[Stephen SRi]

[RobJenko]

cheers chap, tbh, i wernt even looking for them, id toyed with the idea of them ages ago (and the later style where they have more spokes closer together) but them when these came up for sale locally for a bargin price, i had to have them, i had to sell the cav gsi wheels it was sat on very quick (and did in 5 mins of seeing the ad for these!) but was well worth it i thnk.

Ah so it was the bumper after all.

[RobJenko]

yep, i think so chap, probably from when i hit the curb trying to park outside Gambs. fixed it on tidy now and lined it up proper now

Looks good on the 16's mate but the 17's do look awesome.

[RobJenko]

cheers chap, im loving the 16's, i think they look good and the ride is very good now, good handling along with a little comfort of bigger profile tyres, but the look with the 17's is awesome.

[Nutty_Turbo]

I'd love to have 17's on my car again but I've not long put a Full set of tyres on the standard wheels. I've noticed though 17" tyres are cheaper than 16"

so what you doing with the engine ?? and the wheels look nice can i have then

[RobJenko]

not sure on engine yet, either carbing the 1.8 or let'ing it. at the mo, im swaying towards carbs!

[Nutty_Turbo]

NOT sure on the graphics mate....... But the 16's look nice on it. Is that a dent in the front passengers wing? or just the light.

[RobJenko]

yep fella, there is a dent in the wing, i got kicked by a horse!!!

[Nutty_Turbo]

So what were you doing driving that close to a horse?

[RobJenko]

lmao lmao i wasnt in the car (or even near enough to stop the stupid thing from kicking the car ) my bosses mother has 11 horses and i was parked in the yard next to the field where she keeps them, one got out and was wondering round the yard and then it kicked the car (and a van)

[Nutty_Turbo]

Was that before or after you put the graphics on it? lol.

[RobJenko]

oi cheeky! the dents been there for well over a year now (but the car hasnt been back to the field - i take the works van now)

[Nutty_Turbo]

Just thought I'd check. Thought maybe he didn't like the graphics

[RobJenko]

cheeky. theres more to come on it when ive painted the gsi bonnet i got sat here and the rear bumper is getting a re-paint.

[Adam_Luce]
