i really dont want to sound rude mate but you talk about buying either polished rims,wires or banded steels and then either collies or air bags but surely to god you really need to think about getting a proper coat of paint on it 1st.......................................
i dont mean to sound negative mate because i do admire your effort but i dont understand lol
personaly i think you shud drop the subframe and weigh the shell lol thats all i know calibras for haha
100% on effort though mate and fair play to you

i know what you mean adam, cheers for the honesty mate,
wih the wheels and suspension im just spectulating on what i may or may not be getting,
like you say, in the end it will be best to take the engine and scrap the shell,which im sure in a few month (about 6) i will be doing,
the main reasin i bought the car was for the engine, thats why i dont really care about the paint,

Getting there! I'll reserve judgement still, but it appears to be coming along nicely! As previously said by Nic, the wheels will make or break it though tbh.
Do your neighbours not ask wtf you're doing?!

Not keen on those wheels mate  Well, I like them, but don't think they'll work with your car. Quite like the ones you suggested on the previous pages - "slab" (not cav slabs lol) wheels will look right on your car imo.
Look forward to seeing the additions to come

cheers aron, i cant stop thinking of different wheels, im gonna have a budget of around £600-£800 for my first set (in a couple of month) then around £400-£500 for a second set (thinking wire wheels with white walls OR 16/17" steels with mooneyes and white walls?)
im liking the idea of lambo reps, reckon i could get them in budget?

looks like they're £895 with khumo rubber from merseyspeed.
have the faces diamond cut (if you get bored of the silver) or go crazy and get them done in a colour
also - you NEED these lights for it
