Wheels are a big improvement. The graphics are subtle enough with blue against black. You\'re brave to take it on though. What if you didn\'t like the result after all that work!!!
FD or not FD? that is the question.

Hayward North

If i dint like the results i would have painted it again, best part of being a workshop manager i guess, :) and i enjoyed every minit of painting it.

Kinda l8t at the mo but will get the tyre size and make off em in the morning and post in the evening when i get home.
The backs have 2mm spacers on as i had them left over from my mx5 10ae but i think i will be replacing them with about 10mm ones to bring it out a little may even put the 2mm on the fronts ...
Had 25mm on my mx5 and i know 2 much will make the car tram like crazy so im gonna be carfull.
Also puts a little strain on the berings but they are an easy swapout and are inexspensive so i aint gonna wory bout that.

Btw anyone know if there is anyone meeting at the vue this sunday ?
