They dont look anthracite in those pics! May be the light! but even so- looks well smart! i like.

Needs slammage!, and maybe sideskirts? stienmetz skirts go well on the arden blues!

edit - just read your above post- you lied about colour - so it aint anthracite then?- makes sense!

yea, i saw this colour on a beemer and thought it would look good on wheels, so i went for it, wasnt sure what they'd actually look like on the car tho, i'm quite pleased, its nice to be different.

how low can i go? its 30 all round atm, but i definatly want it lower on the front

True True! looks good as its different! and if you want to be sensible go 60mm all around on 16s (best quality ride height imo) , but you can go lowerer if wanted.

Well...
I got a new quater glass, £140 but its all good now, wheels got curbed by a twat in a beemer forcing me into a curb guna have them redone, but on the plus side i finally got my ass into gear and semi smoothed the boot, wish i'd taken some more progress pics, what you think??

lock off and bit of prep


plate put in to hold popper/solinoid (was being used for my central locking)


Smooth


still smooth



Will get it and the bonnet painted soon
