Good work so far, needs better wheels though

[JonnyM]

looks good, respray the wheels silver and it would look 100 times better

[Buck6687]

put the 225/35s on the front and 225/40s on the rear.
front arch isnt touching tyre now so when i have time ill drop it a few mm more, until i get hold of an arch roller and some more hucentrics.

still not sure on the amber corners. need to get a new bumper too after some heavy curb damage.

[Buck6687]

rolled the arches. couldnt manage to get a flare for whatever reason though.

[Buck6687]

put another 10mm spacer on the front now making it effectively et35 (225.35.18 8.5j)


the highest point is around 22 7/8

[Buck6687]

fresh coat of paint for the wheels and clear corners back on.





need to get some camber and spacers on the rear now(already got 10mm) more money i dont have until new year.

Not very constructive is it?

OP, you got some good progress going, I think it would look great with some amber indicators, the clear ones look a bit lost on the car.

i swapped the ambers over when we did the wheels, they just made it look odd. the amber and black were a nice combo, and now i feel the clear and silver suit each other more.
Thanks.

went to a drift practice day, had fun but want to get a second car that i can just ruin.
