Looks good but id say those poverty spec rear lights need to be binned for some smoked ones or r32 rears. Then it will be spot on.

The rear end shot looks sweet! Would look even better with a little camber?

All red rears would look awesome. Would contrast lovely with the silver.

I agree actually. Get some red tinting spray and just tint them red. Would look good i reckon.

I used stuff like this before and the end results were better than the spray stuff. It also lets through more light, so the indicators still have a tinge of orange...

ArdenBlueDan cheers again dude !!
Yeah jamie its not nice to drive!! But toni manages alright so thats what matters i guess .
BenC1985 thanks bud , yeah the lights are on the list to be changed very soon ! Mainly because i snapped the corner off of one of them because there a twat to remove . Shes going with R32 rears , we were looking at some last night in fact
Luke cheers bro!! Cambers not really an option even though it would look mint . As would increase tyre wear and she does a fair amount of miles each week in it .
Corsa_Sport21 Thanks . We found some genuine Valeo all red rears a while back but he wants R32 ones .

Love this. Slightly jel that your missus has a car like this I'd say defo worth looking into the plates to get the rear wheels sitting better in the arch. Would look amazing sitting on some OZ futura's

Statics cool but slightly impractical , but ts the cheeper option . This is my freinds static leon :
Hes been threw numerous driveshafts and sumps even though hes running engine raiser blocks and a shallow sump . He snapped the dog bone mount of the other day and the rear of the chassis is sat on the rear beam . Its fucking awesome but hes always broken down and breaking stuff !!

So I think it's about time I updated this one! Since the last update its had a fair bit done! Chassis notch, front bumper and wings repainted, lots more lows using 6N top mounts and removing the helper springs, cambered rear wheels and last but definately not least, New wheels!
The new wheels are Watercooled Ind CC10s 18x8.5j front and 18x9.5j rears. With 205/35/18 nankangs stretched onto the 8.5s and 215/35/18 stretched onto the 9.5s !
Anyway here's a couple photos!
Sealed the new wheels , each wheel had 4 coats inside and out!
Got them fitted , had to raise the rear about 15mm when we first put them on as it would have fouled the arch far to much!
And today we cambered the rear wheels to allow more room in the arch to lower it more! We used 2 and 1 washers but its towing in far to much so next week were going to even it out with 2 and 2! Also dropped the front another 10mm!
So next plans are to laminex the headlights , got some here but haven't got round to it yet, will be a dark grey tint. And R32 skirts!
