Usually I don't like those wheels, but I've not seen them in black before... which makes them look a lot better IMO.

Still prefer the old SR steelies tho :p

Ford lavente grey its got a wierd green tinge to it in the sun and it sparkles like mad fooking amazing. The funny thing is it cost me 20 quid for the wheels and tyres and then about 40 quid in paint. And it took me two days mainly because i left them to bake in the sun cus it was really hot:thumb: BARGAIN of the year for me!!!!!

Hi mate are you swapping between migweb and here to! then. Yeah the car will be mint nearly everything is standard apart from wheels (which are still standard vauxhall wheels) i had all my arches (all gm parts) redone etc cus they were bad. I need some welding under my arch etc and a door skin as my drivers door is so bad. but when thats done some t40s will be on the way and it will be done (kinda):thumb:

I bought the panels off www.tuning.co.uk (well there not listed on the website) but if you phone them up you can get all arches for quite a good price. Front wing was expensive though at 35 quid then the rear arches are 18 quid but there all qaulity gm parts. I then took it to a local bodyshop and they welded my new back arch and put my wing on etc and sprayed them up for 200 quid. Which i thought was quite good, then again i never took it anywhere else and got a quotelol. I am starting to wonder why i keep going back and forward between bloody websites its doing my head inlol
