Mr Powdercoater sent me a few piccys:

Wheels split down, rims acid dipped and face sand blasted.

Still a long way to go though.

Lips need repairing. Faces need powder coating. Badges need fitting and they obviously need to be built up and tyred up :)

I didn't weigh them to be honest mate. The drums, you could lift with your little finger, but the faces were noticeably heavy :)

And thank you very much for the compliments. Very happy with them :)

Infact a guy at the local spar said "dem are proppa sick rimz mateeee" haha

So good it almost makes me wish I'd bought a set of these instead of the Turinis (was a toss up bertween the two at the time)

Looks absolutely amazing Nick  :drool:

Just had a browse through your thread. Car looks great, good job!

Out of interest are you still running the FK Highsports?
