Default Progress on the 18" RL7 front!

Still got to get them painted at some point but have changed the tyres for some new 35 profile Yoko Parada's and fiddled with the coilovers and there is no rubbing now at all

Vic - Gaz coilovers cheap and cheerful just to see if i like it on them! I'm going to get some better quality ones for next year.

Mike - Not a chance mate I have seen what Ant and Ian have to go through and for what they get in return imo it isn't worth it! I can't even be bothered to polish mine i get others to do that

Porkie - Bin the caps and replace them with what? Nothing??

Blakey - They are 215/35's mate! I was going to put 225's on the rear but couldn't be arsed waiting for them so will do that next year

Cossiecrew - Dunno white,Silver,Black??????? Probably Silver though


The rest of you cheers
