Bought these at weekend:


Not too bad, but needed a refurb, so got rid of the tyres and away i set to work:





Custom painted, i here you say how are they?

Decided to do an Arden blue lip round the edge, come out really well.












Well chuffed, just another 3 more to go now What you think??

Really like that you will need 45 profile tyres and 90mm springs to get it perfect

Cheers chaps, 45 profile tyres will be going on, and hopefully some form of new suspension, including 90mm drop at the rear

At moment its 40 at front on springs, and apparently 40 on the rear, but its sat at standard height if you ask me, only thing thats out is rear seats and parcel shelf.

Ideally i want coilys at front at about 70mm, and 90mm at back.
