OK, I'll swap you for a set of viper stripes, You must be getting the better deal. Think of all the cleaning I'll have to do to keep them shinning.

You need to get some pics up with the wire wheels on your car. Where did you get them from?

Do you see what I mean about your first photo at the Forth Rd Bridge, It looks black

If you are going to get it re-sprayed, Better getting RED, CLASS

by **secat187** » Fri Feb 02, 2007 7:59 pm

You're obviously not looking hard enough if you can't find dib dabs.

Any idea what suspension you've got?

by **lewiseunos** » Fri Feb 02, 2007 8:17 pm

i put v-maxxx on it with HKS ball top mounts

it is solid on the road and going to take the hks top mounts off and get normal ones

Where did you get the nose?

Looks modified

Lewis, are the alloys in the Forth Bridge photo the same as the ones in the later photos you posted? I was sure the 1st photo showed the same ones I have stored, not so sure now! I know you polished them, but the rim looks different...thicker in the 2nd set of photos.
