Taken me a while as i ahve no clue what i was doing, bit shoddy in places but it will be ok when its done. Still, not bad for a first attempt........... i think! Wheel spacers on the way and i am going to change the bonnet just not sure what to do with it. Its gone in for spray now, having it orange, the one off a pug 307 Hdi if anyone knows it.

Ive had this discussion, at first i thought it looked off, but ive checked it over, drives ok no uneven wear and the MOT bloke didnt say anything........... i think its just the arch, the kit was so warped when i bought it, did my best to get it right but i think it being mis shapen makes the wheel look off. ?????

i can imagine the kit being a right mission to fit, the arches are sooooo big wheels are getting lost in there that could be y wheel looks strange in arch, is other side same! measure places up and so long as both sides are the same dont worry

cheers mate, glad ive done it now, a lot of people dont like the kit, but i like it more now than when i started becase of the satisfaction of doing it myself. The biggest problem was getting started, there is no way you can just bolt it on, custom brackets and the works. Cant wait to see the finished product now.
Regretfully i may have to sell it, not sure how much its worth tho, selling it as it is with all ICE seats tv etc. Its a 1.4sri straight through exhaust and piper x airfilter.

It is an absolute arsehole, wouldnt attempt it again ina hurry. Could have done 2 or 3 cars in the same time, although thats cus im a little lazy aswell.
The same orange on a pug 307 Hdi 55plate, may sound normal, but is nice, will suit it well. Having it sprayed friday, will post some pics for your viewing pleasure/dis pleasure.

Just jump in at the deep end, as long as you ahvent got a very specific timescale it will jsut keep you occupied. I didnt have a clue what i was doing at first, but you soon pick it up! get it done, just not this kit i would suggest.
