I'll reserve judgement on the wheels until I've seen em properly (think I'd have gone for a cross-spoke design, but the same dish & colour!), but I
love those arches. Just wish I'd got there first! Saying that, I'm going with the zender kit, & keeping the chrome, so the overall effect'd be pretty different still...
I never really liked your flip cab, but this one's gonna be awesome by the looks of things so far

Nav like Dips says "Anything can be done for the right price" I think the secret to flaring an arch is not to get too silly cause it will end up looking too bubble and look like it's been stuck on. I could have choosen another kit, but i wanted the Tech2 kit cause i knew when i said i was getting the arches flared people had a vision that it was going to be completly outrageous like the Rieger, and i wanted to show that you can go mad whilst still retaining the original lines of the car. It's proper Euro, but with the booty flavour without looking OTT like the Rieger
Elf could you not have had some wheels made here? You seem to have been waiting for these rims for months
Andy the wheels are 17x11 with 245/35 tyres rear and 17x10 fronts with 225/35 tyres

Ha, ha. Gazza you need to take a deep breath mate

.
The Rieger was originally a blue 325 cab, which Brain Harvey had the kit fitted from new. It was fcuked when i bought it and completly stripped it, put a new kit on and rebuilt her again with a Kandy Tangerine paint. I took it for a Mot and they crashed it braking the fron bumper, so i had it resprayed Kandy Red.
The Msport was Sebring and is now Atlantis Blue with a twist and i also have the E30 in my sig although that's just a shell at the moment.

We need a "Bootyman's Bitches" gallery of the cars at each of the stages i think.
Be interesting to see the changes.
