Plans are looking good mate, what are you planning on doing with the front number plate - if your gona put one on that is  :wink:

Well I have been running around with my private plate recently, but I have been stopped for it twice in the 4 days I have had it on, so back to a normal plate for me..

Still, going to have the grill worked on a little bit so should be a bit different  :happy2:

Ah cool, yeah I think they look great.. Although this isn't exactly the colour im going for, its going to be a lot more battle ship grey than anthracite.. Should look a little different!!

I think with tyres they are about 17-18KG..

I tried to get the Mg wheels but you need to order 12 sets lol..

Crap, that's seriously light... I bet the car felt instantly better sticking those on alone!

So needing a set now  :drool:
Sideways yo!

Ahh, timing's all wrong - just bought some 6-pot APs and besides, I have a set of BBS in the garage for the track anyways... so I don't actually need them, as much as I'd like them!!

Maybe in a few months when I've saved some more money in the car's slush fund, I might shift the BBS on and take you up on that offer.

Can I have first refusal though?

Hmmmm I'm interested.... that's a short list of wheels.

I happen to know someone who has just sold some Mg BBS - you haven't, have you?
