i need to sort my tracking (as you can see by the way the front wheels toe in at the bottom,) also you may notice one of the stripes on the bonnet decals stretched to much so i have another coming for that, and i need to fit my side decals.

Good work Gra
I wasnt sure on that choice of alloys from when you first got them,but spraying the centres black makes em look surprisingly good on your car.
Nice to see someone doing things different
