I have to say i'm not overly keen. Might look better a different colour? :)

Each to their own :) Southie suggested grey with orange stickering...but it costs money so will have to wait. Personally I love them and the plans are to fit my rollcage painted bright orange for a real stand-out look, with the cam cover and bumper tape to match

Ive nto been to see the antibes for a while as im working fook loads at the mo, but with paying off my loan (finally after three and a half years) plus all the extra ive been working of late, should see her shifting along in the not too distant future:d

Good man Spud, I'm doing shed loads of overtime at the minute...pain in the **** but I'm stockpiling some tasty parts ;) I do want to take her off the road over winter and get the bodywork sorted.

Eventually she will get used competitively so some lights will get fitted

I know that feeling, i never used to work saturdays but have started doing alternate ones, but ive done the last four as our other valeter is still off, about four hours a week extra overtime, plus im now doing four nights at pizza shop instead of just one, not to mention the fact that im no longer paying £207 a month for my loan, im getting delerious about the thought of payday now:d

mk1nova_rich
15-10-11, 06:08 PM
Cheers Edd, no I bought them off D7AKE on here. The for sale thread is on Page 7 or 8 if you want to have a look :)

15-10-11, 06:18 PM

Love those wheels rich but need to be grey ;)

These were what I nearly bought though, they looked more suitable to the era of the car ;)

The colour of the car and the rim style need to be thought of when doing grey wheels.

The colour of the car plus the all grey bottoms means the wheels would be lost in a sea of grey... Keep them white.

Spudly
16-10-11, 03:41 PM
Id say wheel coloured with the decals the same as the bumper pin-stripe!


Btw Rich, you get my text last night?

Edd
16-10-11, 03:56 PM
going on the 'shop above, white looks better imo

mk1nova_rich
16-10-11, 04:10 PM
Yes Spud, but I was balls deep in our lass when my phone buzzed ;) I will reply now lol

PS. I still prefer white...maybe if the door bottoms hadnt been done grey too and the decals were orange it might work! Cheers though Scott :thumb:
