my drive is on a slope, it does sit a bit lower when its on level ground, and i need to fit my centre caps but am scared about scrathin the wheels. there like a new twist to speedlines, i think.

wheel look ace, been meaning to do the same to mine for ooo 2-3 years lol

Very tidy car mate, only two things I'm unsure about tho. Are they gold hose clips on the air intake? and is that a real cage? i.e 'show cage' Looks to shiny....

EDIT: and one more lol (sorry) I think you could make it perfect if you fitted the b piller trim ;)

lol the gold jubilee clips look ****, they were a last minute thing yesterday, the last time i send my dad to the motor factors.
yep its a micky mouse cage im goin to take it out in july as i have a kiddie on the way. lol
and i think it looks a bit smoother with out the b pillar vinyl but i see where your coming from.
cheers ben. xx

nice one. i was on and off with the stripe on the wheels for ages! it was a mad last minute decision on friday night, as the wheels were silver before.
im really pleased you lot seem to like it. its taken some effort recently.
yep im goin p.v if all goes well, im sure it will lol
i guess pin stripe wheels are going to be popular soon, so just thought id get there before some others.
ive just come in and dosnt look right parked on the drive! lol

I really like that, the wheels are cool. Different from the usual speedline silver or black.
Nicely done.
