Ace still getting them speedlines? Can't wait to see the progress :) I wanted that turbo kit :)

[craig green]

That needs a vented bonnet!

[Tommy_nova]

i really wanted them speedlines off pie i even got the money ready and set off from my house to pick them up !!
he then told me not to bother coming as he needs new tyres for his new wheels first.. fair enough i said but not hurd off him since and to be honest dont think he intends to sell them :( actually gutted as they would of looked mint on the gsi.

Craig :) il be having the bonnet off you just need to come across and pick it up one weekend can send the funds over when ever you like or just pay cash ?

[Jeff16v]
