When mike polished the wheels he found that 1 of the tyres were nackered and after hunting for one to match the other 3 nangkangs with zero luck i just ordered 4 falkens which finally arrived and got fitted yesterday  :rolleyes:. So today was the first time after getting the bagyards plumbed up that i got a chance to see how it sits, could do with another 10mm at the front but im hoping that it will settle a bit after ive done a few miles.

The hatefull retarded blind cage builder has finished the cage and its full of hatefull retardedness which is good. Ive went for painting the cage and it got a blast of Keets Pea Green yesterday at the same time as the boot floor area.

PICS.....






Decided to try my artistic skills

I can't quite put my finger on it but it looks more sorted then it did last year at UD.

What are the specs on those rollers?

not much changed really mate, i think it sits slightly higher at the front on the new struts that it did before. Wheels are just factory BBS RS 290's but had a polish 18x9.5, ET18, 5x112 :happy2:

Looks awesome, out of interest how come you've got the near side quarter smoothed over but the rest aren't?

Do the BBS Rs's just fit on or was there much modifying needed? I am keen to get me a set, but cannot find any on e bay, and no one seems to have a spare set!?

Much modifying ? you joking the arches are 3" wider all round  :signLOL:

The wheels themselves went straight on but the high ET and width meant serious arch work as mentioned.
Ive got a set of 17x8.5 et37 they are 5x114.3 so would go right on with a set of wobble bolts, youve little chance of finding a set of 18's and even if you do they are all very low ET's. I know of a set of 18x8.5 ET18 (IIRC) but they arent cheap at 5000 USD  :laugh:

I hope your job as a policeman doesn't  need you to make many witness statements  :grin:

Its easier to get a crate of banannas fitting right than those wheels.  :laugh:
