They're a really high gloss silver, but reflecting incandescent lighting hence the gold tint.

Gold ones look like this:

Cool wheels though, I've always liked them.

Ah they'll do!

Wonder how much they are aha :)

£600ish for a set, if I remember. But there are lots of used sets about, which you could get refurbed in a fresh coat of gold. :)

I can't find any pics but there was a (don't hate me) white Saxo tuned by a company called L.A.D. Motorsport in an issue of Redline about 14 years ago with a set of gold MOs, and that thing looked badass. White cars, gold wheels, tough as.

Awesome. Wonder if they're light aha, definitely look into it, even of it is for the longer term :)

My mates got a r5 sat in his garden with a mint set of comps like them .. I've begged him to sell them lol, having non of it :( lol

:thumbsup:

Spray the drums black :-) i wish i had a room full of new parts! Thanks for the help on the mount its all fitted now. Got the car to turn over for the first time. Now need to do fueling side of things to fire it up! When you hoping to get your lump in?

It's all getting done at once mate, just need to decide what to do about an exhaust!

Not making as much progress as I'd like, 7 day weeks -.-

just need to decide what to do about an exhaust!

Cherry Bomb :paranoid:

Man that engin look sweet :)

Yeah I mean I don't know whether to Bodge the standard exhaust then get a custom made or buy a system and fit all at once?

I don't know what after market systems are good?

Ashley any good? I heard they're a shit fit lol

Tom's old G40 on my old Compo MOs (14x6) before someone nicked his car:

Compos are sweet wheels, MO aren't that light though. Lots pop up on eBay, but are mostly Vauxhall fitment (centre bore 56.6mm and ET49).

Yeah might just stick with what I have for now!

Need some axle spacers any ideas people?

Also thoughts on an Ashley exhaust?

Aren't Jetex better than Ashley?

  • Author

Tbh I'm not keen for any after market anymore. Custom would probably be ideal

Ashley exhausts are a shit fit

Seriously, custom system or nothing...

Standard? Lulz x

Powerflow, A mates got 1 on his awesome mk1 fezzie (I hate fords normally) and it sounds beast!

Mines going powerflow :)

Lifetime guarantee

Ashley only use mild steel, whilst most other after market are stainless. They have different prices and different sounds. Personally i find stainless exhausts too raspy, hence i went for an ashley, although its actually a hybrid of stainless and mild now since its been modified (no one does 'loon aftermarket 'zorsts). As for fit, the ashley system, in standard form, did hang a little low. Again, I've modified mine as even with my modest drop, the back box and pipe would have scraped all the time

I went with a Longlife one. Know 3 people with them on their polos and they are all really good! I'm having a new one made up for mine.

See my mate has an ashley on his fiesta and it's been perfect lol

I've got what must be one of the oldest Longlife systems about - 12 years and two months, still going strong and still under warranty muahahahaha!

Thing is though, could you live with an 'off the shelf' exhaust that isnt a perfect fit?

Where as with a custom system for not a great deal more, you could have the perfect sound and a perfect, nicely tucked up fit...

Thats how i see it, ashley sounds ok but its a bastard to get it to fit right and you have to modify the mounts regardless. I'd rather pay a little more and have it bang on.

With powerflow, if it doesnt sound how you want it, they will change the box's or whatever. for no extra cost from what i gathered to make it how you want it.
