only thing is no the pics it looks alot higher than your side skirts, if you get what i mean. Might not look as noticable in the metal.

No offence mate, I just thought they were a bit too round for the C shape, new ones are much better

*edit* I mean the spokes, of course the rims are round

i like the shape of the standard rear bumper. if there was a deeper version i'd have that but the ones on the market at the moment are too square looking.

big thanks to martin for selling me the wheels in the first place (and for nearly ripping my front bumper off!! haha only pulling your leg )

its gonna be the colour thats really gonna make or break the final look, so i'm gonna need a little help....

for the rear bumper, pop down to a scrappy, buy a rear bumper with number plate recess already in, cut it out of bumper, cut hole same size in yours and plastic weld in, then smooth with filler

wereas colour do it ford olympic blue
