I wish I had the cash to get mine completely resprayed but it would then be heart breaking when the first scratch, scuff, dent, bird crap appeared.

 

Can't wait for the high res pics of the finished article.

Looks very good mate.

 

I'll be interested to know how you get on and, if you don't mind me asking, get some ideas on prices. My VR needs some TLC on the paint and whilst I've no doubting his abilities, getting paint done at Greg Howell's was reeeeallly expensive...

Rob as well as rolling them try to get them pulled a few mm too whilst keeping the factory line, they are inboard of vertical as standard so you can pull beyound the vertical for a mild flare. Very OE looking but better scope for wheel clearance.

Gareth think we moved them slightly but hard to tell.. paints going on now so they are where they are! mind i am running 9.5" on the back and was only having issues with the lip. Now the lip is pressed back the edge that your talking about could be my next problem. I have been playing with the idea of moving to 17's and had my eye on some very nice BBS RC's 17x8 but will see what happens!

Great idea.. except that will result in an MOT failure.

Oh please, anyone who mods their car knows a friendly mot tester. If not, stick some on for the day. That's what all of my mates do.

 

If you really want to be technical the indicator's built into the headlight lenses are probably a fail too as i doubt you'd see them *clearly* at night when the headlights are on.

Sssshhhh! Keep that one quiet!

 

The reason i left them is simple! not everyone likes the car modified and from a value point of view (not that i want to sell this car) i can take this car back to standard! Even have the original bumper and lights mind will need a respray!

 

Thanks for the comments! Really pleased looking forward to seeing it all back together with final polishing done! :D
