    Alright so the wheels have arrived, and I have also ordered some Koni Sports shocks with H&R Springd... figured since it needed new suspension mounts and bump stops, that when in rome...

    So this thread will get more interesting for all the pic lovers real soon!

          Droool!! That is clean mate!! I need to get my impact strips back to black, and also find a front lip.

          Someone walked over my car when I was DJing Saturday night. Thankfully no damage, just bare foot prints.

          Getting window tint and an alarm with remote central locking installed on Friday.

            Excuse the bow tie

            I love the look that the wheels have created. But damn I forgot how hard it is to take good pics of a red car! I will take some much nicer ones once I sort out the bumper trim...

                      Yes I like Marble Hill water, and yes those boxes have empty beer bottles in...

                      Specs:

                      16x8 XXR 531
                      205/45 Nexen Tyres

                      Koni Adjustable front and rear with H&R Springs lowered 35mm. I like the ride height and the way the wheels fit. It is hard for me to capture it well in the pics though, looks much better in person. Handles fantastic! Although a tiny bit freaky at the back end.

                      Also, believe it or not, the rims are "Chromium black" with the polished lip. I like how subtle it is because I was originally going for the hyper silver but changed my mind.

                      Now next I need to get those bloody impact strips black, and also find some kind of lip for the front!
