Update,
don't have time for an notch right now, so i just lowered it normally..
it needed a wash again:


this weekend i had some time to work on the car.
swapped and old coolant housing on the cylinderhead. it was in dire need of replacement:

still need to do this one; but i fucked up and ordered the wrong part:

the window wipers had seen better days; so i've replaced these as well.

and now i was focusing on my wheels. i am completely done with the red faces. and the stretch. the wheels also have some curb rash so i decided to refurbish them. and ofcourse they needed to get off the car but this time i didn't wanna drive on the old 13" wheels again. so i borrowed my mate's C2's:


it's not really my cup of tea, but hey, it's better then the 13".
but somewhere i feel like i'm driving around like this:

anyway; yesterday i gave them a quick polish:

and picked up a few goodes from a mate:
smaller inserts:

and aluminium door inserts, since my old ones are from plastic:

the rm's are going off to a place where they'll try to fix the curb rash. i'm gonna take a few mm's of the mounting faces so i've got a higher ET value. this is because i like the staggered look, but i know 185/45 is going to be to wide for the arches in the back with the current wheel specs. after that i'm going to give them a proper polish and they'll be send to a paintshop
