Gav the way its going it might end up like yours

Went down the paint shop last week to strip more bits off & been down tonight to swap alloys as the Comps are now sold.

Oh & got given a 18" RL7 FOC . Thats a set of 5 now all with the correct offset

Engine bay loom coming out......


All out now, since then the Inj are now out & the Bailey Damper has gone to.

Few pics with the RL's back on, but they'll be coming off soon as it comes home.

Looking good mate

I've got RL's on my saff in white what wheel nuts are you using and have you used longer wheel studs and have you used the inserts on the wheel itself?
Sorry for the questions

The RL7 was given to me a friend who has a 3dr 4x4 Rally Car, he was having a clear out and as i bought the 4 Racelines off him, the spare was no good to him and was the correct offset for me I need a spare 18" old style one myself, What offset is yours as if i find 2 can always sort something out

Regarding the loom, speak to Ryan but im prety sure your loom was made by Dingy so be better off asking him 1st i think. both of them are very good at making these looms so you've the 2 options matey

Small Update:

Im still not decided what im doing regarding rear lights yet....orange or tints it all depends how good or bad the front looks with the ambers on. But with that i bought some new rear seal but couldn't remember were id put them lucky enough i found them now

Plus whilst the engine bay is in pieces i got Robbie (The Diva) to get me a few bits powder coated, so with all the original spares i took off when the polished stuff went on, that went to be powder coated. I originally wanted Crackle Black but with everyone going that route lately ive gone for satin black instead. Also a big thanks to dave cos4x4 for taking his spare throttle bracket off so i could get painted

So BIG UP DAVE & DIVA.....
