guys, the idea was to sell and free up cash and buy a S1, but then this seemed to come along very quick and a deal was done! The new owner was also selling the 500 to free cash, yet we both have done the oppersite!

Brammer : what width's are yours? and how much arch mods have you done?

The arches were just rolled using the tool, if you imagine the arch as a v shape thats what there like.

The fronts are 7.5x17 ET30

The rears are 8.5x17 ET22 (this is where the issue was) to get wide wheels you'll have to roll or opt for the 8" rear that most go for

Lovely Karl,

Even without pics i know the cars going to be a stunner

nice choice in wheels as well

Had someone round to look at the 3 door 2 weekends ago.
Now i've not seen this car since i bought the CSL back in March as i cleaned it put it in storage and threw a cover over it.
Took the cover off, stood back, had a look at it and turned to the guy and said sorry its not for sale
