Yea but it seems that everything they do is a complete bodge.

It was like the Saab they done for Martin Kemp.

"Oh i think it should be lower, i know, lets cut a coil off the springs"
I mean what the fuck!!!!!!

003-24.jpg?t=1275499936
004-24.jpg?t=1275499936

013-4.jpg?t=1275499936
014-2.jpg?t=1275499936
and them together
015-2.jpg?t=1275500124
now for the evil sierra, it has gun metal comps, half smoked rear lights, bigger front spoiler, racing wing mirrors, escort seats.
016-2.jpg?t=1275500124
better pic of the front spoiler
017-1.jpg?t=1275500124
018-1.jpg?t=1275500124

025-2.jpg?t=1275500484
and here is my mk2 estate, need window rubbers all put on and side window, then some decals off dave, couldnt believe what i done to this, i was glueing the wheels on and i must off touched the glue with my finger without knowing then i touched the wind screen leaving a big glue print, so i sanded it then varnished it, dont look to bad.

I like the wheels. Think I will go for grey rather than black on the pick up. I got the rs wheels aswell.

Has anybody ever tried that back to black stuff you can get for car bumpers on the tyres. Wondered if it would make them darker, a bit more newer.
