Love the stance on the car but still think the wheels need to be silver.

Glad you had a trouble free journey.

Great pictures, great car, and I love how you actually use it, rather than keep it locked away, much respect!

Right, google Reyland and look at his site, click on contact us and ask him, he is a top bloke and very friendly, he will tell you, or pm him as sure he will respond.

He is sorting me out some 4x4 brakes with 4 pots as soon as my car comes back from Mark Shead for vipec, he has been brilliant to deal with so I am sure he will help you.

I know they are 8x18 so you only need et and I don't think there are many variations.

Hi Lee No Real updates as I don't take it out of the garage when the weather starts to get nasty, I'm going to finish the mapping but other than that there's not a lot to do. I'm never going to run this car on track!
