collected my sprint c kit, and new wheels

[TWAG]

Had a road trip to derby today to collect my new sprint c kit for the nova. While i was up there i couldnt resist buying some new wheels.

I managed to get 6 irmscher wheels, all brand new for ?200. They have an offset of Et30, which means i dont have to widen the tracking on the car.

The car will be off to the body shop soon for the work to commence.
The c20let is being rebuilt at the moment, and hope to have that back in the next couple of weeks.

[TWAG]

The kit cost ?800, and came with brand new foglights. The kit consists of front and back bumbers, front wings, back arches and skirts, grill.

[novamadcars]

[DaveMarshall]

Nice kit, very rare as well.

[fearless]

I made some enquiries about the kit a while ago - was tempted to buy it but a change of plan made me think again

Looks like you bought it from the guy in this thread

Careful with wheel clearences! My 15s didnt even clear 16v brakes let alone v6 brakes etc needed for a LET

[General Baxter]

if they dont fit over v6 brakes, i know somebody who will have them ;)

good point, i think i might have to buy some highspec smaller breaks. AS i have 288mm discs at the mo.

Off set is miles wrong mate!

Guess it depends if the person is going for a euro look or wide arches.

[TWAG]

The offset is fine, they are the wheels designed for the kit. They are listed for the corsa sprint c in the irnscher catologe.

[Benn]

what nova they going on craig? the silver one?
love the wide arches and love them rims!!!

[Matt2107]

Thats a nice kit, should look pretty hot.

[TWAG]

yeah they are going on the silver one, a bit of a change i know, but ive had the car for three years now and justa fancy a change

[Benn]

look,
what size are the rims?
i thought they where 14's,saw them at billing and really liked them,
should look great.

[TWAG]

There 15 inch rims, im hoping i can get the 256mm brakes behind it. Although im planning on running about 260-280 bhp, and im not sure the brakes will be big enough

[novacabrio]

You getting the irmscher bug? :lol:

[Mike]

i sooooooooo want that kit! is there anywhere that still makes it?

Mike

[Mike]

Actually, just make some moulds of it then replicate it so you get rich and i get a wicked looking bodykit aswell! :lol:

Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee? :wink:

Mike

And be on the wrong end of a copyright lawsuit from Irmscher!!
:lol:

[novacabrio]

:lol:

just change a few things (in an insignificant way so youve not "copied" it ;)

[TWAG]

making copies of it doesnt interest me. After paying ?800 for a kit which is twenty years old, i wouldnt want to make it more common.

The fact there is only one other car in the uk that i know off with the kit, makes it worth the money.

With a bit of luck it may venture into total vauxhall.

Would you ever wish to bestow such a terrible thought on your car.

[dan16v]

our m8s cav turbo went in t.v, know what you mean! at the time i said why would you want to? i wouldnt want to untill they stop putting shitty roy'd up chav mobiles in ther :lol: , saying that this months issue is pritty good :lol:

[TWAG]

I just think it would be nice to get a feature, wouldnt really bother me what mag it went in.

[scott.parker]

Fair play mate its going to look very difrent thats for sure,should be nice just have to wait and see now.

Fair play to you, car has come along way since i first saw it and its still going, those wheels are excellent.

Cheers Ben, i have thought about jacking it all in a few times. But im sure its going to be worth it in the end.

I fitted the two front wings a couple of days ago and they look awsome!

[Bent]
