Amazing Sapph Tarren! and by far the best colour

Ambers are the way forward mate, do you mind me asking what you payed for all your new Ambers? pop me a PM if you like.

Iv got a standardish 2wd Moonstone Sapph too, shes got 46,000 on now, i remember buying her with 35,000 on the clock makes me sad lol, but youve got to enjoy them.

Just fitted a new front spliter on mine and shes looking fresh.

Again outstanding Sapph, always very nice to see these great cars

This is my old girl...



James.

What do you fancy to replace them with though mate? I think a nice set of TH2's would look good on it!!

I keep thinking about 18"s lol

I don't know mate

I am going to send my wheels off this week to be refurbed as the passenger side front has a small curb mark it's only little but i keep looking at it lol

But I am going to get them all done so they all match perfect as i am anal ....... only downside is i am going to lose the OZ Racing decals on the wheels, but i will give Oz racing a ring on Monday to see if the still sell them fingers crossed!

I have driven my mates Sapph on 18's and i didn't like it it is a shame as all the best wheels seem to be in 18's

What ones where you thinking Karl for yours? Old style comps ?

Yeah I think so mate, it's more of a looks thing tbh, never driven one with 18's on and I've heard mixed reports but they do look good. Threw some polish at mine today mate, will hopefully post some pics tomorrow

Update time!!!!!!!!!!!

Right 2 of my alloys have had a couple of minor curb marks, but they are now winding me up as I keep looking at them lol

So today I took all the alloys off and I have just dropped them off to Harry @ Autowerks in Slough to be fully refurbed!

I only had 2 Axel stands so had to borrow my mates RST wheels, they have Advan slicks fitted and look quite funky on the rear of the Sapph, Took a few pics and one of the worst alloy showing the curb mark!
