right then ive been a really busy boy but i havnt had a usb lead to keep you updated but now i do so here goes lol
ok here goes
firstly i received my rear banded steels at 8j to see if i had to go either 7.5 fronts or 8.5 rears (trial and error) so i tyred them up for a trial fit
and the outcome was 8j was perfect for the rear so i decided to go for 7.5j fronts for the staggered look
BUTTTTTTTTT when these arrived they didnt look like theyd even been banded so iv sent them back and orderd another set of 8js.......i know i wont have a stagger but at least itl loo nice and wide lol
pics of trial fit
so in between a ball aches with the steelies i was paintin all my arches,bumper tops and mudflaps
the finish!!!!!!! i was well happy considering that me and my mate (cheers washey) done thm in my garage out of a borrowed compressor lolbut i know somone on here will have somthing to say lol
and then as promised ive try the CAMOFLAUGE lol marmit mod but here goes and i think it looks cool
on the car
then it was time for the bandys to have a lick of paint...............i as going to cao the dish of the rim but im soo happy with how it stands im thinking of leaving it now tbh oppinions though please!!!!
and then all put together we came up with this.....hope you like
then abit more messing trying to set up the suspension as the rim of the steel will catch the arch which i didnt want because itl take off the paint fom the wheels and the arches soo we had to go up lol
and somthing i didnt even think about was the clearance of my brakes oooooops lol but i was lucky
(just about lol)
THEN lol my mate who helped me paint my arches was so happy with the finish he decided to do it to his corsa let lol
soo now the car looks good all i had left to do is make it move pmsl
so two new pistons, a new set of rings, about 2 hours and 4 cups of tea later this is whee i stand lol
and thats basically it guys.......
im just waiting for my other 2 steelies to arrive then i am ready to go!!!!!!
all comments welcome and thanks for looking

Wahey, updated at last
Looks now with the camo bits, the wheels need camo'd as well though. From side on they just look like cheapo steel wheels IMO!
Gloss black bits look good as well!
Bet you can't wait to get out in it

Just look at the 'shop I did That should decide it!
Try it on one wheel and if you don't like it peel it off.

your not the first person to say that about the doors, but i really dont understand why?
ive had everything flushed from the door handles to the tow eye cover on the bumper (hardley even noticeable lol)so i think it looks cool and it keeps within the smoothed euro look
and yeah i hate those ronals now thanks for your oppinion though matey

they just look a little cheap/chavvy, but i agree with keeping with the smoothed euro look, i just think some de-locked colourcoded handles would have looked better, but still only my opinion its your car
when you going to be out in it then?

I agree with the handles, some Audi handles would've been nice.
Like these http://www.dez-auto.ro/images/audi-a6-.jpg
Still as fuck though!
