God damn Jay you really do know how to polish stuff up well!

Looks pretty damn sweet Jimmy if I do say so myself

thanks man! even though it was a joint effort with plenty of help from Ashley too, i must admit Jay did the majority of work (and bossing about) but he definitely proved he knows what he's talking about, the feel of it now is amazing, so smooth, everything just glides off the bonnet!

Yeah I can't really say I did anything really, just a bit of taping and a few c**k jokes

Jay's got the skills if you ask me

When shall we tackle your booted mk3 then Ash???

5 and a half hours of polishing, f**k that.

productive...

So tonight Jay, Stampers and I headed down to Upton Park in London to pick up some new wheels. Polished lips, black centres, 18x8 and 18x9. I'll get some pics up when it's light!

It desperately need slamming now!

I am fully aware of the epic arch gap im experiencing at the moment:







I like the overall look of them with the car, they just need a bit of tweaking to be right.

So far i've worked out that the rubber band's (215/35/18 all round) need replacing with something a little bigger, i was thinking 215/45/18 or similar. They all need spacing a bit more too, the rears are already on 5mm spacers to clear the rear calipers but could with another 10mm on top and the fronts maybe 15mm as well. And finally i need to pull my finger out and order some new springs to cut up!

But i do like the wheels!

thought you was goin for 19s squire? A healthy drop and these should work though, liking the dish on the rear

Cheers dude!

I was going to get 19's, but none of the sets i found were staggered, and these were a steal so hard to say no!

It just needs some bigger tyres (no rush though as these are near new), some spacings and a healthy drop (both of which may be sorted this weekend fingers crossed!!!)

Awesome m8

Once i get the TT low, would be interested to see what they look like on that, if you wanna have a swappies day lol

yeah man, no worries! i reckon they would look good on it! i'll what the porkas on this and see how that looks!

Love those Jimmy, very nice indeed!

They look sick Jimmy, the black centres work really well with the murdered theme of the car. With some subtle lows this will be awesome!

cheers, im on the hunt for some cheap springs to cut bits off as coilies for these are silly money! should be ordering a set tomorrow!

Ironic compulsory scene dish shot:

naughty dirty dish shot you mean haha, break the polish out dude

its that bent volcano!

my car is now a dirty shade of brown! i'll give it a quick scrub after work before the pub tonight though!

ordered some new bits over the last few days for the suspension so new springs, spacers, longer bolts and i also bought some new rubber suspension shims from MB to lower the car by 20mm before i even start with the cutting!

Should all be here by the weekend and on before DC!

Yeah, it was a terrible place, but i did get thrown out for the best reasons!
