yes i know they need sorting out i can't do anything about that though as the puma is still in my garage until my dad tows it out.

hubcentric spacers are a must. probably going for 15mm on the rears as i don't want any rubbing.

already had this many times.

my mate overtook me in work over a speedhump in his rusty skoda felicia pick up with 177k miles on because i was 'crawling over them'.

Scraped on 3 out of 5 speedhumps in work

Going to get some metal plates made up to go underneath the front bumper fangs, to protect them.

At Last!will look much much better. Just got to repaint the brakes to hide the Essex feel.

Red roof would suit a black car better I think.

Probably too scared to try and take the wheels off again. Possibly could try painting them with a paint brush this time though?

Sorry Ben I cant help myself

You have the best wheels already. Just a shame someone thought they would look good black

i don't see what the big deal is about painting them with a small paint brush.

i did exactly the same on my focus and puma and they came out fine.

as i said, i was changing the pads anyway so i didn't matter if some red paint went on the old ones. i'll get a pic just to prove you wrong.

I think its definitley this!

Got the anti freeze sorted today. Wasn't paying 60 quid to get it changed when my dad could do it for free (£20 for bmw coolant).

Also gave the car a polish with meguiars stuff and another coat of collinite 476s wax. I love the stuff, leaves a clear concrete like coating on the car and beading is pretty cool too.

front end only just clears a small bottle of autoglym





I liked the reflection also, so took a pic:

i know nothings changed, i just wanted to get some half decent camera pics of it in an empty car park.

yes i know, wheels look shit i've decided to leave them until after winter now as they'll only get ruined.

love the lines of the car on this one:
