My mates 6n2 rears went stright on ... How come you have to trim yours?

I've gotta trim mine but they do just fit

Doesn't matter if they got rolled to much. Can either get spacers or wider bullets.

they went straight on but it annoyed me that they didnt sit flush with the boot so I'm trimming them down a bit....still haven't been bothered yet though.

this is true mate i was thinking about spacers for the rear :)

Looks good Sam :)

And yeah you have to trim down the 6n2 rears to get them to sit flush. Quite noticeable else

i was thinking about using your fronts as my rears mate, but I need to wait for payday and see how much i get for my overtime.

fitted the 6n2/lupo gearknob yesterday and also changed my badge back to the silver ones as the black one is starting to get tacking and the silver one looks more original :)

Cheers mate :D

More lows required at the back though.....

I know mate it was a shame :( it was a really good show, will hopefully get to see yours in the metal this year?!

Lower the front not the back.

I love the exhaust tip. Keep it

I'd recommend putting some shoe polish on that plastic plate. Mine came up brilliantly, and was grey like yours before I cleaned it up.
