Tom B's Tornado Red G60

[Tom B 0]

I've finally got my replacement camera, 3 months after it broke! I'm proud to present, some semi-decent photos! :)

 

The first picture is of it when I first got it. Apologies for the poor quality, it was done on my 6230i. The wheels are Mini One alloys. The tyres were totally the wrong size and the centre bore was totally wrong. I found that they were forced onto the hubs with long bolts and spacers...they had to come off straight away!

 

The next set of pictures were taken yesterday morning. It has 15" TSW Hockenheims on it which I got off a mate for £50 with good, correct sized tyres. They'll do for the moment, but I have new wheels going to the polishers next week :)

 

The final set of pictures were taken just now. It's a bit dirty as I used it last night. You'll notice that it's sitting lower, I'm bedding in a set of FK Silverline coilovers. When the new wheels are ready to go on, I'll assess the drop again. At the moment it scrapes on speedhumps and refuses to go into my garage. I have a feeling the splitter will be pulled off in an hour or so :)

Nice, is the 16v still alive and kicking?

That close up picture of the Corrado/G60 badge would make a great banner picture.. If you've got a higher res version post it up in the Banner Thread. :)

triggermyson, I was thinking that too! I'll submit a pic to it once I pull my splitter off :)

looking good tom.. whats the plans rims wise??

coullstar, I'm afraid not! There must be an imposter somewhere! :)

 

16v, what happened to your G60 rims? Are they for sale? ;)

 

Bally, when Dav gets his arse in gear, he'll be sorting out some 7x16" Stroseks for me. In standard form they look a bit cack, but they should look loads better with a bit of TLC :) You know the score, anthracite centres, mirror polished dish! :D When I tell Dav to get his arse in gear, I'm only joking mind!

Y'know, I never noticed the rear windows were tinted until just now!

 

That's on the list of things to pull off! :D

Tom B, I've been hit with a HUGE bill from a garage to sort me car, so the wheels are staying on.

 

Oh, and that sig pic is an old shot. :)

Aaaah, I knew you were on about changing them, and I thought they were your new ones. They don't look too bad actually, a damn sight easier to clean than G60 ones!
