Still not too sure how they'll look on thought.

if you wand somthin real cool i saw a loon in pvw a while back with the back lights chopped i.e the fogs and reverse chopped off to shorten the light its looks so good dont no whats involved but it looks sick

think I've seen something similaie suppose it would look more like an early derby then cool idea just dont know weather it would be worth the hassle

looks nice mate. as you say better pics needed :p

I personally would of polished then paint as you dont want to have to worry about catching that paint :-)

ahh too little too late indeed i have just discovered that yes i need to polish them first but luckily the plastidip paint jus peels straight off :) il demonstrate with pics later any advice on gettin into the groove between dish and centre to sand and polish its a right bugger or do i just persevere
