im not happy with the last alloy so my plan is to get three of them done and on the car as it will be easier to remove 1 wheel rather than more, ill just redo that wheel and some engine bits, im also gonna be doing my boot lid, i wont be doing the fins now as a friend knows a guy who will spray my boot lid cheap ive just got to weld it and prep it then i will have a nice smooth boot lid like jons lol.

pro bolts ive already looked at and think ill get them from there, ill check on that thread again in case you put a different link up.

the car is gonna have to wait now till the new year, im putting the alloys on 2moz just so i can put it away in the garage so it dont get damaged etc and it just gives me time to save up and buy all the bits i need so its ready for the shows. hope people like it if they dont then tough lol

just looked at your link and they are cheap was also eying up that heat shield as that is cheap. i think i just need to get cash together and strip the car and get it all done. if i save now by 2013 i should have enough for a full respray, engine tuning and get most bits powder coated and some interior bits as well as new alloys.

there you go plan is sorted lol

what is next on your car nick?

i took the alloy off today so 2moz i can rub it down and paint it. im also thinking of changing the colour of the engine bits that are now anthracite to gloss black. Ive just e-mailed spec r about exhaust heat sheild, pas tank and coolant over flow tank read for when the red pipes go on etc. ( once someone finds out a price for me) and will start on the boot lid very soon so its prep'd ready or for the time being get some red vinyl and cover the holes and use sealant to stop water getting in the boot.
