Won a bid on these 50 pounds probably overpaid a bit I think at the end when I restore these alloys they will come out at the same price as brand new Ronals LS but hopefully it will be worth it at the end.

we all get ripped off from time to time so dw matey

hopefully a bargin will be coming your way soon! aha

liking the car btw, cool colour :) 1.0 ftw

colour wise with the wheels, how about the same green as your car..?

It was harder then I thought but after doing the rear doors got more confident and better at it so front doors worked out even better then rear but the results were satisfactionary finally all my doors are all back together now.

I got it off ebay its effective enough but its hard to say now because I was driving around with no door cards at all for a while having said that I stuck one on in the boot just where the exhaust is and that one seriously made a difference thinking of spending 50e more for 18sheets and doing the boot and trunk and if I can the floor or at least the floor where the exhaust pipes run through. At the end of the day I think it did make a lto off difference for example when you are sitting inside the car and someone closed the door it sounds much more like on modern cars.

wicked, ill get some

You should paint your wheels the same colour you did your badge, they'd look awesome like that!

Looking good mate, get those wheels on! How easy was it to route that amp cable through where you have put it? I found it very difficult in my last car to get it through where I had it.

At first I thought its going to be hard but once I removed the cabin filter and its housing it was easy enough really I was actually surprised. I really want to get the wheels on but I'm still in search for center caps at the moment I have some bids on so its a wait and see now if I can win them.

My friends were convincing me to paint the wheels in black but I'm still scared to paint them black i was thinking about silver but black crosses my mind form time to time is well now.

I'm trying it atm and have poked the cable through the small hole under the pollen filter but cant see where it comes out anywhere. How did you find where it came out into the car? Cheers

I dont knowi man just take the rubber of the door arch as it is in my photo and get someone to try and poke the thing thorugh somewhere and another person to look under. you must first take the polen filter out and the polen filter plastic panel which holds the panle filter in it is only held by two plastic 10cm bolts.
