What do you recon,

Andy

by **hb69** on Sat Apr 21, 2007 8:38 pm

looks lovely :aviator:

bit too much red though, i would have black mirrors, and where have the blue stripes gone?

by **heeman10** on Sat Apr 21, 2007 9:25 pm

Looks good for a good clean

Tyre blackener would crispen it up a lot, and those wheels could do with being spaced out a bit, would improve things a lot I feel

Give the wheels a good wash/polish/waxing too

thank you

i knew i forgot to do sommet lol ill give them a polish and try to get some back to black,

what size spacers as the wheels are et40

there are 5mm ones on the front already

Yeah the fronts aren't bad, couple more millimetres would be nice but then you'll lose contact area on the wheel nuts

Slap the same on the back and see how it looks!

Tyre black and properly cleaned wheels makes such a massive difference. My sidewalls are back to grey now and make the whole car look very scrappy! Purchased some more tyre dressing yesterday for that very reason!

looking mint fella...

i would have gone for lower profiles my self but the rims do really suit it

by **AW3K** on Thu Apr 26, 2007 3:33 pm

update and a problem

took her for a drive today and the passanger side front rubs like fook on the arch lip, so its way too low,

and on full lock, already got 5mm spacers on

or could this be due to warn lower arms, shocks etc ?

any one any ideas

cheers

ANdy

195/45 is low profile for 15s

My car is lowered 60mm and i have the same wheels (with no spacers) and mine is fine, no rubbing at all. I have had my arches trimmed back though so maybe you need to do the same?

Didn't the XR2i come with an intermittant front wiper?!

by **knuckles** on Sat May 05, 2007 11:51 pm

AW3K :

How low !

Thats lower than mine is with 16's .... that may need raising a tad unless you butcher it a little.

The car looks a million times better from the 1st picture of when you got it. Looks so clean

Last 3 things before fitp -
XR2i decal -Blue strips
Rs turbo bonnet
Amber front indicators :aviator:

keep up the good progress :wink:

niracka - you mean sunday?

ollybee - yeah but the stalk broke

Knuckles - yes it is low and i have had to butcher about an ince of the arch.

sticker is off on today i think but cant find any double sided foam stuff for stripes

speaking of stripes, how much do you want for yours

bonnet might not be ready in time

Cheers
