anyone copy any things you have do to your car(s)? I mean one-off things, not fitting a GSi kit and speedlines.
Was walking home last night, saw a decked VW Caddy van with G60 steels, painted the same as I had mine!!! it was less than a mile from mine, so he must of seen mine around! Put a smile on my face anyway!

I had one guy ask the size adaptors I had, told him and then he fitted it all and then try to have a go at me when they rubbed on his car, not my fault he didn't see about me rolling my arches!

I think Phil's / mine (lol) spawned a few things to be copied; particularly the SXi's.
