Its an old mk2 escort colour. I wanted to paint it in 2pack so no lacquer was needed as it was my first attempt at painting with a gun. Makes touch ups easier too after drifting lol wheels are from driftworks. Word of warning though they wont fit a standard e30 front end as they would hit the track rod end, strut and calipers due to the design of them.

Yeah been at driftland skidding a few times. Mainly go to crail as driftlands alot more expensive!
Had to sand it back to the original colour as the matt black kept clogging up the discs. Id get a sander next time as doing it by hand was a nightmare!
Thanks for the kind words! Much better than last time haha!

Thats cool! I like the wheels, realy suit it and make a change from BBS`s. Did the arches need rolling to fit those wheels?
