thanks for the comments chaps!
spent 3 hours this morning wearing my index finger out with the autosol. lol
a few areas of 'pitting' i need to sort out and some paint to touch up... plus i might replace the bolts, not quite sure yet.
hoping to get my rear tyres fitted before the new year... 165/60/15s on 8j's. should be sweet.

As i've said before, earn some ghetto scene points by letting me stretch them for you!
Wheels will look immense, and will be one of only two in the counry (that i know of) rocking those wheels!

danny - so far so good lol, i knew they wouldn't fit well with the 195/45s, so looking to get the tyres on asap.
jamie - i didn't get a chance to take any pics because it was so dark lol
it's running back on the ronal turbos now anyway, so you can't notice it so much
