not sure where it came from, saved it from my m8s car that was going to scrap, so lucky to get it, i have done some research into the kit and have found out it's discontinued im affraid, the closest thing you'll get to mine is the rieger genesis wide kit thats fitted to bootymans car.

The B20 powerrrplant is fine, it'll still put it ahead of knobs in Volkswagen Polos or Ford Ka.

I think I'm broken, I quite like this awful mess. Nice one Tom.

Don't such wide wheels cause very rapid wear of the wheel bearings and suspension bushes? :?
