X-pack-Glyn Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 I like lots, but, in my opinion them wheels really dont work... RS 7.5s or 13 inch splits would look much better. Looks like its propper sorted mechanicly as well.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk2Jo Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Mr Ice - I think you've done a cracking job there mate When it is in colour those wheels will look fantastic Looks like your hard work (6 weeks, wow ) has all been worth it so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiesta Steve Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Looks awesome m8, wish I worked at that speed !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHEVY Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 That car looks meaner than a junkyard dog! Dont paint it,it looks bad ass unpainted. I don't normally like those sort of wheels i like steels but they look really good and fill the arches out a treat,and the car sits real nice. Good work mate.

surfingturnip Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 carbon top but grey dash. Too much carbon can be a bit distracting imo. Your car at the end of the day mate, follow your heart with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
