Id colour code the car - for the sake of it looking nice. Dont spend a fortune on doing it though, try it yourself if you have spares. Try to learn to do most jobs on the car yourself - its cheaper in the long run and should you get into motorsport you will need to know your car inside out.

not sure if im going for a dimma yet, gona phone Safety devices and see if they will do me a proper bolt in one that doesnt involve welding and might be cheaper than dimma

Yeah, I mean you could fuck it up really badly and they'll be able to fix it for you. Its a lot better than handing it over to them all the time. Practice makes perfect mate!

Derek why not get one made specifically for your car? Your Dad will know a good welder or try Whittakers.
If you need ideas give us a shout.

The Dimma ones are only for show apparently, they just 'slot' in.

cant be arsed reading the whole thread but surly the car would look so much better dropped on its arse with those alloys sprayed white?
Rally slag would be a good way to go, specially if u wanna make it as light as possible.
