After yesterday's disaster with half a brick on the motorway, my wheel is now fixed and my skirt that got pulled off is now just about done. i've also polished the dish on the wheels to near mirror finish! here's the pics...







one of the front just for the hell of it



MASSIVE pics sorry

i took the lacquar off the wheels and polished them up with a stitch mop (that goes into a drill) and compound and buffed away till they come up like that.

rob, mines lowered 60mm. the rears do rub but only when the rear end compresses really low when you go over a bump fastish.

morpheus, its drllied so i can get the bumper off. with having smoothed arches a needed to make some way of getting the bumper off.

davido, in what way. guide me in the right direction and i will try to make them fit. but please don't say its because of the rear panals
