Bit Chavvy For me so the modding began!

Got rid of the 5zigen Fireballs and got some G60 steels (Gun metal & baby blue lip!)

Coilovers :) - only dropped her 50 mil or so until they settled...

What size are your G60s? Really want steels for my 6n2 but dont know if i want 14s or 15s :(

G60s only come in 15"

The rims make this car - not many 6n2s in White either.

  • 4 weeks later...

Have you had the g60 banded, or added any spacers mate?
