although mines still lacking stance

 

absolutely loving these wheels 

 

and tell me about it, student budgets make progress so slow, but your car is getting there +1 for the 10" lowered and cambered, looks alot more go kart like imo, but each to there own

Wow been a while...finally the stancing begins  :shifty: . Just had my mexico arches and revos put on and I'm now waiting for paint. Im sticking with the same colour as a full re-spray is too expensive! Gunna get rid of the white roof and stripes so it will be red all over with black arches.

Really need some spacers to make the wheels fill the arches but I'm not sure what spacers I need . Need too sort out the rake to and get it sitting on its arse  ;D

was definitely a good shout to go body coloured with the arches... actually makes the wheels look wider for some reason :lol:

This is a red hot LE. No checkmate buh :P
For the stance look.. Personally I'd ditch the spots.. Put a 10 inch wheel conversion and pit some wide 10' rims on it, new fat arches and a 'hi lo' lowering kit!! Would be sweet as! But as you say, it costs money, and for us money is tight!


My old racing green was a flame on the logbook, seems to be a common problem with those special editions.

Right bit of an update! Spacers are on and the stance is getting there. Hi-los are to come shortly so watch this space. I am also looking at buying new wheels with a -7 offset as even with the spacers my current wheels still sit in from the arch  >_< . But she is looking so much better now!

I have also done some little touches on the interior such as sticker bombing the steering wheel horn push and the window winder centres. I also decided to get some door cappings to tidy up the door cards. Its all about the little touches people...
