Looks better now! Although it would look so much cleaner with a STAINLESS exhaust tip.
Not a shitty painted one ¬_¬

Can't do anything about the tip, it was sanded etc before I owned it, would never be perfect again, painted is the best its going to get.


Well today me and Chris F went up to billing, wasn't bad, some real nice cars, My car is has had some issues lately, but the main one today ment having to stop in some random back road....

Note scissor jack of death, although I did put the spare wheel under the car before I went under.

This was the issue, The hanger had come out of the rubber, It was scraping on the smallest bump or hump in the road


But as the thread title says, I now have side skirts! Thanks to Chris F again, Steinmetz reps...


Hopefully get them painted black this week and then I want new arch trims before I fit them, Want to get the 12v sorted first.

Cheers lads, Gotta find somewhere to re-powdercoat the two that are damaged but will worry about that once the 12v is sorted, so for the next few weeks I'll be sticking with the 6spokes.

Need some spacers for the fronts aswell, Rub on my coilovers, But I can go around 10mm lower, which is always good for getting stuck on speedbumps. Just need to find myself two 195 40 16 tyres now.

Still on the look out for a 195 40 16 tyre, or a pair of them. I bought some spacers last week though and they came yesterday, I also found some longer wheel bolts as a temp thing , so thought bugger it and fitted the two fronts...





Should hopefully sort the tyres this week though so I can roll on four.

Already though I've been out and about giving it some, it handles better on the 40 profile 16s, Plus once all four are on it will look much better.



Edit: Centre cap stickers are on their way too

Nearly a month since the last update

First pic worthy of uploading is the first pic I got with it fitted with all 4 speedlines, On the way to TVL


It was then parked on the front of the stand

CBA to add track pics, Not seen any that I like yet.

A week later its covered 700 miles and its been without a wash and its dirty as fuck although the pic makes it look clean


Plan now is to run it around for another 3weeks and then either strip it or sell it as is without speedlines.

Unless I decide I love it too much and keep it, We'll see.
