This is my firs car, i got it in February 2006 looking like this.


few months went by and my plans for euro style went in this direction:


i picked these rims up for £300, they looked great in real life the pics do them no justice. However, i wanted to lower the car (obviously) and being 17 and still at school ive not got anything like the money to do the arch work, furthermore, the wheels where causing problems with the wheel bearings and cv joints... so after 2 monthes i releaved them of duty!

along came the summer holiday and lots of time to tune. 60mm lowering springs with g max shocks went on. I also got some cav cesaro wheels with brand new continental sport contact 2 tyres for £100 it was worth a trip to lemington spa to pick them up. The wheels were in quite a bad condition so i spent a week refubing them with fillers and lots of wet and dry. I finished them with Ford Ash black perl on a zinc primer basecoat. £20 of paint and paper well spent.

The result in mid August 2006:


I got some brembo discs and 2.0 calipers for £30. They went on in september along with a scorpian imola 3.5" round.



This is how the car stands today. Quite good i think. Will be for sale soon Though.

I have to say, it looks better on the Cesaro wheels than the 7slots.

Needs Centre caps though

Like that.

Loved it on the euro wheels as it was different. BUt prob best to get shot of them if they were causing you so much hassle - althought would have looked awesome if lowered on them!
