cheers guys!! I dunno if i should put a 205/40 on the front to give a similar stretch to the rear, i think the front tyre is a little chunky. the rear is a 8.5j with a 215 and the front is a 7.5 with a 215 too.

I have seen you driving this around. If it was my car I would go more euro; your nearly there already.

You should tint your windows, will make the car stand out proper good.

If you need that engine conversion done in the near future drop me a PM.

I'm liking that a lot

also got a strut brace from gaydon, and polybushed the front with superpro stuff, i found this stuff better than powerflex. its also going to jags bodyshop soon to get a couple of dents taken out, also the front and rear valance de-stonechiped and painted along with the bumpers.
does anyone know where i can get all the rub mouldings from? new at a reasonable price??
