drift_bear Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) That's my wheels FINALLY getting refurbed this week! I thought the passenger front had a crack cause it wasn't holding pressure after changing the tyre before dragonball, just found out that there was corrosion on the edge where the tyre seals so that's what would of caused it he thinks! A couple of pics of how the car stands just now at the workshop It's taking the guy 5 days to do the wheels for me and the unit is 2mins from my house! If I could guarantee this warn sunny weather will hold up then I would throw on the stock 17's with the MT street radials, but since its Scotland I don't want to take the risk Edited July 14, 2014 by drift_bear (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony tt Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Does you're Bra come off under heavy acceleration Alex? You should put one of those on the drivers side haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Alex, love the stickers. I think my fiancée would rip my balls off I put stickers like that in my car. Awsome roll bar. Thats something I would fancy in the future. How easy is it getting into the car as we're both similarly sized.. (although Alex has slightly bigger genitals) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
