Also they much heavier?
Got them for free, swaped a few bits of the saxo for them.
Dont seem to be any heavier than the wheels thats on the car atm, must find a set of scales and see what weight is in them.

Parts are arriving steadily 
New wishbones are here
Lower brace is here
Suspension should of been here today, but must be tomorrow instead.
Going to get it all on next week, im on holiday then so plenty of time to do it.
Also sprayed another wheel rim, but the paint reacted, so need to rub it down and do it again

Bad stuff about the wheels I'm thinking of spraying mine black, the novelty of white has soon wore off

Yeah, so bye bye XSI:
Thanks to the kind german who pulled out on me 
So onto the new one:
Not a bad car really, not as fun as the XSI, but much more comfortable.
Half leathers are awesome, I must say 
Anyways, plans. Going to get a blaze yellow bonnet, not too keen on the black sparkly one. Single wiper has been removed, replaced with the standard setup. Quite fancy a set of morettes too.
Wheels, I may just keep the raptors, but if a nice set come up then I might well fit them. Could even try my 205 GTI wheels on it, got a yellow rim though

The 205 wheels I have used to be on that very car, but now ive put the yellow rim on them, I cant see it looking any good
Might even get the 205 wheels re-powdercoated.

Goldish colour at one point i think, but the paint has peeled etc, needs redone.
Anyways, new brakes:
Much better, one thing off the list for the MOT.

Sell you a set of VTS calipers cheap, then buy the brake set I got, mintex disks & pads were £60dd from ebay i think.
