ohh, also purchased two wheel for the rear that i had before but didnt fit due to them being too wide, which i now want wider wheels and tyres, there also 15" which gives more tyre choice IMO







how they looked before

Radiator and intercooler look great

A light dusting of satin black spray paint will do the trick, that's what I'm going to do to mine when theyre finished.

thanks,

although the cooler is too big really, it fits but has caused major rad issues as regards the plumbing as there is no clearance for the pipes

will have to see how im gonna get my head round this

Doh! Get some photos of the rad/cooler in position and you might get some good ideas from us resto thread readers.
