OSV 0 Posted May 22, 2011 Love to see clean arches, drives me mad seeing them crud encrusted on nice cars Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
poll250 0 Posted May 24, 2011 Good work on the arches Mat, some serious elbow grease getting them cleaned up. Think I may have to give mine a go this weekend, can't be letting the side down now can I! Are they Hicon-GT coilovers? They look the same as mine, except mine are a horrible fluro-green!

Are they Hicon-GT coilovers? They look the same as mine, except mine are a horrible fluro-green! Hi Andy, Yes they are Hicon-GT, got them straight from Germany via Reuben at TuningWerkes, the specs have changed slighly for the 2011 ones. As for the arches, its not the best job, but looks so much better, we used soap and water for the loose stuff then 2 coats of Gunk in each arch and they come up great! :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60MAT 0 Posted May 25, 2011 Suspension is now all new, went for a mix of OEM and Powerflex. Coilovers are finally on and have made an amazing difference! The car now handles like its on rails and even seems faster! Got plenty of new parts together, next job - full brake upgrade! ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kempy 0 Posted May 26, 2011 not my neck of the woods really, every time i see a tidy satin makes me wanna get mine sorted. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60MAT 0 Posted May 27, 2011 Finally picked up the new wheels today, had a full refurb and look very sweet indeed, decided on tyres and they will all go on once brake upgrade is finished (with a load of other parts) The plan now is to debut the car at DC11... ...and before you start guessing the boxes are unrelated to the wheels, they were just used for shipping! ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OSV 0 Posted May 27, 2011 I'm guessing Azev A Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60MAT 0 Posted May 29, 2011 (edited) I'm guessing Azev A Very close Gareth, they're Azev AS Split rims 17x 8" Here's a few pics when I picked them up and after the first clean... Sent the wheels off to Prestige Wheels for the refurb. Alloys have now been split, dipped into a paint stripping chemical bath, shot blasted, then had three coat powder/paint coating system and finally oven heated.

G60MAT 0 Posted May 30, 2011 Unimpressed by the Bank Holiday weather decided to fit some parts tomorrow. Here's some new additions for the rear, had them custom made by one of the lads on Edition 38 forum. They have been smoothed, tinted, lacquered and baked, followed by a quick de-nib and polish. Got a few more parts to gather for the rear end and then get everything fitted. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
