Got the heat gun out and borrowed a toffee wheel from the bodyshop. Much prefer it without the rub strips

What ya think?

Cheers

Really like this car Cant help thinking it could do with being a touch lower at the back. Other than that its spot on!

Look forward to seeing some pics when its back from the bodyshop

That's why I've only posted the passenger side, I managed to pull a load of laqer off the back quarter and halfords spray bodged it to stop it rusting. It's off into the bodyshop on 21/4 to be sorted along with other stuff

Also a nice subtitle mod would be some post 97 style centre caps for the wheels off a Corsa C SXI or something similar

dont know if you can see, but theres a line of rough paint or a line of runt starting underneath the paint, it must have been sitting on top of the strip
