Nice one. I bought a manual for my car and the plan was to read it from cover to cover Started reading a fair ammount but it helps when you can actually put it into practice. Maybe get a cheap car at some point in my life to test things out on.

Yea i seen that. Great price. You should keep the white one. Do up the other one. Then you will probibly have learned more and might be up to the challenge.

They look more like Ronals than BBS, but could be replicas.

Either way, they look better than the steelies.
