got no pics from side page, forgot to, just ran out side and took a few before the heavens opened..

couldnt wait to get the wheels fitted, but now should have waited and sent them off to be polished, but oh well..

will pull them off one of the weekends and give them a tidy up...

I love them wheels, kinda remind me of azevs if thats what they were called, I reckon dark grey inners and polished lip for the wheels would look awesome! Good job!

Not really a good sign if it's causing sparks, would get a nice fine or possibly get the car taken off you if the police happened to be behind you and saw it.

Fuck all to do with the roads, my cars fine. I think they would blame it on your car being too low

It's your car not the roads you wouldn't put it through and MOT like that would you? no, because it would fail just warning you, if the police see spars then your car will be taken off you as un-worthy. It's far too low if it's sparking.

rofl!

should have stuck some cav slabs and lowered it 60mm, then say its low because it catches the low hanging middle silencer over huge speedbumps..

bless
