Drove up to Scotland on Saturday to hand over £400 to Martin_C for the rh deep dished wheels he had for sale (and what a reet nice dude he is too!!). here's a few quick pics. (its raining outside)








then during the early hours of sunday morning some fuck wit broke into my van!! they bent the drivers side door down trying to get in but the alarm went off!! i don't know what they were after as there is nothing in it! the rear is stripped out and my head unit was inside. hell!! theres a red led flashing away letting you know its alarmed!! wankers!!

think i'm gonna stick to white, but if you have any ideas i'm open to suggestions. i quite fancy a satin or matt colour.

yeah i know about recess at the rear. just need to work out how i'm going to go about it! thinking of smoothing off the recess in the front bumper?

Bri, its not that bad tbh! just wish he'd look after it!! we've got a seicento front going onto it to give it a less brick-like shape!! then it need some dished mini-lites on it!

looks like it needs a good clean like.

never seen a euro styled cinq... mind you that might be because noone mods them.

would like to see the outcome though

I CAN'T LOWER IT ANYMORE!! its 60mm as it is!! plus its got a 2 liter in the front so any lower and the sump will be ripped off!!

the rears are 8" wide et 30, fronts 7" et 35.

the front bumper is available from reiger (used to be dietrich) and is an rs (not rs-s which is the add-on apron)

carl, i'm going to put a recess into the rear bumper when i get chance and maybe smooth it off while i'm at it!

schoey, i was thinkin of a peachy kind of orange. i've seen an audi tt round my area with it

anyone fancy photo shopping some colours??
