well been a busy boy this week sourcing parts and doing a few jobs

1st job i did was strip my old grille and sanded and repainted the red surround looks better now.


Then i striped out the rear wiper and stuck a rubber grommit in there.


Next i fitted the front upper strut brace,still waiting for my rear and lower one.


But the biggest transformation is the bling BBS RS's 15 x 7" on the front and 15 X 7.5" on the rear.Trial fitted them to see how much i need to adjust the suspension before they are stripped and the centres sent off to be painted black.
I think they look ace



Fronts



Rears



Still waiting for my cage to come from belgium before i can have it painted but it's all coming along now.

Can't find any links Paul, but Rennsport and Dubmeister should be able to get them.

They look spot on as they are though

Looking good

All it needs now on the outside IMO is "crystal" front headlights, M3 style rear lights, and maybe a better exhaust .
